Frequently asked questions for interim professionals

Planet Interim is an independent sourcing and matching platform for interim managers, independent consultants and freelance specialists. Your profile is matched with relevant interim assignments from clients, agencies and MSPs. You decide which ones you respond to.

No. You agree your rate and terms directly with the party that posted the assignment. With premium you also pay no contribution when you are matched. Only as a basic member does a fixed contribution apply after a proven match through Planet Interim, see our business model.

Upload your CV in Word or PDF with the CV Import Tool. Your details are read automatically, after which you check and complete them. A CV without columns or tables works best.

Make sure your profile gives a clear picture of your experience, expertise, sectors and availability on its own. That is what clients and agencies assess you on.

The Rate Indicator helps you set a market-based hourly rate that suits you. Useful to support your minimum rate and positioning.

You can respond when you are logged in and have a premium membership. If it still doesn’t work, check that your profile is complete and up to date. Some assignments redirect you to the website of the party that posted them.

Premium starts from €25 per month: €150 per 6 months. Monthly is also possible, at €34 per month. Or choose Premium forever, a one-off €595 with no end date. All prices exclude VAT.

You respond directly to assignments, see who posted them, receive notifications earlier, are more visible and can pause your membership when you are temporarily unavailable. More on premium membership.

The 6-month and monthly plans renew automatically until you cancel. Cancel through your account no later than two days before the end date. Cancelling prevents the next renewal, but does not apply retroactively to a period that has already started. Unsubscribing from emails is not a cancellation. Premium forever does not renew, as it has no end date.

Yes. If you are temporarily unavailable, pause your premium membership through your account. Your remaining premium days are kept. You will find the on/off button at the top left, below your profile photo on your dashboard.

Yes. As a basic member your profile stays visible and you keep being matched, but you cannot respond to assignments. You can reactivate premium at any time.

After responding you get a confirmation on screen and/or by email. If the assignment is posted directly on Planet Interim, you can see its status in your dashboard under application status.

If the assignment runs through the poster’s own website, the follow-up happens there. For an update, contact that party directly.

Your public profile is visible without your name and contact details. Only logged-in clients and agencies can contact you within Planet Interim, and it stays traceable who does so. When you respond to an assignment, the poster receives your profile with your response.

Yes. Logged-in clients and agencies actively search the network, can follow you and approach you. They see your profile title and summary, not your name or contact details. You decide whether to respond to an approach. A strong profile title and summary increase your chances of being found.

This protects your privacy and prevents profiles from being scraped from the internet. Contact details, URLs and names outside the intended fields are therefore filtered out automatically.

Usually your preferences are too narrow or your profile lacks information we match on, such as field, job group or sectors. Broaden your notification settings and complete your profile. Sometimes demand in your field is temporarily lower.

Request a new password with the email address you registered with. If it still doesn’t work, clear your cookies or try another browser.

You do this yourself in My Account, via email and password or notifications.

You stop or pause your account yourself, with the on/off button at the top left, below your profile photo on your dashboard. This cannot be done by email: that way we know for sure that only you make that choice.
