Interim HR Support: Keeping Your People Function Moving While You Recruit
Updated: 3 days ago
Recruiting the right HR professional can take time. But employee issues, management queries, compliance requirements and day-to-day HR work do not stop while a vacancy is open.
The HFactor provides flexible interim HR and generalist support to organisations that need experienced HR capacity immediately — whether you are recruiting a permanent HR Manager, HR Business Partner, Senior HR Adviser or need additional short-term HR resource.
HR support that fills the gap
The aim is simple: keep your people function moving, maintain continuity and prevent important employee matters from building up while you recruit.
Support can include day-to-day HR advice, complex employee relations, disciplinaries and grievances, sickness absence, capability and performance management, contracts and policies, recruitment and onboarding, probation management, family leave and flexible working, HR compliance, employee-file audits, organisational change, manager coaching and offboarding.
More than emergency HR cover
Interim support should not simply keep the inbox moving. An experienced HR consultant can identify risks, improve processes, support managers with difficult decisions and leave the HR function in a stronger position for the incoming permanent hire.
Flexible generalist and ongoing HR support
Not every organisation needs a full-time HR department. The HFactor can also provide ongoing generalist HR support for SMEs and growing organisations that need access to senior HR expertise without employing a permanent senior HR professional.
Support can be arranged on an hourly, day-rate, short-term interim, project or retained basis depending on the organisation's requirements.
Competitive pricing without compromising expertise
The HFactor offers competitive, flexible consultancy pricing designed to give organisations access to experienced MCIPD-level HR support without the fixed employment costs associated with adding permanent senior HR headcount.
The focus is on practical, commercially aware HR support: the level of expertise you need, for the time you need it.
When interim HR support can help
Interim support can be particularly useful when an HR role becomes unexpectedly vacant, recruitment is taking longer than anticipated, an HR team is overstretched, additional capacity is needed during organisational change, or an organisation needs experienced cover before a permanent appointment starts.
