Liberty Bishop International
Liberty Bishop International is a specialist outsourced temporary employer, supporting recruitment agencies, subcontractors and end clients who need to recruit temporary labour quickly and compliantly, particularly when operating in new countries or complex supply chains.
Founded in 1995, we are one of the longest-standing providers of contractor engagement and payroll services in our sector. For over three decades, we have helped businesses to navigate changing legislation, evolving workforce models and increasingly complex international labour regulations. Thanks to our experience, clients can expand their workforce without inheriting the administrative, legal, cost or compliance risks typically associated with cross-border hiring or setting up their own entity locally.
For organisations deploying temporary labour internationally, the challenges are significant. Entering a new market often means dealing with unfamiliar employment laws, tax obligations, worker classification rules, local registrations, collective labour agreements, local site entry registration systems and tendering/pricing in line with local rates and employer costs.
Many projects rely on subcontractors who are not locally registered, lack compliant employment structures and have no knowledge of local regulations. This creates exposure to financial penalties, risks of worker misclassification, delayed mobilisation, and reputational damage for all entities involved.
This is where we step in.
We act as the compliant employer of record for temporary workers, taking full responsibility for employment, payroll, tax compliance, local registrations and ongoing statutory administration, while clients retain ultimate control of the labour. By outsourcing employment to us, clients can rapidly mobilise labour while remaining fully aligned with in-country legislation and audit requirements.
We remove barriers to entry in new territories by consulting with clients on the requirements for labour to work locally in the proposed country and by providing the tools to tender and price correctly, thus ensuring that their labour costs are sufficient from day one.
With our upfront ‘tender support’ and further compliant temporary employment service, businesses can scale their operations without having to establish local entities or navigate unfamiliar regulatory frameworks alone.
Although we originally focused on the white-collar contractor market, we have successfully expanded into large-scale blue-collar deployment, supporting complex projects in the data centre, construction and energy sectors. Our teams have passed multiple on-site compliance audits while consistently supplying workforces for high-demand international projects.
To date, we have supported over 40,000 contractors across Europe and partnered with hundreds of recruitment agencies, subcontractors and clients operating in multiple jurisdictions to support their workforce.
We operate as a strategic workforce partner. We simplify international labour engagement, allowing agencies, subcontractors and clients to focus on delivery, productivity and growth.
