Freelance Partner

Freelance and interim manager placement from Hamburg

Freelance Partner, a German agency in Hamburg, finds freelance specialists and interim managers for client companies. Its site says it has more than 12 years of consulting expertise and that more than 230 companies rely on it. The firm describes itself as an owner-managed network boutique, which it contrasts with an online platform.

A pool of senior freelancers and interim managers

The firm says it draws on a pool of more than 7,500 hand-picked senior freelancers and interim managers, covering HR, finance, marketing, IT and sales. It offers a full service, from matching through contract signing to moderation. Roles it places range from HR administration and an interim head of finance to product managers.

Matching in 48 hours

The site says that a client who makes a request receives three or four suitable proposals within 48 hours, with references for each freelancer. The firm credits this speed to personal matching, combined with AI-powered tools and automated process steps.

Personal contact instead of an anonymous database

The firm says its process runs in three parts: checking each candidate's personal details, a personal meeting with clients and freelancers, and collecting the documents and verbal references that show past work. It says it works with its network in person rather than as an anonymous freelancer database. It meets both clients and freelancers before placing anyone, so that it can tailor each placement to a client's needs. Project lists, CVs and references are checked closely before a candidate is put forward.

Support after the contract is signed

The firm says it coordinates the key details of each placement, such as project duration, with both sides. It stays available to answer open questions, and after signing it moderates between the freelancer and the client.

Recent placements

Its case studies include short-term support from a freelance HR generalist, the placement of a selected senior tech recruiter, and a freelance project manager for a transport business. The site names OLX Group as a client in its case study on tech recruitment.
