Secondment · How It Works

From brief to first day, without the paperwork

You define the role, duration and reporting line. We coordinate sourcing, contracting, onboarding and ongoing employment administration.

01

Define the Assignment

Scope, duration, budget and reporting line agreed up front so there are no surprises later.

02

Source & Shortlist

We present screened candidates who are genuinely available for a contract term, not only permanent seekers.

03

Contract & Onboard

We issue the employment contract, arrange MPF and insurance, and get the person started on your date.

04

Run & Review

We handle payroll and admin every month, and check in with you on performance and extension.

FAQ

Secondment, answered

Who is the legal employer?+

iTalent is. The seconded staff member sits on our payroll and employment contract, while you direct their daily work and priorities.

What is the minimum assignment length?+

Most assignments run three months or longer. Shorter cover is sometimes possible — tell us the dates and we will say what is realistic.

Can we hire the person permanently later?+

Yes, and it happens often. We agree conversion terms at the start so there is nothing to negotiate at the point you want to make an offer.

How is this different from a placement?+

With a placement the candidate joins your payroll on day one. With secondment they stay on ours for the agreed term and you are invoiced monthly.
