What can K80 do you for?
K80 provides two core services designed for organisations delivering complex projects or building critical teams. Both are focused on commercial outcomes, cost control, and speed. While many businesses are limited to hiring within their local region, K80 is not. K80 provides access to talent globally, helping organisations secure the right people quickly, wherever they are needed.
Staff Augmentation & Secondment
K80 supplies experienced professionals through staff augmentation and secondment models, allowing clients to scale delivery teams quickly without taking on long-term employment risk.
This model is designed for organisations running:
- Transformation programmes
- Infrastructure and ICT projects
- Digital and AI initiatives
- Time-bound or uncertain workloads
The K80 Delivery Model
Clients access skilled professionals globally who are:
- Engaged through K80
- Deployed into client teams
- Aligned to project objectives
- Scalable up or down as needed
K80 manages contracts, onboarding, and ongoing engagement, allowing clients to focus on delivery rather than employment administration.
Client Benefits
No permanent headcount commitment
Ideal for organisations under hiring freezes, budget constraints, or workforce caps.
Lower total employment cost
No pensions, long-term benefits, redundancy exposure, or internal HR overhead.
Faster mobilisation
Specialists can be deployed in weeks, not months.
Commercial flexibility
Engagements can be extended, reduced, or closed in line with project timelines.
Permanent Hiring (Fixed Fee)
K80 supports permanent recruitment when long-term capability, leadership continuity, or regulatory requirements make direct employment the right choice.
This is a fixed-fee, delivery-focused service designed for high-impact hires, not volume recruitment.
The K80 Delivery Model
K80 runs a structured, delivery-led search to secure the right long-term hire, not just the fastest CVs.

This service supports both hiring decisions and strategic workforce planning.
