Request See how it works

We only work with organisations where there is a clear commercial and technical fit for a sustainable setup.

Why organisations choose this

The goal is not more volume, but more control over reach, quality and process. The Direct Sourcing Service is built for organisations that want to source more directly and more efficiently without replacing the way they already work.

Selective

More visibility among relevant interim professionals without building extra sourcing infrastructure.
Direct contact with candidates, whether you are a client, agency or MSP.
Full control over selection, communication and contracting within your own process.
Built for organisations that value quality more than bulk responses.
Shared anonymously and only logged-in member professionals respond, so you get targeted responses from relevant candidates.

Who it is for

Two routes, one connection

Clients

Reach relevant interim professionals directly, alongside your existing suppliers. Responses arrive in your own workflow.

Agencies and MSPs

Find strong candidates for your shortlist faster. You keep the client relationship, the selection and the contracting.

How the Direct Sourcing Service works

Planet Interim connects to your existing process. Assignments are collected automatically, published and matched, while responses continue to flow through your own workflow.

Assignment is published

You publish an interim assignment on your own website or within your existing recruitment environment.

Automatic processing

Planet Interim retrieves the assignment automatically through an API, RSS feed or web scraping.

Matching with professionals

The assignment is published anonymously and matched with relevant interim managers, consultants and specialists.

Responses through your workflow

Only logged-in member professionals respond, directly through your application links. No untargeted flood of unsuitable candidates.

Anonymous and closed. The assignment is shared anonymously and only logged-in member professionals can respond. That gives you targeted responses from relevant candidates, instead of an untargeted stream of unsuitable applications.

Why direct sourcing

Because you want to combine reach and speed with more control over quality, process and cost.
