Hello staff420-ga,
I’ve collected a variety of resources for you to help you develop your
business proposal. One of the difficulties in answering your question
is that Human Resources Outsourcing (HRO) covers a very broad spectrum
of HR services. You didn’t say which HR functions will your proposal
address so I’ve collected resources to show the possibilities.
I was able to find some pricing guidelines for some industry segments.
In addition, I’ve collected some background information on trends in
the industry and an assortment of organizations that provide
assistance in the HR field. I believe these will help you to conduct
further research on your own.
I trust that the information I’ve found will meet your needs. Please
don’t hesitate to ask for clarification if anything I’ve provided is
confusing.
I wish you well with your proposal.

What is HR outsourcing?
HR outsourcing services generally fall into four categories: PEOs,
BPOs, ASPs, or e-services. The terms are used loosely, so a big tip is
to know exactly what the outsourcing firm you are investigating
offers, especially when it comes to employee liability.

HR Outsourcing (PEO, ASO) Buyer's Guide
URL: http://www.buyerzone.com/personnel/hr_outsourcing/buyers_guide1.html
There are no clear-cut price ranges with HR outsourcing. The fees
range greatly between services, as well as within the services.
Aspects like number of employees, the options you choose to use, and
even geography, will affect your overall cost.
A PEO typically charges 4 percent to 8 percent of each employee's
pretax salary per month. The monthly range can be as little as $20 per
employee to as much as $200.
A typical package with an online service, including insurance, 401(k)
and workers' compensation, costs $75 to $130 per employee per month
with an upfront setup fee of about $2,000.
Contracts with HR outsourcing firms will usually run a year. But you
should work in a clause in which you can give 30 days' notice to break
the contract if you are dissatisfied with the services or don't need
the services anymore.

401k Plans Buyer's Guide
Pricing
How much will a plan cost you?
How much a plan costs is too broad of a range to pin down, since it
depends on a number of variables. But there are standard fees and
expenses that make up the total cost of a plan.
-- Set-up fees.
-- Administrative fees.
-- Investment Management fees.
-- Communication fees.
These are standard expenses that make up the total cost of a plan, but
your plan may have additional fees as well. Other expenses could
include special services (additional training, a toll-free help
number, etc.).
Total costs of plans are hard to pin down. But, in 1998 the Department
of Labor did a study on the cost of 401(k) plans. They came up with
benchmark figures for the top 17 third-party administrators (TPA) in
the country. The annual fees and expenses for a business with 100
employees and $2 million in assets range from $11,400-$42,800.
Annual fees and expenses attached to online 401(k) services are a bit
cheaper. They range between $700-$2000. Per-participant fees are many
times not applicable, if so expect to pay $20 per year.

The Outsourcing Revolution
by Carapeople Ltd
As a direct response to those companies which think outsourcing the
payroll function, despite the demonstrable and manifold advantages in
doing so, is too costly an option to pursue, most outsourcers can
provide financial analyses to combat these perceptions. At Carapeople,
we have gone one step further by introducing an ‘off peak’ pricing
structure.
We are able to offer discounts of up to 40 per cent if a client of
ours is willing to adjust its payday to fall between the 1st and 10th
of the month. Running a payroll during our ‘quieter’ period means we
can maximise the return on our investment and then pass this advantage
on to those clients willing to help us make them cheaper to serve. So,
far from being a fixed and somewhat dictatorial industry, the new
breed of forward-thinking payroll outsourcers have become far more
responsive and understanding.
***** This article presents some ideas about innovative pricing in HR
outsourcing.

http://www.staffmarket.com/smclient_price.asp
Getting the right price when outsourcing your HR
Most employee leasing fees are based on a percentage of the your gross
payroll value. These prices will be quoted as a fee per hundred
dollars of payroll. For example, if the employee leasing fee is $22
per hundred dollars of payroll, the employee leasing company will
invoice you $122 for each $100 in payroll that you run each week
(adjusted for biweekly or monthly payrolls). These additional dollars
cover all employer taxes (FICA, FUTA, SUTA and SUI) as well as provide
workers compensation insurance coverage. That’s the value of the
employee leasing service.
Also included in the overall fee is an administrative fee that will
vary based on:
· Your ability to negotiate
· Your perceived credit risk with the employee leasing company
· Your business history and the type of business you are in
· Your location
· Your employee turnover
· The number of your employees that may participate in the health care
insurance plan
The administrative fee is the primary profit margin for the leasing
company and usually provides the primary proposal component that is
negotiable with a leasing company.

Advancing the Management of Homeland Security
Lifting the Winner’s Curse and Avoiding Buyer’s Remorse: Lessons from
HR Outsourcing Experiences
September 2003 - As it defends the homeland from terrorist threats,
the federal government increasingly depends on outsourcing agreements
with the private sector. Recognizing the importance of outsourcing to
the Department of Homeland Security, the Academy convened “Lifting the
Winner’s Curse and Avoiding Buyer’s Remorse: Lessons from HR
Outsourcing Experiences,” an Academy forum moderated by former Under
Secretary of Defense Jacques S. Gansler.
The outsourcing relationship undertaken by the Transportation Security
Administration for screening, hiring, and training federal airport
screeners provided the springboard for a broader discussion of
outsourcing. The panelists identified key challenges to outsourcing
and suggested strategic actions for overcoming those challenges.
***** This is a 20-page report that discusses private-public
partnerships in outsourcing by the Federal government. This is
projected to be a major growth area for the HR outsourcing industry
and the lessons discussed here might be of interest to you.

April 15, 2003 -- Human Resources: Outsource With Care
Like many technology companies during the recession, human resources
firms are training their sights on the federal government as a
potential new market. Long considered an impenetrable maze of computer
systems developed in house to administer horribly complex civil
service rules, the federal government is starting to look like the
place to be for the human resources industry. In fact, the Bush
administration has begun to push agencies to outsource more and more
work to the private sector. “The federal government is the big dog,
the ultimate HR outsourcing play, the Holy Grail,” says Jay Whitehead,
publisher of Human Resources Outsourcing Today, a monthly trade
magazine. “Everybody who wants to be on the map in human resources
outsourcing has a federal government strategy.”

Vendor Files, Volume 12, Issue 19, October 28, 2003
Outsourcing: Is It A Trend Or A Fad?
According to Mark Hodges from EquaTerra, “The Early adopter stage of
HRO is now officially over and the early adopters are established with
a service provider in place and the market is growing”.
Mark defines two distinct models:
Integrated and Direct: Examples of this are Exult and Accenture, where
they integrate several back-end technology players (in Exult’s case
best-of-breed providers like Deploy, IQ Navigator, and Docent)
Aggregator and Indirect: Mellon, CIBC and EDS
A perfect analogy of these systems is the use of ATMs. Years ago, we
went to the ATM and had a single transaction at our bank’s ATM only.
Today, we can go to any bank and do a number of transactions. This is
similar to what we are experiencing with employee portals and HRO.
The issue when negotiating these contracts is that companies talk
about cost savings, but really mean organizational comfort. Often when
confronted between saving the most money and being comfortable, they
pick the latter.

BPO's Fragmented Future

Business Process Outsourcing Overhyped?
Citing its recently released report, "BPO's Fragmented Future,"
Forrester Research (Quote, Chart) said "firms looking to outsource
core business processes like human resources, and finance and
administration to gain cost savings will not find a single vendor that
can manage such complex offerings."
Meanwhile, Forrester found that while most of the executives it
surveyed reported their companies didn't spend much on BPO in 2002, 52
percent said they were considering outsourcing and planned to spend at
least $1 million on BPO in 2004. They cited human resources, customer
resources, customer service procurement and accounting as the most
likely processes for outsourcing.
The second largest segment will be broad shared services, representing
$57 billion by 2008, Forrester said. This segment includes finance and
administration, indirect procurement and human resources. Noting the
segment requires more understanding by employees than simple bulk
transactions, Forrester predicted that ACS and Mellon HR Solutions
will expand into the HR side of the segment, while big IT systems
integrators will battle over finance and accounting.

Mega deals will elude Indian BPO players: Forrester
September 05, 2003
The business process outsourcing (BPO) industry in India is unlikely
to bag multi-purpose mega deals as the industry is headed towards a
fragmented future in the US, the main source of business for Indian
BPO vendors.
The report has said "although the big players attack the BPO as a
single market, Forrester believes that the complexities of the market
will split BPO into four distinct segments". Accordingly, the future
of BPO will evolve around simple bulk transactions, broad shared
services, high volume vertical process and niche vertical
applications.

Business Process Outsourcing Overhyped?
September 2, 2003
Research firm Gartner (Quote, Company Info), noting that firms are
most likely to utilize a combination of delivery models as they move
toward BPO, suggested that those interested in the model not ignore
the possibilities of offshore insourcing to complement outsourcing. In
offshore insourcing, Gartner explained, firms set up their own
offshore captive "shared service centers," allowing them to retain
control while providing their own data security.
In its report, "Offshore Insourcing vs. Offshore Outsourcing," Gartner
suggested three criteria for evaluating the use of offshore insourcing
vs. offshore outsourcing.

Clarification of Answer by

29 Oct 2003 14:59 PST
Hello again staff420-ga,
Thank you for the clarifications about the specific HR outsourcing
sectors you’re interested in. Each of the four you’ve listed is an
enormous industry by itself. Since they serve all types of clients
from the smallest mom-and-pop shop to the biggest Fortune 500
companies it is extremely difficult to gather meaningful general
pricing figures. In my original research I provided you with a wide
range of tools to help you track down sources for doing your own
industry pricing benchmarks.
Based on your clarification request, I’ve collected some additional
resources for the specific HR segments you’ve named. The pricing
figures, even when available, tend to be very general. There are also
some very expensive market research reports that will give you exactly
what you want.
If you want to do your own comparisons from a buyer’s perspective,
several of the HR hub sites provide you with the capability of
comparing vendors. The pricing will be shown when companies sell
standard products or service packages but most of the time the pricing
is customized depending on the individual needs of the customer.
The research I’ve provided will give you a rough idea of pricing
ranges in the HR outsourcing field. I’ve also given you additional
resources to help you conduct further research on your own. Since
you’re looking for information in disparate HR outsourcing industry
segments you may want to post additional questions to Google Answers
to get more focused information to continue your explorations.
I wish you well for your business.

Online recruiting services
After deciding on the target profile that best matches your job
opening, some services say you can expect to receive resumes in about
five days. Some services set their prices according to the number of
resumes you will receive. One such service, for example, offers 10
qualified candidates for business searches for $3,495. Other services
are less involved in the actual search. You can post a job on their
site, which can cost about $300 for a 60-day posting of one job, and
applicants will send their resumes to you. Then it is up to you to
take over the screening process to select the people you want to
interview.
Offline recruiting services
Recruiting firms, which are usually paid on a retainer basis, are
generally paid about 30 percent of the candidate's first-year salary.
The retainer fee is paid upfront. Contingency firms, however, which
are compensated only when the position gets filled, are generally paid
about 20 percent to 30 percent of the candidate's first-year salary.
Is there a volume discount?
Some online services set their price according to the number of
qualified candidates they will recommend to you, 10 candidates for
about $3,500, for example. If you need multiple searches, however,
some might offer you volume discounts.
-------------------------------------------------
http://www.buyerzone.com/personnel/temp_staffing/index.html
Temp Staffing Buyer's Guide
URL: http://www.buyerzone.com/personnel/temp_staffing/buyers_guide1.html
Pricing
Temp firms generally charge a fixed percentage greater than the hourly
cost of a worker. For basic jobs, this can translate to total charges
of $9 to $18 per hour. Skilled temps tend to be much more expensive.
Technical or professional temps may cost up to $30 per hour.
Most firms offer discounts off their published rates. Even if you plan
to use temporary services infrequently, it is usually worth
negotiating rates upfront to reduce the overall cost.

Training Buyer's Guide

Which medium - or combination of media, as the American Society of
Training and Development recommends - you choose for your business
depends on your needs and your budget.
Print is affordable. A book on good management practices, for example,
may cost about $25 compared to a $1,000 seminar that delivers the same
content.
Audiotapes, like books, remain among the least costly training tools
in the market, costing about $12-$25 each.
You can rent videos for under a couple of hundred dollars or buy them
for about $500-$800 on average. You can try before you buy, too - most
companies let you preview titles for about $35.
CBT and WBT costs depend on how many people will be trained. If you
have a small number of workers to train, or if you anticipate
employees taking a while to master the material, pay by the number of
users. A CD-ROM costs upwards of $50 and can be used to train one user
at a time. Online courses vary from $12 to a couple of hundred dollars
per user, and some course providers let you refer to the material for
a full year.
You can send your staff to seminars. Or, for bigger groups or for
specialized training, you can hire outside consultants (for about
$200-$300 a student) to design a custom training session that
incorporates your needs into their existing courses.
