Interim Recruiting: extra capacity for a set period

Sometimes you need recruiting capacity for a few months. We bring in a recruiter on demand who runs several open roles in your name, works inside your tools, and hands everything back cleanly when the period ends. You pay for the work on a time basis. You remain the employer and make every call yourself.

Interim Recruiting

When interim recruiting fits

Interim recruiting covers a clearly defined need: a recruiter on demand for a fixed period who adds extra capacity for as long as you need it.

Four typical situations. A gap in your recruiting team, when your recruiter moves on or is out for a stretch and hiring still needs to keep moving. Parental leave cover, when a permanent seat sits empty for a few months. Growth, when several roles open at once and you need more pace than your team can give right now. And a project or a new location with a contained need that runs a few weeks or months.

The common thread is a need for capacity over a finite stretch of time. A specialist role stays open for eight to sixteen weeks on average, longer for in-demand profiles. Interim gives you that capacity right away for the window, then winds down when the period ends.

What we take on

A typical case: several roles are open at the same time and your team is already at capacity. We bring in a recruiter on demand who runs these roles in parallel, working directly in your applicant tracking system, your inbox, and your channels, in your name. Externally, it is your company that appears, and applications land straight with you. The result: your open roles start moving while your team stays focused.

In practice, that means sharpening role profiles, writing and posting ads, screening incoming applications, holding and documenting first conversations, coordinating interviews with your team, and handling rejections with care. Each week you receive a report showing how many profiles sit in which stage, what comes next, and how many hours went in.

Because we learn your systems and stay inside them, the knowledge builds up with you. Process, pipeline, and contacts belong to you and stay with you, including after the period ends.

The model: on a time basis, cancellable at the period close

You pay on a time basis, either an hourly rate or a fixed weekly retainer for the agreed period. We set the exact price on the intro call. Beyond the agreed period there is no minimum term. When the period ends, so does the work, or you extend it as you need.

Costs follow the time invested, and so your actual need. A well-paid role costs you the same to recruit as any other, because billing tracks the work rather than the salary. If the market simply has no one who fits a profile right now, we will tell you so openly.

When several roles are open at once, one capacity covers every vacancy. A senior hire typically takes around 60 hours. That way you know up front what to plan for.

Where interim ends and how it fits in

You stay the employer. You make the call and the hire, and the contract is between you and the person. We run the recruiting process for you, in your company's name. The applications and all the data stay with you.

Here is how this service fits with the others. Full-Cycle RPO is the ongoing outsourcing of your process with no fixed end date. Interim is short-term capacity for a set period. If you only need the direct outreach, Active Sourcing is the right piece. If it is a single, hard-to-fill key role, specialist and executive search is built for that. Tell us how many roles are open and how long you need the capacity, and we will set the period.

To keep the process running well, a clear briefing and quick feedback from your team make all the difference. All candidate data stays with you. When the period ends, we hand over the pipeline and current status cleanly to your team.

Common questions.

How does interim recruiting differ from Full-Cycle RPO?
Interim is time-limited capacity for a clearly defined period, for example during vacancy cover, parental leave, growth, or a project. Full-Cycle RPO is the ongoing outsourcing of your recruiting process with no fixed end date. In both cases we work in your name, applications land with you, and you make the decisions.
How long does an interim period run, and can I end it?
For as long as you need it, typically a few weeks to a few months. We agree the period and scope up front. When the period ends, you stop or you extend. There is no minimum term beyond the period you agree.
How is it billed, and what does a recruiter on demand cost?
You pay by the hour, either as an hourly rate or a fixed weekly retainer for the agreed period. We set the exact price on our first call. When several roles are open, one capacity covers them all. A senior hire typically takes around 60 hours of work.
Who decides on the hire, and what happens to the applicant data?
You stay the employer and you decide. We run the process for you, in your company's name, and the employment contract is directly between you and the person. Applications come into your system, and all candidate data stays with you.
