Why Interim Staff

There are many reasons why companies turn to us for Interim Staff to continue and grow their business. To name a few:
  • Different skills needed at different moments in time during the Sales cycle
  • Sounding board for a specific topic
  • Someone has left the company temporarily or permanently
  • A project needs more staff quickly, hiring people takes too much time
  • Tight labor market, difficult to find the right person
  • Worldwide challenging times: stay flexible, competitive and scalable

Sales cycle skills
During the Sales cycle you need different people in terms of skills and seniority, this means not 1 person can do all Sales related activities. By leveraging Interim Staff, you become more flexible and have the ability to scale up and down when needed without having staff on your payroll and no work for them.

Sounding board
From time to time, it is good to consult external experts. Someone who can share insights and experiences from other companies, countries and cultures with you. If there is a topic you are not familiar with, it can come in handy to hire one or more people on an interim basis. For example:
  • Review of quotations and presentations
  • Development of business models
  • Portfolio development
  • (Re)structuring of Sales processes
  • Participation in Advisory or Supervisory Board
  • Subject Matter Expertise on Public Safety & Security or High-Tech

Upscale projects
When a project unexpectedly needs more staff or when you know in advance that (several times per year) you need more resources, Interim Staff is easy to scale up and down quickly. Keeping you flexible and in control of costs at all times. When you work with Interim Staff on a regular basis, the people (after the first time) know what to do and can continue where they have left of during the previous collaboration.

Temporary or permanent vacancy?

When you know in advance that an employee will leave the company on a temporary or permanent basis, you have some time to decide how you want to solve this resourcing challenge. This is the case with for example a sabbatical or maternity/parental leave. If you are not able to bridge the resource gap internally, leveraging Interim Staff is a great option to keep a smooth continuity of your operations.

But what if someone gets ill? At first you might be able to solve the absence internally, but when it becomes clear the absence will be long term or even permanently, you need to find a suitable solution quickly. Going through the HR-process of finding a new person for the job often takes too much time when the business keeps going, whereas leveraging Interim Staff enables you to fill the position much faster without any downtime.

Tight labor markets
Since doing business in Europe is all about relationship and trust, you are not able to automate the entire Sales process. You need actual people to meet with clients face to face. In IT there are many skilled people to choose from worldwide and they often can work remotely, however Sales is a different thing. You need to have the Sales person or team living closely at the client’s location, they need to speak their language both in speech and business and the Sales needs to have the right Sales skills at the right moment. With the current tight labor market, it is often difficult to find the right people quickly. With Interim Staff you keep your business flexible and scalable at all times.

Rapidly changing world
More than ever the world is changing. What is business as usual today can be completely different tomorrow. Growing your business successfully means staying flexible, competitive and the ability to scale up and down when you need to. Having a team of Salespeople on the payroll is not always the best choice for a company. Leveraging Interim Staff is an ideal way to keep the continuity of your company and keeps your business growing in challenging times.
