execs4hire.com, an online service for consultants that places interim managers, has been launched.

The free resource currently provides recruiters with access to around 4,500 registered candidates regsitered at present, as well the ability to select and download up to 40 candidate CVs per month for free and post job details on the site for candidates to search and respond to.

Candidates are able to upload and edit personal details and assignment information, share interim experiences in a forum, search for jobs posted by recruiters and have up to £1m professional indemnity cover for assignments commissioned via the site.

Andrew Kidd, commercial manager at execs4hire’s, says: “The current economic climate is driving up demand for interims. For recruitment consultants speed of response to client requirements is likely to become more important than ever.”
