5. Why can’t clients view full CVs?
To safeguard privacy and quality, only seriously interested clients can contact interim professionals. It is always traceable who contacts whom. Full contact details are therefore not publicly visible on the web.
In search results we show a profile summary. You can filter by sector experience, discipline/job family, work experience, education and recommendation scores, among others.
When candidates respond to a posted assignment you receive the full CV with motivation and rate indication.
6. Is Planet Interim an agency and do we owe a fee if there’s a match?
No. Planet Interim is not an agency but an independent interim platform aimed at increasing market transparency, reducing hiring costs and shortening time-to-hire. We are fully independent and not affiliated with a staffing/intermediary firm, trade body, bank or insurer.
We facilitate matching supply and demand through technology (inventory, coding, publication, matching) and reach. You can post assignments for free (up to 5 per month) and when there’s a match we do not charge clients any margin or commission via Planet Interim.
7. Who has access to stored candidate data?
Only logged-in and seriously interested clients can send a contact request to an interim professional. It remains traceable who contacts whom. Interim profiles with full contact details are not publicly accessible on our site.

This helps candidates bid more deliberately or decide not to participate. The transparency saves time for both professionals and clients and supports a fair yet competitive, market-conform rate.
