Be in control of your career

Choosing to work on an interim basis confers some definite advantages. You’ll be your own boss with control over the contracts you accept.

Many people enjoy the freedom of choosing the locations, sectors and sizes of companies that they work in, although you’ll find it easier to secure roles if you maintain a good degree of flexibility. You can improve your life/work balance by finding opportunities to work from home or take a well deserved break between contracts.

Working as an interim can be very lucrative, earning higher rates of pay than your permanent counterparts. You’ll require confidence in your ability to win contracts and develop a strong track record as someone who can go into a business, tackle the challenges, and solve any problems. Ensure you highlight your areas of expertise in your CV and Applications as it will often be your specialism that clinches a contract for you.

Why now?

Recruiting interim staff is an effective way of sourcing flexible expertise and adjusting to changes in workload. Interim staff are often key to recruitment strategies because they can provide immediately required specialist technical or managerial skills to fill the gaps in the permanent staff’s knowledge.

During periods of economic uncertainty it is imperative that organisations reduce overheads and increase their bottom line. The cost of recruitment can be an area of focus which may lead organisations to favour interim solutions over recruiting for permanent positions.

During periods when it’s difficult to predict long term resource requirements, employers may become more hesitant to commit to permanent resources that may be surplus to requirements further down the line.
