Make sure you have the right people to drive your business forward.

The corporate landscape is constantly changing, requiring exceptional flexibility and the ability to adapt. Companies are now looking towards agile workforce models to prosper. 

A blend of permanent staff with interim and contract workers enables businesses to refine their processes, reduce risks, and capitalise on emerging opportunities. 

And given the often short timeframes when hiring for these roles and the specialised skills required, it's crucial that you work with consultants that already understand and have connections in your industry, so that no time is wasted.

Our specialist recruiters each boast in-depth knowledge of their sector, enabling us to provide you with the high-calibre contract employees that you need – when you need them.

Contract, interim or fractional? 

There are three common types of flexible workforce arrangements – Contract, Interim, and Fractional – each serve distinct purposes and cater to different needs.

Here's a breakdown of how they differ:

Contract: Contractors are employed for specific projects demanding specialised expertise, or to address temporary surges in workload, such as during a product launch or to backfill a position.

They offer businesses flexibility and cost-effectiveness by enabling businesses to scale their workforce as needed, without the long-term commitments associated with full-time employees.

Interim:  High-level, senior professionals are typically brought in to fill critical leadership or specialised roles for a defined period - often during periods of transition or when a key executive position becomes vacant unexpectedly.

They provide immediate leadership and stability, ensuring business operations continue smoothly during transitions.

Fractional:  Professionals provide high-level expertise, usually in executive or specialised roles, on a fractional basis (a few hours or days per week). These roles are ongoing, but part-time, allowing for flexibility in scheduling and involvement.

They provide access to experienced professionals who can drive strategy and growth, without the cost and commitment of a full-time executive.
