What is Interim Recruiting?
Interim recruiting means supporting a company directly on site for a certain period of time either by taking over recruiting completely or by supplementing the existing HR team.
What is an interim recruiter?
As an interim recruiter, our employees support your team on-site or remotely and support you and the team over a longer period of time. In addition to sourcing candidates, the entire pipeline can be managed – all the way to hiring. Furthermore, we advise the team with our expertise from the market. Contact us if you have any questions.
Our employees receive dedicated training and accompanying “on-the-job” training on topics such as direct search/active sourcing, interviewing, Qrganization and project management. This, together with uniform, long-established recruiting processes, enables us to ensure consistent recruiting quality.
How does an interim recruiter support your recruiting team?
With external recruiters, you often encounter problems such as long response times and a lack of transparency. Our interim recruiters, on the other hand, are directly on site and fully committed to supporting you in your daily HR work. They are always available to assist with recruitment issues. In close coordination with your own team, they will help create job specifications for the jobs to be filled. HR interim recruiters therefore start at the very beginning of the process in order to be able to find a quick and optimal solution for you.
With their experience and specialized expertise, they assist in writing job advertisements, then search for suitable candidates via various channels, such as job boards, social media or other selected media, and make a qualified pre-selection.
This way, you can focus only on the most promising candidates and can use the time saved directly for further HR measures.
You will be guided by our interim recruiters through the entire candidate selection process, supported during contract interviews and compensation negotiations. Here you can rely on the accumulated experience from numerous customer projects.
But before it even gets to a setting, a whole lot is already going on in the background. In addition to the obvious tasks of personnel acquisition, our interim recruiters also support you with measures such as developing guidelines for an optimal HR process, analyzing the personnel market in various industries and much more. The goal is to establish a holistic recruiting process that will help your company achieve better personnel management in the long term.
What are the advantages of interim recruiting?
The direct contact of our interim recruiters to your HR management makes it much easier to tailor your recruiting measures and job offers exactly to the requirements of your company. Whether you are looking for qualified career starters, specialists in a specific industry or even a candidate for the executive level, with the input of an interim recruiter, you are guaranteed quick success with your human resources measures. In this way, your team can be supplemented with suitable and experienced candidates in the shortest possible time.
Our services in the area of interim recruiting include more than just addressing potential candidates via platforms such as Xing or LinkedIn. Instead, we get to know your business intimately, get a feel for the skills you need, and – just as important – the mood of your employees. This way, we can approach candidates together who will complement your team well in every way. This way, not only your candidate’s resume and previous career fit your company, but also their personality.
Interim recruiters also have the advantage of being able to be directly involved in your recruitment team and, thanks to their presence in your company, are always available – and, as with a freelancer, only for exactly as long as you need them. This means maximum flexibility for you and your project management.
Considering the gain in knowledge from the field of recruiting management, an interim recruiter is even a quite favorable alternative to the otherwise usual headhunters. This is because they are paid once a candidate has been successfully recruited, whereas an interim HR manager is charged per hour, but can take care of several vacancies at the same time.
So, you can freely have a qualified worker for your HR team on as many days a week as you like, carefully trained by us and educated in key disciplines such as communications, active sourcing, branding and much more. This is how we ensure that we always stay up to date in our field. We would like to pass this advantage on to your company.
When is interim recruiting on call worthwhile instead of headhunters?
For parental leave replacements, spontaneous hiring peaks or special roles. You book capacities flexibly, avoid high commission costs and retain full process control – ideal for 1 – 5 simultaneous vacancies in tech, sales or executive areas.
What key figures does Kooku use for KPI-based interim recruiting?
We track time-to-hire, cost-per-hire, offer acceptance rate and candidate engagement. You can see all values live in the dashboard and receive weekly reports to optimize recruiting based on data.
How does an interim talent acquisition team differ from freelance recruiters?
Kooku provides a permanent, experienced project team of senior recruiters. You receive process playbooks, KPI reporting and a culture fit guarantee – without the risk of bogus self-employment. Individual freelancers usually work without a scalable methodology.
Does Kooku Interim Recruiter Germany also offer remote recruitment?
Yes. Our recruiters work remotely or on site – nationwide in Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne and other cities. A remote setup saves travel costs and enables a project start within 72 hours.
How quickly does an interim recruiting agency deliver the first candidates?
Thanks to active sourcing outbound (Ø 60 % response rate), we present the first professionally and culturally suitable profiles within 7 days. Our average time-to-hire is 28 days – around 40% faster than the industry average.
