Statement of Work (SOW)
The Statement of Work (SOW) defines the scope, deliverables, and timelines for services provided by Plan A. It serves as a formal agreement outlining expectations, responsibilities, and outcomes for both parties. This shifts the focus to deliverables rather than individual workers, helping to classify engagements as genuinely OUTSIDE IR35 and reducing compliance risks.
The SOW ensures clarity and alignment by specifying:
Objectives: Clear goals for the engagement, such as filling specific roles, optimizing recruitment processes, or implementing new strategies.
Scope of Services: A detailed description of the tasks and activities Plan A will perform, such as workforce planning, sourcing, candidate management, and reporting.
Deliverables: Key outputs, including talent pipelines, time-to-fill metrics, diversity hiring initiatives, and other agreed-upon results.
Timeline: Milestones, project phases, and deadlines to ensure timely delivery of services.
Roles and Responsibilities: A breakdown of what Plan A and the client will provide to support the engagement.
Metrics and Reporting: Criteria for measuring success, such as hiring efficiency, candidate quality, or recruitment cost savings.
Terms and Conditions: Any additional agreements, such as confidentiality, fees, or termination clauses.
The SOW establishes a shared understanding of the engagement, helping ensure a successful partnership between Plan A and its clients.
Statement of Work (SOW) FAQs
How can an SOW improve my recruitment process?
With an SOW in place, we deliver a structured, results-driven recruitment solution tailored to your needs. By clearly defining deliverables, timelines, and outcomes, we streamline the hiring process, saving you time and ensuring you get the best talent quickly and efficiently.
Will an SOW save me money?
Yes. An SOW gives you complete cost transparency by agreeing on deliverables and fees upfront. This approach eliminates unexpected expenses, ensures your recruitment budget is optimised, and maximises your return on investment.
How does an SOW ensure accountability?
We work to clearly defined goals, such as specific hiring numbers or time-to-fill targets. An SOW holds us accountable to deliver what we promise, giving you confidence in our ability to meet your recruitment objectives.
Why is an SOW more cost-effective than traditional recruitment models?
Unlike open-ended agreements, an SOW outlines exactly what needs to be achieved, removing inefficiencies and eliminating hidden costs. You only pay for the outcomes you’ve agreed to, ensuring no wasted spend.
How can an SOW help us navigate IR35?
An SOW allows you to engage highly skilled contractors on a project-based, outcome-driven basis, rather than a time-and-materials model. This shifts the focus to deliverables rather than individual workers, helping to classify engagements as genuinely outside IR35 and reducing compliance risks.
Can an SOW support larger, more complex recruitment needs?
Absolutely. Whether you’re scaling up quickly or need specialist skills across multiple roles, an SOW allows us to create a flexible, phased recruitment plan that meets your evolving needs while staying within budget.
Why choose us for your SOW-based recruitment?
