When secondment helps
People support that moves with the work.
A flexible arrangement can help when a permanent hire is not the immediate answer, but the work still needs the right person and a clear structure.
Your team needs temporary continuity.
Support planned leave, transitions or a changing workload without losing sight of day-to-day delivery.
Demand has shifted faster than headcount.
Discuss a practical workforce arrangement while your longer-term resourcing needs become clearer.
The connected model
One assignment.
Three connected sides.
Secondment works best when responsibility is understood from the start and communication stays connected throughout the assignment.
Your team
Defines the work, reporting line, assignment period and day-to-day direction.
iTalent
Clarifies the agreed arrangement, coordinates joining and keeps communication moving.
Assigned talent
Joins with a clear brief, delivers the agreed work and raises support needs early.
The exact responsibilities and services depend on the agreed assignment terms. We clarify the scope before the arrangement begins.
Assignment lifecycle
From changing need to connected delivery.
A clear brief, an agreed arrangement and practical support — from the first conversation through the assignment.

Before we begin
A few useful answers.
How is secondment different from payroll outsourcing?
Secondment concerns the staffing and employment arrangement. Payroll outsourcing supports payroll administration for your existing employees. We’ll clarify the suitable scope.
Can the assignment length vary?
Share your expected dates and requirements so we can discuss availability and appropriate terms.
Who manages the person day to day?
The reporting line and day-to-day direction should be agreed before the assignment begins. We will clarify how the client, iTalent and assigned professional stay connected.
