As well as permanent retained searches, we regularly support organisations with sourcing communications, marketing, digital, and change professions on an interim and contract basis.
Hiring an interim offers your organisation the opportunity to benefit from highly qualified professionals on a flexible basis.
Typical scenarios where you may benefit from hiring an interim include:
Interims are also especially useful for business-wide change programmes, including:
We manage an extensive network of accomplished interim talent across the communications, marketing, digital, and change functions who are ready to step in at short notice.
Whether you require a change communications specialist to guide employees through a transformation project, or a fractional CMO to drive your marketing strategy, our network has been built over nearly 50 years meaning we can quickly connect you with trusted professionals who deliver immediate impact.
The recruitment process for hiring an interim or contractor is much quicker than that for permanent roles and is generally one, or at most, two stages.
01
All our searches begin with an in-depth briefing discussion with you. Getting a complete understanding of your requirements allows us to define the basis of our search strategy and conduct a more targeted search.
02
We proactively scope and map the market for professionals who meet the criteria of the position. Having such a long-standing network that we know so well means we can pinpoint and target all individuals, many of whom are likely to be receptive to us.

These professionals will be screened via telephone interview, assessing their level of interest and suitability for the role. Those who pass this initial interview will be interviewed face-to-face.
05
Following the completion of our interviews, we produce and present a graded shortlist of professionals to you, from which interviews can be arranged.
06
We manage all candidate relationships through the process, ensuring offer negotiations are concluded in a positive, timely and professional manner. When appropriate, reference checks will be made, including character references from known contacts.
While contractors tend to be part of your company payroll and paid an annual or pro-rated salary, interim professionals are paid by a day-rate. We have lots more information on our website about the logistics of paying an interim, or you can use our handy Day Rate Calculator to work out a suitable day-rate.
