Interim
Interim, or short term contracts, are becoming more and more widespread across the food manufacturing industry as companies seek experienced individuals to help bolster their current human resources where they have temporary gap due to a variety of reasons - a new project, maternity cover, product launch, capex projects or simply whilst they are trying to find a permanent replacement for someone who has left.
Interim candidates typically fall into two categories - those that are "full time" interim contractors, most likely working under their own limited company and for a day rate, and those who are happy to consider temporary work whilst they look for the next permanent opportunity paid on a pro-rata salary basis.
