Was ist Interim HR? Interim HR bezieht sich auf temporäre/kurzfristige und zeitlich befristete Dienstleistungen im Bereich Human Resources (HR), die von Senior HR Professionals erbracht werden. Diese Fachkräfte werden aus verschiedenen Gründen befristet eingestellt, zum Beispiel um Mutterschaftsvertretungen zu übernehmen, spezifische HR-Projekte und -Initiativen zu managen, Abwesenheiten von Mitarbeitenden zu überbrücken, spezifische HR-Herausforderungen zu bewältigen oder in Übergangsphasen wie Fusionen oder Umstrukturierungen Fachwissen bereitzustellen.

Do I need to be registered as self-employed to work as an interim?

No, you can easily work via an Umbrella Company or PAYE. This is low-effort and doesn’t require any upfront initial costs.

Do I need my own insurance to work interim roles?

Yes, if you work via a Ltd company then you’ll need to provide certain insurances. The minimum requirements would typically be Professional Indemnity and Employers Liability insurance.

How long do most people stay in an interim role?

Most of our mid-senior interim assignments last for 6-12 months, however we also place candidates into short term contracts to cover long-term sick or a period of increased workload across the team. Market uncertainty means there tends to be more temp to perm opportunities and increases the likelihood of contract roles being extended.

Are interim roles a good way to find work if I relocate?

Yes, generally an interim role is a great way to relocate as the interview process tends be to quicker and it’s a great way to experience a new organisation and market without the commitment of a permanent role. You can also upskill and build knowledge quickly on the interim market so it’s a great way to enhance your career and make the most of your time in a new location.

How do I work out my day rate as an interim professional?

Your day rate as a contractor can vary depending on a number of factors.
Firstly, supply and demand in the market does have an impact and we can experience surges and decreases in rates for certain skill sets depending on the time of year, timeframes and general market conditions. If there is a particularly sought after skill set and the candidate market is small (and tightening), businesses are typically willing to pay more to secure the right contractor. Additionally, if a client requires a quick turn around and needs someone to start as soon as possible then this can push the day rate up. Annual cyclical processes such as. salary reviews and year end for interim reward professionals can also dictate the price point for quality interims.
To work out your rough market rate, most contractors simply divide their total compensation (including benefits) by 260 working days a year. However, this doesn’t take into about holiday entitlement and any one-off bonus, LTIPs etc. so we would always advise speaking to an experienced interim recruiter to give you their insights on where to pitch yourself in the market. Speak to a member of the interim team if you need additional information.

Will working an interim role hurt my career?

No. Working in an interim position can have many benefits, such as working in different sized companies and industries gaining you knowledge and exposure in a variety of sectors, networking opportunities, a quick pathway in career progression, flexibility and autonomy and a chance to enhance your skillset through diverse experiences You will get the opportunity make an impact in a shorter space of time, which in some cases can lead to great opportunities or even a permanent role.

Would a permanent position be better?

There isn’t really a definitive answer as this all depends on the person. A permanent role may suit some, and not others. Many enjoy the flexibility that an interim role offers, especially when thinking about life outside of work, but one thing that is great to know is that you can always try an interim role, and step back into a permanent if it isn’t quite the right fit for you.

Is it easy to obtain references to move to a permanent HR role?

Yes, our team can help support. But by working in interim positions, you will be able to have references from a wider selection of companies, sectors and seniority levels – meaning you can have more specific orientated references when applying for your next role.

Does it matter if I’ve never worked in an interim role?

No. If you’ve been working in permanent roles, you’ll likely have a lot of great technical and people skills that will be directly transferrable to being hired for an interim position.

How many hours/weeks per year would I be expected to work

No. If you’ve been working in permanent roles, you’ll likely have a lot of great technical and people skills that will be directly transferrable to being hired for an interim position.
