Digital & direct
What you need no one for.
We deliver top profiles. You decide the rest – directly with the interim manager.
- Coordinate appointmentsYou can do that
- Decide in the interviewYou can do that
- Sign the contractYou can do that
- Settle the monthly invoiceYou can do that
You pay no markup for it. You only pay for what you cannot do yourself: the network and the matching.
Quality promise
Always 4 available candidates.
As a rule, the first profiles arrive within 24 hours. If a candidate is no longer available, you receive a new profile free of charge within 14 days of your project request. So you always choose from 4 available profiles.
After that your refresh pool applies; extra refreshes are charged at your plan’s price.
From profile to conversation
Contact only after the final check.
You first see the top profile with match %. If you wish, you can request the full profile. When you want to get in touch, we ask the candidate first.
- Normalised profile with match %, focus areas and day-rate range.
- If you wish: the complete CV. Contact details follow after the final check.
- The candidate confirms availability, interest in the project, willingness to talk and that your day rate is within their range.
- Only then do we release the contact details.
After the final check you choose:
- You propose slots; after the final check we send them straight to the candidate. Once they accept, you receive their contact details.Recommended
- You receive the contact details after the final check and arrange the conversation yourself.
Either way: contact details only after the final check – availability, interest and day rate within range.
To be fair
When the classic model fits.
If you want to hand over appointments, interviews, contract and invoicing entirely, an agency is the right choice. If you can do that yourself, with 1Interim you only pay for the network and the matching.
