Time to find a new interim assignment?
We have a wide range of clients and specialize in matching interim assignments with the right competence. With our long experience as interim recruiters, we know how to match competence and assignments with high accuracy.
We assess your profile as an interim manager manager and have a well-designed process to ensure that the competence and experience are at an appropriate level for the positions we fill. During the assignment, we will be with you and support you to ensure that the cooperation with the client is fruitful for all parties involved.
We work with both large and small customers. In most sectors.
The market for interim management
The most common reason for a client to choose an interim solution is to cover a managerial role during a recruitment process. There is often a gap between when someone leaves the company and when a successor is recruited and in place.
Other common reasons include urgently finding a replacement for extended sick leave and bringing in a temporary manager during structural and organizational changes. Our recruitment process, from inquiry to contract with the client, takes about two weeks. From the client’s decision on the candidate to the start of the assignment is usually only a few days. Due to these fast-paced processes, your availability is crucial for being considered for a specific assignment.
The most common interim assignments on the market are in finance, followed by assignments in HR. Companies have fewer opportunities to find internal solutions for these roles and the assignments usually do not require specific industry experience. Interim assignments that are closely linked to the core business are narrower and typically have requirements similar to those for recruiting for permanent positions.
As a candidate, you are most competitive in roles that you have solid experience in over the past 10 years.
This is what our process looks like
Inquiry
The customer describes the assignment and the desired profile. We ensure a common understanding of the assignment and profile.
Search
We search both within and outside our consultant network to find the best candidates.
Quality assurance
We interview interesting candidates and present a few quality-assured profiles to the client.
Customer interviews
The client interviews interesting candidates and selects the final candidate. Reference checking.
Agreements
The customer and Brightmill sign a contract. Brightmill and the consultant sign a contract.
Evaluation
During the assignment, we follow up to ensure that both the client and the consultant are satisfied.
Type of assignment and fees
We have no permanently employed consultants. Instead, we have a network of qualified candidates who are engaged as sub-contractors through their own companies or with fixed-term employments.
Interim assignments are demanding. As a consultant, you enter a new business where you are expected to build trust and deliver results in a short time. Assignments are on average 6 months long.
Brightmill is always the contracting party with the client. We believe in transparency and have an open dialogue about costs and compensation between all parties in an assignment. We disclose the consultancy fee towards the client. This varies depending on the specific role, the length of the assignment and the profile of the consultant. Brightmill’s remuneration is a commission on the consultancy fee.
