When the work is defined and the timeline is not negotiable, an interim consultant solves it faster than a permanent hire. The Bench is our standing network of management consultants available for interim and project work across Australia and New Zealand.
We do not run a keyword query. We go to people we have already met, already placed, or already vouched for.
Interim solves the problem without forcing a hiring decision you are not ready to make.
Our indicative day rates by level are published on The Bench, drawn from placements we have actually made, so you can sanity-check a budget before you brief us.
Ten minutes, or the interim brief template if you would rather write it down.
Against people we know personally, not a database.
Usually one or two names, inside 48 hours.
Contracting, insurances and payroll handled.
“I knew I was going to get real consultants. Not someone brushed up to look like a consultant who does not actually have the experience.”

“The right person before the brief even existed. That is the part I still find remarkable.”
CLIENT
Most roles are shortlisted inside 48 hours. Start dates depend on notice and clearances, but a week is common.
Day rates run from around $1,000 for an analyst to $5,000 for partner-level, inclusive of superannuation. The full guide is on The Bench.
Through our payroll as PAYG, or via their own limited company. We do not engage sole traders, because of PAYG withholding provisions.
Often. Several of our interim placements have converted, and we are straightforward about the terms if that happens.
Tell us the problem. Most roles come back with names inside 48 hours.
