On Demand Talent

Not every hire needs to be permanent.
When pressure is on and timelines are tight, you need support that can hit the ground running.

Our On Demand Talent service gives HR and People leaders fast access to high calibre interim professionals, pre-vetted, values aligned, and ready to make a difference from day one.

Whether it’s backfilling a role, boosting capacity, or supporting change, we’ll help you find the right person quickly and with care.

Here’s what makes it work:

  • Fast turnaround - We move quickly to find the right fit, often within 24 to 48 hours.

  • Expertise at every level - From experienced HR Coordinators to strategic senior leaders.

  • Scalable solutions - Whether you need someone for two weeks or six months, full time or a few days a week.

  • Risk-free - The compliance and liability of talent sits with us, not you.

Perfect For:

  • Teams managing increased workloads or major transitions

  • Businesses navigating headcount freezes or approval delays

  • Projects that require niche or specialist HR expertise for a defined period

  • Leaders who need backup to avoid burnout or maintain delivery momentum

  • Organisations looking for a "try-before-you-buy" path to permanent hiring

  • We’ve turned to Samuels Donegan’s ‘On Demand Talent’ service for temp HR support several times now, and they always offer talented candidates. Recently, we needed to fill a temp position and SD approached it with the same care and detail you’d expect for a permanent hire. Our most recent placement was such a great match, both in skills and culture, that we were so happy to offer them a permanent position. The team takes the time to understand what we need, and it shows in the candidates they offer and their placements.
