Interim Food Recruitment
At Cibus People, we have delivered interim food recruitment solutions across several continents. We have an extensive network of interim and fixed-term professionals available, operating across all functions, management levels, and several specialist disciplines.
The same level of commitment and support is offered to both clients and interim managers to deliver the critical impact that is required.
This is a business sector that requires a very strong network of professionals who are highly respected in the industry for their achievements and success. And that is why Cibus Interims are regularly re-hired on repeat contracts and come with full reference checks.
As part of our interim food recruitment services, we provide open invoicing, giving total transparency to both the client and interim professional. It allows for a positive, open dialogue about cost, value, and effectiveness.
General IR35 guidance
What are the new rules to consider when hiring or undertaking a fixed term contract and who is responsible for enforcing them?
New IR35 rules
- If the contractor provides services to a small client outside of the public sector, you (the contractor’s intermediary) will continue to be responsible for deciding the contractor’s employment status.
- All public sector clients and medium or large-sized clients outside the public sector are responsible for deciding a contractor’s employment status.
- The responsibility for assessing IR35 tax status is now the responsibility of the hiring organisation.
HMRC will, as always, provide support and guidance to help implement the rules and ensure specific advice to the private sector. For additional HMRC guidance, click here.
Why Choose Interim Recruitment for Your Food Business?
1. Flexibility to scale staffing
The food industry is no stranger to fluctuating demands. Whether it’s a seasonal surge or an unexpected operational shift, interim managers and fixed-contract professionals allow you to scale your workforce efficiently to meet these challenges without long-term commitments.
2. Access to experienced professionals for urgent roles
When specialised skills are needed, interim food recruitment ensures you connect with professionals who bring expertise and immediate impact. From operational enhancements to compliance projects, interim managers and professionals can hit the ground running.
3. Stability and continuity offered by a fixed-term contract
Fixed-term contracts bridge the gap during key transitions, such as maternity leave or leadership changes, providing stability without overextending your permanent workforce.
4. Reduced time to hire
In a fast-paced industry such as the FMCG and food and drinks sectors, time is of the essence. Opting to recruit interim managers and professionals can significantly reduce the hiring timeline while ensuring you still get high-quality candidates.
5. Cost-effective solutions
For roles requiring specific expertise, hiring on a fixed-term or interim basis can help you avoid the costs often associated with permanent hires, such as benefits and long-term salaries.
