Interim resource could provide a 30% annual saving on the true cost of a permanent employee.

If you have wondered how the cost of interim resource compares to permanent recruitment, then it’s worth checking out our cost comparison. When all employment costs, such as National Insurance, pension contributions, holiday allowance, sickness and training days are taken into account, then the costs of hiring a senior interim manager will be lower than their permanent equivalent. If the interim can fulfil the job in four days per week rather than five, which is often the case, then around 30% saving could be made annually vs a permanent equivalent. At a time when public sector savings are top of the agenda, it’s worth bearing these true costs in mind when considering how best to fill a role.
