How we work

Supporting Interim Managers

Where and when necessary, we offer support to our interim managers in the form of advice, based on our substantive purchasing experience (shadow management). As a customer you will notice little of this, it takes place behind the scenes.

We keep in close contact with you, the client, about the progress of the assignment. Should any issues arise, we are informed at an early stage and can help or intervene when adjustments can still be made.
If you wish, we will look with you, give advice and help you make the right choices.

ZZP/Freelance or Secondment

We propose both freelancers/ZZP and candidates we second for the duration of the assignment. For us it is important to find the candidate who fits the assignment well and stays within budget.

Our job is to select the right interim professional based on characteristics such as background, experience, skills, procurement knowledge, reputation and cost. You won’t notice substantively whether a candidate is seconded or working on a self-employed basis.

In geval van gedetacheerden kunnen vaak wel afspraken gemaakt worden over een eventuele overname van de kandidaat bij gebleken geschiktheid.

If you are considering hiring a procurement professional on a permanent basis and already have work for which you need temporary support, we can second a procurement professional to you for an initial period. By taking them on our payroll (i.e., seconding them to you), we offer you the flexibility you are looking for to make your decision, regarding filling the position on a permanent basis, as soon as you feel comfortable with it. It also gives you the opportunity to see if the seconded buyer in question is a good fit for your organization.

Project Procurement

Do you need a temporary procurement professional for a project? Extra capacity or specialist knowledge for e.g. the purchase and implementation of a complex application (e.g. ERP, WMS, PLM), for the supervision of a large tender (e.g. tendering for a European tender), for an NPI project or for the purchase and construction of a large investment (building, production line, relocation), then we will provide the right expertise in the form of the interim procurement professional who will support you in this.
