Frequently asked questions

What is the added value of Planet Interim for clients?

Planet Interim helps clients and intermediaries get into contact with relevant interim managers, independent specialists and consultants more quickly and more directly. You can post assignments free of charge, match on content and keep full control over selection, communication and contracting.

You can find more context via clients.

Is Planet Interim an intermediary and do we pay a fee or commission when there is a match?

No. Planet Interim is not an intermediary and does not take a place in the chain. Clients do not pay any margin or commission when there is a match via Planet Interim. Hiring can continue through your own contracts, broker, MSP or another existing route.

How do I post an interim assignment on Planet Interim?

Create a client account and post your assignment manually right away. New assignments become visible immediately and are automatically matched with relevant interim professionals based on content, sector, function group and, where relevant, other preferences.

Go directly to create a client account.

How does matching with interim professionals and interim managers work?

After publication, assignments are automatically matched with relevant profiles. Professionals can respond with their profile, motivation and rate indication. In addition, assignments become visible through search results, notifications and additional distribution channels.

Can assignments also be collected automatically from our own website?

Yes. For organisations with multiple assignments and a structural need, Planet Interim can collect assignments automatically via, for example, a feed, scraping or another suitable integration. This falls under the Direct Sourcing Service, where your own process can remain fully intact.

You can find more information via the Direct Sourcing Service.

Why can we not simply see all full CVs and contact details?

Planet Interim protects professionals' privacy and safeguards the quality of contact. That is why profiles are publicly visible without full contact details. When there is a targeted response to an assignment, you do receive the relevant profile information, including motivation and rate indication.

Where can we find information about rates and specialist domains?

Through Planet Interim you can review the reach of specialist domains and function groups and use the benchmark rate tool as a reference for market based hourly rates per role or type of assignment.

View reach and the benchmark rate tool.

What does using Planet Interim cost for clients?

Posting assignments manually is free of charge. There are no costs per response and no commission when there is a match. Only additional collaborations, such as structural integrations or specific partnership models, may involve a separate commercial arrangement.

What exactly is the Direct Sourcing Service?

The Direct Sourcing Service is intended for organisations with multiple assignments that want to keep their existing process intact, while Planet Interim supports publication, matching and additional visibility. Responses can continue to flow through the organisation's existing process.

We already have an account. Why can we not log in?

In most cases this is caused by incorrect login details, old browser data or using a different email address than the one used when the account was created. Check your details carefully, request a new password if needed and clear cookies or temporary browser files if necessary.

Forgotten your password? Go to request a new password.

Who has access to candidate data?

Only logged in and serious clients or intermediaries have targeted access to candidates within the Planet Interim process. It remains traceable who is trying to contact whom, which supports both privacy and platform quality.

Continue quickly?

If you want to get started right away, create an account and post your assignment. If you have multiple assignments or want to keep your existing process fully intact, also review the Direct Sourcing Service.
