FAQs about Interim Recruitment

Contract recruitment is typically centred around bringing in specialist expertise for a defined project, piece of work, or fixed-term requirement. Contractors are usually hands-on experts hired to deliver outcomes quickly and efficiently.

Interim recruitment is slightly different. It focuses on placing experienced leaders and senior professionals into temporary roles where strategic direction, transformation, or stability is needed. Interims are often trusted to guide businesses through periods of change, growth, or transition.

Put simply: contractors are brought in to deliver the work, while interims are brought in to lead through it.

IR35 is about ensuring contractors are engaged compliantly and correctly. Getting it wrong can create financial, legal, and reputational risk for businesses.

At Henderson Brown, we understand that IR35 is more than a compliance exercise — it’s about protecting your business while maintaining access to high-quality interim talent.

We work closely with trusted IR35 specialists to provide clear role assessments, compliant contract structures, and ongoing guidance throughout the lifecycle of a project, giving our clients confidence that their contractor model is both flexible and commercially secure.

Interim staff give businesses the speed, flexibility and specialist expertise needed to keep operations moving. With experienced professionals often available within days, they help maintain productivity, reduce pressure on existing teams and prevent costly project delays while permanent recruitment is underway. For many businesses, interim hiring is a strategic way to add capability quickly without the long-term commitment of a permanent hire.

This will ultimately depend on how quickly the client moves, however our process is very efficient once the ball is rolling. Initially we take the job brief and complete an IR35 status determination with the client which can take up to 45 minutes. From there we typically arrange interviews within 24-48 hours. Once the preferred candidate is selected, we collect payment information and confirm a start date.

If the client is responsive throughout, the entire process can move from brief to confirmed start date within as little as 48 hours.
