Overview
AuxPay by Auxeris
Getting recruiters paid
Your recruitment agency has access to more technology than ever for finding candidates, managing placements, raising invoices, and improving workflows. Yet until now, there has been no dedicated system built to manage recruitment client payments from invoice through to receipt. Built by recruiters for recruiters, AuxPay by Auxeris gives your agency a better way to get paid by clients, not another automatic invoice chasing tool.
AuxPay manages your recruitment client payments from invoice creation through to receipt. Your agency can issue invoices, agree payment terms, and automate payment collection within one system using Direct Debit, instalments, or bank transfer. That means less time chasing payments, greater confidence over cashflow, and more time focused on growing your agency.
AuxPay is not invoice finance or invoice factoring. Instead of borrowing against unpaid invoices, it helps recruitment agencies get paid more consistently in the first place. Improving payment collection is often more valuable than finding new ways to fund unpaid invoices.
Why this matters for your agency
When invoices are not paid on time, payroll becomes a fixed deadline against unpaid revenue. You can have £100k+ outstanding, but still need to pay staff in days, which forces your finance team to escalate when client chasing has already failed, so you:
-
- End up chasing outstanding invoices instead of focusing on new business and growth opportunities
- Delay hiring or investment even when demand is there
- Use invoice factoring or invoice finance to bridge timing gaps
International recruitment payments and multi-currency complexity
Working across geographies creates payment and currency issues for your agency. Given the time lag between the start of a search and the candidate being placed, exchange rates can move significantly due to geopolitical tensions and external shocks, reducing the value of the fee when it’s paid. With AuxPay by Auxeris you can manage some of that currency risk by choosing the currency you want to be paid in.
AuxPay supports recruitment payment flows across more than 135 currencies, allowing your agency to operate internationally without changing how you invoice or collect payments.
Who uses AuxPay by Auxeris
AuxPay by Auxeris is used by recruitment agencies where client payments are often late and require repeated chasing before they are resolved. It is also used by recruitment agencies supporting scaling clients, where multiple hires happen at once and they need to preserve cashflow. It is also used by recruiters who want to remove manual payment chasing and run a structured payment process, where terms are agreed upfront and payments are taken on a defined schedule through direct debit or instalments after the hire has started.
You typically see AuxPay adopted when founders are still involved in resolving unpaid invoices while trying to focus on new business, when finance teams are spending time managing overdue payments and payroll timing, or when agencies are using invoice factoring or invoice finance because client payments are not predictable.
Why agencies move away from invoice factoring and invoice finance
Many recruitment agencies use invoice factoring or invoice finance when client payments are not arriving on time and payroll still needs to be covered. It provides immediate access to cash against unpaid invoices.
As agencies grow, the cost increases with revenue because more of the sales ledger is being funded. What starts as a short-term fix becomes a permanent cost tied directly to growth.
At that point, the decision is no longer about whether funding is needed, but whether the cost of staying in the facility is worth the cashflow dependency it creates.
AuxPay by Auxeris is built for this shift. Instead of funding unpaid invoices, it changes how payments are collected from the start, using structured payment flows from invoice through to receipt so agencies are not scaling into higher funding costs as they grow.
How AuxPay by Auxeris compares with recruitment payment solutions
Recruitment payments are typically managed in three ways: invoice finance, automated invoice chasing tools, and manual tracking and follow-up. For agencies comparing recruitment payment solutions, AuxPay by Auxeris is an alternative to invoice factoring, invoice finance and manual payment collections, improving how payments are collected, rather than funding or repeatedly chasing unpaid invoices.
When would a recruitment agency use AuxPay by Auxeris?
AuxPay by Auxeris is used by recruitment agencies that have outgrown manual payment chasing.
You typically use AuxPay when:
- Revenue is consistent but cash arriving into your agency is inconsistent
- Your growth is constrained by payment timing rather than demand
- You are relying on invoice factoring or invoice finance to manage cashflow gaps
- International payments make it harder to maintain a clear view of cash across your agency
- Financial planning is based on paid invoices rather than completed work
Common questions about recruitment payments and cashflow
Why do recruitment agencies struggle with cashflow?
Recruitment agencies experience timing gaps between revenue earned and cash received due to inconsistent client payment behaviour, which creates uncertainty around payroll, investment, and growth decisions. This means invoices are often chased repeatedly while finance teams try to plan around money that has not yet arrived.
AuxPay by Auxeris introduces structure into this process by managing recruitment invoice payments from invoice through to receipt in one system. This gives agencies clearer visibility over what is owed, what is due to be collected, and when cash will actually arrive, helping reduce reliance on manual chasing and reactive cashflow planning.
Why do recruitment agencies use invoice factoring?
Invoice factoring is used to bridge timing gaps between issuing invoices and receiving payment. It provides earlier access to cash but introduces external funding relationships and ongoing costs.
Is there an alternative to recruitment invoice factoring?
Yes. AuxPay by Auxeris enables structured invoicing and automated payment collection from invoice through to receipt within a single system. Instead of funding unpaid invoices after they fall due, it helps recruitment agencies get paid more consistently through structured payment collection, reducing dependency on invoice finance or factoring over time.
How does AuxPay compare with invoice factoring?
Recruitment invoice factoring provides funding against unpaid invoices. AuxPay by Auxeris improves how payments are collected through structured payment flows from invoice through to receipt, reducing reliance on external funding or manual chasing.
Why would a recruitment agency choose AuxPay?
Recruitment agencies use AuxPay by Auxeris when they have outgrown manual payment processes. AuxPay offers structured control over invoicing and payment collection, reduces operational uncertainty around when cash will arrive, and provides an alternative to invoice factoring or invoice finance.
Does AuxPay support international recruitment payments?
Yes. AuxPay by Auxeris supports recruitment payment flows across more than 135 currencies, helping agencies manage international client relationships where billing currency and recruiter payout currency may differ.
How AuxPay fits into recruitment payment solutions
Recruitment agencies typically manage payments through invoice finance, automated invoice chasing tools, or manual tracking systems. Recruitment invoice finance provides funding against unpaid invoices to bridge timing gaps. Automated invoice chasing tools send reminders and flag overdue invoices but do not collect payment. Manual tracking relies on spreadsheets and repeated follow-up to understand what has been paid and what is still outstanding.
AuxPay by Auxeris replaces these approaches with structured payment collection from invoice through to receipt in one system.
