What are the benefits of hiring an HR advisor?

Your HR doesn't stand still

Our HR advisors work independently and know their way around a scale-up environment. They pick up where they left off, and HR continues to run smoothly, without you having to spend time explaining or onboarding.

Recognizes your situation

We recognize the patterns: the cultural pressure, the salary challenges, onboarding that no longer scales. You notice that from day one.

Objective perspective

What has become invisible internally is immediately visible to someone from the outside. This yields fairer insights into performance, compensation, or team dynamics.

You remain in control

You decide how long and how many days per week. Temporary is temporary. And if you want to switch to permanent HR support afterwards? We'll arrange that.

What does hiring an HR advisor through VIE People involve?

Hiring an HR advisor through VIE People means adding an experienced HR professional to your organisation, temporarily or on a structural basis. You get someone who advises on concrete issues and thinks along on execution from day one.

Our advisors work independently and pick things up right away. They ask the questions that matter and know exactly what your growth stage needs, through the Scale-up Journey model. That knowledge doesn't need to be built up, they bring it with them.

They're never on their own either. 40+ HR consultants think along and provide input where needed, including HR Tech specialists. You keep one trusted point of contact.

Because our advisors are on VIE People's payroll, you automatically comply with the Dutch DBA law. We agree together on the scope and duration of the assignment, based on what your organisation needs.

When do you hire an HR advisor?

Do you recognize any of the following situations? Then hiring an HR advisor through VIE People is probably exactly what you need.

Your HR advisor is temporarily away

Illness, maternity leave, or a sudden departure. HR does not stop just because the permanent staff member is absent. An interim HR advisor takes over the duties and ensures that nothing is left undone.

Your HR cannot keep up with the growth

New employees, new structures, new challenges regarding compensation and culture. You need someone to take it on now.

You are facing a complex HR issue

Rising absenteeism, a labor dispute, or a reorganization. These types of situations call for someone with the right experience who can switch gears quickly.

You want to make HR more professional

You know thatHR betteryou need to, but you don't have the capacity to take it on yourself. An HR advisor brings structure and lays the foundation for further growth.

You are looking for a successor but do not want to leave a gap

You are looking for a permanent HR professional, but recruitment takes time. An interim HR advisor bridges that period.

You are considering structural HR support

Hiring an HR advisor is also a way to discover what VIE People can do for your organization, without immediately committing to a long-term process.

Frequently asked questions about interim HR

What is the difference between an interim HR manager and a fractional HR professional?

An interim HR manager is temporarily available for a specific situation or period, such as maternity leave cover, a reorganization, or a rapid growth phase. A fractional HR professional is a structural part of your organization, working a fixed number of days per week. Interim is finite and situation-specific. Fractional is ongoing and long-term oriented.

How quickly can an interim HR professional start?

That varies by situation, but expect 2 to 3 weeks. In some cases, it takes a little longer, up to 1.5 months. We always aim to make the right match as quickly as possible.

How much does interim HR cost through VIE People?

The cost depends on the professional's experience level and the duration of the assignment. Longer commitments qualify for a more competitive rate. Contact us for a personalized estimate tailored to your situation.

What if it doesn't click with the People Partner?

We'll resolve that. We'll discuss what's not working and, if needed, switch to a more suitable profile. You're not committed.

Which organizations is interim HR suitable for?

VIE People works with scale-ups ranging from 25 to 500 FTE. Interim HR is particularly suitable when your organization is too large to continue managing HR on an ad-hoc basis, but not yet ready for a full-time HR department. It's also ideal if you temporarily need extra capacity or specific expertise.

How does interim HR through VIE People differ from a secondment agency?

Our HR professionals are on VIE People's payroll. This means you automatically comply with the DBA Act and avoid the risk of false self-employment. While a secondment agency provides capacity, we deliver experience tailored to your growth stage. Our professionals understand the dynamics of scale-ups and work independently. They don't wait around; they take initiative.

What is the DBA Act and why is it relevant for interim HR?

The DBA Act (Deregulation of Assessment of Employment Relationships) regulates when someone can work as a self-employed person and when an employment relationship exists. If you hire a freelancer who actually functions as an employee, as a client, you run the risk of fines and additional tax assessments. Because our professionals are on VIE People's payroll, you won't have to worry about that. You are fully compliant, without having to give it a second thought.

How do I ensure the interim professional gets up to speed quickly?

We'll arrange that together during our initial meeting. We'll identify in advance what's happening, what the priorities are, and what the professional needs to get started immediately. You won't have to spend weeks on explanations.

What happens after the interim project?

That varies by organization. Some clients transition to ongoing HR support through the VIE HR model after an interim project. For others, the interim project is sufficient. We always work together to determine the logical next step, without any pressure.

Let's meet!

We look forward to hearing your story. Where are you now? What are you up against? In an informal conversation of 30 minutes, we will see together what we can do for you.
