Fractional Recruitment vs Interim Recruitment
Fractional recruitment and interim recruitment are both strategies used to fill temporary or part-time positions within a company, but they have some key differences. Here’s a comparison of fractional recruitment and interim recruitment:
Fractional Recruitment:
1. Part-time employment: Fractional recruitment involves hiring part-time employees to fill specific roles within a company.
2. Flexible hours: Fractional employees work for a predetermined number of hours per week or month, providing flexibility for both the employee and the employer.
3. Specialised expertise: Fractional employees often have specialised skills and expertise relevant to their specific roles, allowing companies to access specialised talent without the commitment of a full-time hire.
4. Cost-effective: Fractional recruitment can be more cost-effective than hiring full-time employees, as companies only pay for the hours worked by fractional employees.
5. Long-term relationship: Fractional employees may work with the company on an ongoing basis, providing continuity and consistency in their roles.
Interim Recruitment:
1. Temporary employment: Interim recruitment involves hiring temporary employees to fill specific roles within a company for a fixed period of time.
2. Full-time or part-time employment: Interim employees may work full-time or part-time, depending on the needs of the company and the nature of the role.
3. Fixed-term contracts: Interim employees are typically hired on fixed-term contracts, which may range from a few weeks to several months.
4. Generalist or specialist: Interim employees may have either generalist or specialist skills, depending on the nature of the role and the requirements of the company.
5. Cost-effective: Interim recruitment can be more cost-effective than hiring full-time employees for short-term projects or to cover temporary absences.
In summary, while both fractional recruitment and interim recruitment offer flexibility and cost-effectiveness for companies, fractional recruitment involves hiring part-time employees for ongoing roles, while interim recruitment involves hiring temporary employees for fixed-term contracts. The choice between the two will depend on the specific needs of the company and the nature of the role to be filled.
