[London, UK, 23rd of September 2024] — In an era defined by rapid change and the growing need for agility and skills in the membership-sector workforce, we are thrilled to announce the launch of the Interim Talent Hub by Membership Bespoke, a groundbreaking new online product offering tailored specifically for the membership sector.
Membership Bespoke, the most experienced, leading recruitment firm for the membership sector, recognised a growing, significant challenge: critical skills gaps were widening while the time to fill essential roles was lengthening, becoming costly for many membership organisations.
Membership organisations can significantly shape our daily existence by influencing government policies and affecting the finer details of everyday life. They are often the cornerstone of societal and economic development, playing essential roles across numerous industries and sectors, which is why Membership Bespoke is deeply committed to helping this vital sector to flourish and grow.
“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” said Daniel Goddard, Co-Founder of Membership Bespoke.
Goddard continued, “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.”
In response, they pioneered an online solution, the Interim Talent Hub, addressing these pressing needs to ensure the membership sector’s continuous growth and success.
Membership organisations can now effortlessly find pre-vetted interim professionals with the specific skills and experience they require, all within a matter of clicks—transforming a process that once took months into one of minutes.
Anna Christofis, Director of Temporary and interim Recruitment explained “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 adds “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.”
Designed with an eye for innovation and quality, the Membership Bespoke Interim Talent Hub is set to redefine how membership organisations within this dynamic, critical sector, access and manage top-tier interim talent, maintain continuity, and drive forward their goals without disruption.
Dennis Howes Co-Founder of Membership Bespoke said, “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 added, “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 represents more than a product; it stands as a symbol of Membership Bespoke’s dedication to fostering innovation and excellence in the membership sector, backed by over 13 years of recruitment expertise.
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.”
