Need to fill skill gaps? Access vetted, interim expert talent with industry and membership sector experience in just minutes.

In this whirlwind age of change, with the ever-growing need for agility and skills, we at Membership Bespoke are delighted to introduce the Interim Talent Hub—a revolutionary product designed specifically for the membership sector.

We know membership organisations are the unsung heroes. They shaping our lives by influencing government policies and getting down to the nitty-gritty details that make everyday life tick. They’re the backbone of societal and economic development, underpinning the education, development and direction of professionals across countless industries and sectors.

Labour markets are experiencing increasing skills gaps for permanent roles, as the move towards flexible working continues to grow. The time to fill positions increases, and internal gaps in organisations grow as staff at all levels look to re-balance working and living.

The tide is turning. As the way we work changes, the way we recruit needs to change as well.

“Clients often ask me how to bridge these growing skills gaps," says our Co-Founder Daniel Goddard. "Be it a Trade Association needing extra lobbying muscle or a Professional Body gearing up for a new qualification launch, interim hires can be the unsung heroes. But let’s face it, there are not always obvious solutions to finding them.”

Save the time typically wasted on searching, sifting through CVs, and conducting checks.

Our starting point was to recognise that if people want to change the way they work, and it is leaving holes that need to be filled among our clients, then we need to build a way to streamline the interim process for everyone?

We needed to save time, save money, and provide fast access to the right people, to fill skills gaps effortlessly - And so, our Interim Talent Hub for the membership sector was born!

The Interim Talent Hub is a game-changer. Membership organisations can now find pre-vetted interim professionals with just a few clicks, and we can start the process of introductions straightaway. What used to take months can now be done in minutes. 

Anna Christofis, our Director of Interim and Temporary Recruitment, is enthusiastic about the candidate selection process and the power of the platform as she can see that "It’ll benefit membership organisations, their members and interim talent alike, empowering flexible working and raising the availability of expertise. It just brings the best out of everyone. Additionally, each candidate remains entirely anonymous, with details such as name, gender, and location concealed, which aligns well with our and our clients' EDI principles."

Quality, top-tier talent - over quantity.

The human touch from our specialist interim team ensures data privacy of candidates and clients, until both are ready to be introduced, and provides the latest advice on how to structure the terms of engagement. As Anna says. "We take care of payment, employment costs, vetting and references."

And if membership organisations can effortlessly connect with highly vetted, top-tier interim professionals who are ready to hit the ground running, it supports the changing dynamic of the workplace. Our platform streamlines this process, making it more efficient, reliable, and tailored to the unique needs of the membership sector.

With an emphasis on quality over quantity, our rigorous vetting process ensures that only the most qualified candidates are presented, reducing the time and effort required for organisations to find the right fit. This not only saves valuable resources but also ensures that interim professionals are poised to make immediate, impactful contributions.

The Interim Talent Hub is more than just a platform; it's a game-changer for how membership organisations operate. It offers unparalleled access to a pool of exceptionally skilled talent. Whether it’s

  • Filling a temporary gap
  • Managing a critical project
  • Bringing in specialised expertise
Our platform empowers organisations to thrive without the usual disruptions, as none of us know what's around the corner! The result leads to continuous growth, enhanced flexibility, and a stronger, more resilient membership community.

Revolutionising membership sector recruitment

With innovation and quality at its core, the Interim Talent Hub is set to revolutionise how membership organisations tap into top-tier interim talent. No more disruption, just continuous growth and success.

Membership Bespoke co-founder, Dennis Howes, adds, "We ensure that candidates on the interim represent the hub top tier of experience and expertise, ensured by a robust vetting process and diligent interim candidate care. The Interim Talent Hub is the first of its kind, tailored specifically for the membership sector."

Our Interim Hub already has the seal of approval from Membership Bespoke clients, candidates, and partners, who are excited to use it. According to Dennis, "Our Hub highlights the massive contributions that temporary workers like interims bring to various industries and the broader UK economy, especially with the Single Worker Status debate ongoing."

Tom Lovell, who enjoyed a long career at REED, working across multiple sectors and specialisms, progressing to Global Managing Director with responsibility for a £1bn+ business, who has also worked with James Caan CBE developing a global recruitment platform and has operated at Board level within the Membership Sector, now our Board Advisor, sums it up:

"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."
