Specialising in contract, temporary, and interim recruitment requires both agility and deep industry insight. At Hanson Search, we bring decades of expertise across marketing, sustainability, communications, and digital recruitment—paired with an extensive global network of top-tier talent. This enables us to support clients in securing high-performing interim, freelance, and contract professionals swiftly and successfully, across both short-term needs and long-term transformation programmes.

We recruit across both in-house and agency-side roles, and our consultants are true experts in their markets. With teams based in the UK, Europe, the USA, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, we provide global reach with local understanding. Many of our consultants come from the industries in which they now recruit—bringing first-hand knowledge of the challenges, pace, and nuances of the roles we place.

Why consider interim recruitment?

In today’s fast-moving business environment, organisations must remain responsive, resilient, and ready to adapt. Interim, contract, and freelance recruitment offers a strategic way to bring in high-calibre professionals precisely when and where they’re needed.

Clients come to us for interim solutions in a wide range of scenarios, including:

  • With more experienced professionals choosing freelance or contract work, interim recruitment provides access to a rich pool of agile, highly skilled talent.
  • When permanent teams lack specific expertise for high-profile, high-pressure projects, bringing in an interim professional can ensure timely and expert delivery—without compromising on quality or brand integrity.
  • Whether you’re launching a new campaign, scaling operations, or navigating organisational transformation, interim talent can provide stability, leadership, and expertise during periods of flux.
  • Interim solutions can help maintain momentum and mitigate disruption during parental leave, sabbaticals, or executive transitions.

Sector expertise that spans industries

We have a proven track record of placing interim professionals across a wide range of sectors, including FMCG, consumer, retail, leisure, travel, technology, automotive, B2B services, energy, professional services, financial services, and non-profits. Whether you’re hiring an interim Marketing Director, a freelance Communications Consultant, or a contract Head of Sustainability, we’ll connect you with professionals who are trusted, experienced, and ready to deliver results from day one.

Our approach is always consultative. We take the time to understand your organisational goals, culture, and challenges—then match you with flexible talent solutions that enable success.

At Hanson Search, we don’t just fill roles—we provide interim recruitment solutions that drive growth, protect reputation, and support lasting impact. We take a consultative approach to marketing recruitment, connecting you with the best interim, contract, and temporary talent to meet your business objectives.
