How does interim recruitment work?
We’re proud to champion the senior interim market across the finance industry. In recent years, we’ve seen more demand for day rate and fixed-term contracts and have everything in place to ensure this is a smooth process for clients and candidates.
Common reasons for needing an interim hire may include assistance with busy periods or special projects, sickness or maternity cover and specialist skill requirements for a short period of time. Many of our clients will also hire for a temporary period before making a permanent offer. The interim finance market is fast-paced and we can be reactive if you need to hire somebody quickly. We’ll also take care of all administrative responsibilities, such as:
- Candidate registration
- Eligibility requirements

How common are hybrid or fully remote finance jobs?
Hybrid is currently the most common type of role we recruit for, with many of our London-based clients requiring 1-2 days in the office. Full-time office roles still very much have a place within the industry and in our experience, fully-remote roles are not very common.
