In a time where agility and specialised skills are more crucial than ever, Membership Bespoke is delighted to introduce the Interim Talent Hub, a ground-breaking online platform designed exclusively for the membership sector.
As the foremost recruitment firm dedicated to the membership sector, Membership Bespoke has observed an increasing problem: a widening gap in critical skills alongside prolonged times to fill essential roles, leading to significant costs for many organisations.
Membership organisations hold a pivotal role in shaping policies and influencing various aspects of daily life. They are integral to societal and economic development, spanning multiple industries. Recognising this, Membership Bespoke is committed to ensuring the sector thrives and continues to grow.
Daniel Goddard, Co-Founder of Membership Bespoke, explained the growing issue: “A frequent question I receive from clients is how to bridge their widening skills gaps. Whether it’s a Trade Association urgently requiring additional lobbying and advocacy to represent its members or a Professional Body preparing to launch a new qualification and CPD pathways. As it turns out, interim hires can adeptly address these needs, but isn’t always an obvious solution.”
He added, “So we asked ourselves, how can we streamline the interim process for organisations, allowing them to save time and money while seamlessly filling a skills gap.”
The answer was the creation of the Interim Talent Hub, an innovative online solution that helps membership organisations bridge these gaps, ensuring the sector continues to flourish.
Through the Interim Talent Hub, membership organisations can now access pre-vetted interim professionals with the precise skills and experience they need, transforming a once lengthy process into one that takes only a matter of minutes.
Anna Christofis, Director of Temporary and Interim Recruitment at Membership Bespoke, stated, “For over 13 years, our dedication to membership-focused clients has provided us with a comprehensive understanding of the shared challenges these organisations face, particularly skills gaps. By connecting them with proven candidates who have successfully addressed similar issues for other clients, we’ve received tremendous positive feedback. With the creation of the Interim Talent Hub, we aim to streamline this process even further, ensuring an even more efficient and effective talent-matching experience.”
Christofis added, “In our Hub, it’s crucial to recognise that each candidate has a track record of meeting diverse client needs with remarkable adaptability and effectiveness. These professionals are meticulously vetted, ensuring we have a deep understanding of their abilities. Furthermore, to uphold our commitment to our Equity, Diversity, and Inclusivity (EDI) principles, the identities of our interim talent remain confidential until both parties are prepared to engage in direct communication.”
The Interim Talent Hub is set to transform the way membership organisations access interim talent, ensuring continuity and enabling them to achieve their goals without disruption.
Dennis Howes, Co-Founder of Membership Bespoke, commented, “Prioritising quality over quantity and employing a robust candidate vetting process alongside diligent interim candidate care, we proudly unveil the Interim Talent Hub—the pioneering platform specifically designed for the membership sector.”
Howes continued, “Evaluated and approved by some of our clients, candidates, and partners already, our Hub emphasises the significant contributions that temporary workers like interims deliver to various industries and the broader UK economy, especially with the Single Worker Status being a discussion point currently.”
The Interim Talent Hub is more than just an innovative product—it is a symbol of Membership Bespoke’s long-standing dedication to fostering excellence and growth in the membership sector, with over 13 years of recruitment expertise driving its development.
Tom Lovell, Advisor to the Membership Bespoke Board, said, “Talent plays a fundamental role in shaping the future of organisations and industry sectors. Making it easier to engage the best talent in more flexible ways, this innovative Hub is exciting to membership organisations and their member communities alike.”
