When candidates respond to your posted assignment, you receive their full CV with motivation and rate indication.
6. Is Planet Interim a staffing agency, and do I pay a fee if there’s a match?
No. Planet Interim is not a staffing agency, but an independent interim platform aiming to create more transparency, lower hiring costs and reduce lead time. We are fully independent and not tied to any agency, interest group, bank or insurer.
We support the match between supply and demand through technology (collection, categorisation, publication, matching) and reach. Posting assignments is free (up to 5 per month), and we charge no margin or commission to hiring organisations in case of a successful match.

You can always post assignments manually and for free. Additionally, all assignments are enhanced with advanced auction technology: interim professionals see the highest, lowest, average and most common hourly rate submitted so far. This allows them to make informed decisions to bid or not. The transparency saves time for both professionals and hiring organisations and supports a fair, competitive market rate.

9. How do I post an interim assignment or vacancy on Planet Interim?
Posting an interim assignment or vacancy is simple. Create a client account and post your assignments for free. Assignments are published immediately and matched with relevant interim professionals, interim managers and consultants who receive instant notifications.
10. How does the matching with interim professionals and managers work?
Once published, your assignment is automatically matched by our platform based on factors like region, expertise and job category. You receive applications including CV, motivation and rate indication. Assignments are made visible via search, email alerts, and to thousands of registered users, and also published via our fast-growing social media channels with over 40,000 followers. This allows hiring organisations to quickly find and contract the best interim managers, directors and consultants, without paying us a fee.
11. What is the Recruiter Deal and the Talent Provider Deal?
For recruitment agencies, there is the Recruiter Deal: we automatically process and publish your assignments, match them with professionals and deliver responses directly into your workflow. For organisations that deploy interim professionals from their own talent pool (like secondment firms or consulting providers), there is the unique Talent Provider Deal, which makes your own professionals more visible and matchable with suitable assignments. Both deals save time and boost visibility of your assignments and professionals.
12. What does it cost for hiring organisations to use Planet Interim?
Manual posting of assignments is entirely free for hiring organisations. There are no costs per application, no placement fees and no commission on a successful match. Planet Interim only charges professionals for premium memberships and organisations for partnerships such as the Recruiter Deal or Talent Provider Deal. As a result, Planet Interim is an independent, transparent and highly efficient platform where you can quickly and cost-effectively find and hire interim professionals and managers. You can still use your own broker, MSP or contract directly. Planet Interim never positions itself in the contractual chain.
