Frequently asked questions

We start with a thorough introductory meeting. We want to understand how your organisation works, what challenges you face and what makes you unique. This enables us to tailor our support to your specific legal needs, both in terms of subject matter and team fit.

When an assignment arises, we search our network of interim managers for the most suitable solution. You’ll have a single point of contact, but behind the scenes our team works closely together.
Because we continuously and proactively monitor our talent pool, we can respond quickly to new requests and propose a selection of strong, suitable candidates within 48 hours.

Our freelancers usually work on an all-inclusive daily rate. At the end of the month, we provide a timesheet detailing the work carried out, if required.
Once approved by the line manager, we issue the invoice. The standard payment term is 14 days from the invoice date.

We constantly monitor the availability of our network and maintain close contact with our freelancers. For a typical legal assignment, we present a shortlist of up to three candidates within 48 hours who best match your requirements in terms of expertise, cultural fit and practical suitability.
Our business managers combine in-depth experience in talent acquisition and the legal sector, enabling us to select candidates with a sharp focus on quality and fit.

Hyphen has been active in the legal market for many years and has a rigorously screened network of freelancers. Our business managers are trained in interview techniques, carry out targeted reference checks and select candidates tailored to the specific assignment. Thanks to their own experience in the legal sector and legal recruitment, they understand your context and needs. They contribute their expertise, offer advice and act as a sounding board in the search for the right match.

We tailor our services entirely to the client’s needs. Together, we determine the start and end dates of an assignment, with scope for adjustments along the way.
By default, we provide a one-month notice period, but this is also negotiable. Whether it’s a full-time or part-time assignment, short or long term, we work with you to find the best solution and ensure clear agreements. A phased start or wind-down is also perfectly possible in consultation with the interim manager.

We specialise in legal services and know this market in Flanders and Brussels inside out.
For every assignment, we seek out the best available freelance expertise. We look not only at expertise, but also at sector context, personality and cultural fit. We ensure a match that works, both within the team and for the assignment.

We know the market inside out and always ensure a rate that is in line with market conditions for the assignment, the profile and the context. We usually work with an all-inclusive daily rate, including travel and standard expenses. An hourly rate is also possible where this is more appropriate.
Important to note: an interim manager only invoices for the days actually worked. There are no salary costs, holiday entitlement, training costs or fringe benefits.
For assignments involving exceptional travel or additional costs, we will work with you to determine the appropriate arrangement.
