Run an interim alongside the search
Keep the retainer running and put a day-rate interim in the seat. The role stays covered and you earn a second income line on a search you've already won.
- Search starts
- Interim holds the role
- Hire lands

Questions
What search partners ask us
We're a retained search firm, not a temp agency. Is this for us?
Yes. You keep running search. The platform handles the contract admin: timesheets, invoicing, payments and credit control. Many firms start with one client and one interim.
Will our client see Sonovate?
Invoices are white-labelled in your firm's brand, and our credit control team protects your brand when they speak to your client.
Can permanent and interim work run through one facility?
Yes. Total Funding covers contract and eligible permanent placements in one facility, with no all-turnover agreement, so you choose the work you fund.
What if one client is a big share of our book?
There are no concentration limits. Your best client doesn't become a funding ceiling, as long as their credit supports it.
