How we work

SUPPORT OF 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 not notice this, as it takes place behind the scenes.

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

ZZP/FREELANCE OR SECONDMENT

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

It is up to us to select the right interim professional based on characteristics such as background, experience, skills, purchasing knowledge, reputation and costs. You will not notice whether a candidate is seconded or working on a self-employed basis.

In the case of secondees, however, agreements can often be made about a possible takeover of the candidate if he or she proves suitable.

If you are considering hiring a purchasing professional on a permanent basis and already have work for which you need temporary support, we can second a purchasing professional to you for an initial period. By putting 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.
