What benefits does an interim HR professional bring you?

Your HR doesn't stand still

Our people work independently and know their way around a scale-up environment. They hit the ground running and HR keeps moving smoothly, without you having to spend time explaining or onboarding.

Recognizes your situation

Our interim HR professionals have seen dozens of scale-ups from the inside. They recognize the patterns: the culture pressure, the salary challenges, onboarding that no longer scales. You notice that from day one.

No blind spots

A fresh perspective from the outside reveals what has become invisible internally. This leads to more honest conversations about performance, compensation, or team dynamics. Honest conversations lead to better decisions.

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 interim HR via VIE People entail?

Interim HR is temporary support from an HR professional at VIE People for a defined period or a specific task. You get an experienced interim HR manager, advisor, or consultant who knows what is involved in a growing organization.

Our People Partners get started quickly and take immediate action. They work independently, ask the questions that matter, and know how to use the Scale-up Journey model. Exactly what your growth phase requires. We don't need to build that knowledge; they bring it with them.

They never do that alone either. 40+ HR consultants provide input and brainstorm where necessary, including specialists in HR Tech. You keep one trusted point of contact.

Because our professionals are on VIE People's payroll, you are automatically compliant with the Dutch DBA Act (Wet DBA). We determine the content and duration of the process together, based on what your organization needs.

When do you hire an interim HR manager?

Do you recognize any of the following situations? Then an interim HR professional is probably exactly what you need.

Your HR manager is temporarily away

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

You temporarily need extra HR capacity

A major reorganization, a rapid growth phase, or a project that demands more than your current team can handle. An interim HR professional steps in where needed and leaves when the job is done.

Your HR cannot keep up with the growth

Growth is rapid at scale-ups. New employees, new structures, new challenges regarding compensation and culture. Your current HR capacity falls short, but a permanent position is not yet on the table.

You are facing a complex HR challenge

A reorganization, a merger, a culture change, or a salary review. These types of processes require specific expertise that you do not have internally. An interim HR advisor brings that expertise.

You want to know where your HR really stands

Sometimes it is wise to conduct an HR analysis first. What works, what doesn't, and where are the risks? An interim professional can perform that analysis and take immediate action based on the results.

You are considering structural HR support

Interim HR is also a way to discover what VIE People can do for your organization, without immediately committing to a long-term commitment.

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.
