Frequently asked questions for clients and agencies

Quick answers about posting assignments, matching, costs and privacy. For clients, agencies and MSPs.

Posting assignments

How do I post an interim assignment?

Create a free client account and post your assignment. It is published straight away and automatically matched with connected professionals based on field, job group and content.

What does posting assignments cost?

Nothing. Posting is free, with no limit on the number of assignments. There are no costs per response and Planet Interim charges no fee, commission or margin on a match.

Can agencies and MSPs post assignments too?

Yes. Agencies, intermediaries and MSPs post assignments in the same way as clients. You fill your shortlist faster with relevant professionals and keep the client relationship, the selection and the contracting yourself.

Your assignment is anonymous to visitors. Only logged-in, connected professionals see which party posted it: your agency, not your client. You decide what you say about your client. A description such as ‘international electronics group’ is fine.

Can you collect our assignments automatically?

Yes, with the Direct Sourcing Service. We collect your assignments automatically via API, RSS feed or your own website and match them with connected professionals. Responses arrive in your own process. The service is free of charge.

Matching and responses

How does matching work?

After publication your assignment is automatically matched with relevant profiles and appears in search results and notifications. Professionals respond with their profile, a motivation and a rate indication.

Who can respond?

Only logged-in, connected professionals. That gives you targeted responses from relevant candidates instead of untargeted bulk.

Can we also search and approach professionals ourselves?

Yes. Once logged in, you search the network yourself, follow professionals and build talent pools. You see their profile title and summary. Name, contact details and work experience stay hidden. You approach a professional based on that anonymous profile, and they decide whether to get in touch.

Why can’t we see all CVs and contact details straight away?

To protect the privacy of professionals, public profiles are shown without full contact details. When someone responds to your assignment, you receive the relevant profile information with their motivation and rate indication.

Where can we find market rates?

The rate benchmark tool gives a reference for market-based hourly rates per role. Under reach you can see which fields and job groups we cover.

Working together

Is Planet Interim a recruitment agency?

Planet Interim is an independent sourcing and matching platform. We do not broker and charge no fee or margin on a match. You contract through your own route: directly, or via an agency, broker or MSP.

What is the Direct Sourcing Service?

For organisations with recurring interim needs. Your assignments are collected, published and matched automatically, while responses keep running through your own process. Suitable for clients who want to source directly and for agencies and MSPs who want to fill their shortlist faster. Read more about the Direct Sourcing Service.

What is the Agency Deal?

For secondment and consultancy firms that want to keep their own professionals visible in the market. You manage their profiles from one company account and they are matched with relevant assignments. Read more about the Agency Deal.

Account and privacy

We have an account but cannot log in.

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

Who has access to candidate data?

Only logged-in clients and agencies, within the Planet Interim process. It stays traceable who contacts whom. That protects the privacy of professionals and the quality of the platform.

How to get better responses

  • Describe the intended result, the context and the duration of the assignment.
  • State the start date, hours per week and location or remote.
  • Give a rate indication or range. The rate benchmark tool can help.
  • Let professionals know within a few days where they stand.
