WORKING AT ORCHIS

Executive Matchmaker

More quality. More trust. More impact.

At ORCHIS Interim Executives, we believe there's a better way to handle interim management. One where everyone wins: the organization, the leader, and the recruiter.
With our innovative approach, we create transparency, quality and speed in a market that desperately needs it.

We work with a well-developed talent database of exclusive, top executives in Belgium and the Netherlands . Executives who consciously choose temporary, high-impact assignments—and a partnership with ORCHIS—thanks to our personal, high-quality, and honest approach.

Your role as an executive matchmaker

You get these top executives moving, literally and figuratively.
You get to know them, understand their strengths, leadership style and ambitions.
And you look for the right assignments by actively seeking out companies that need temporary leadership capacity.

No quick placements, but well-thought-out matching.
You create the bridge between client and leader. And you do this in your own way, as an independent professional, with the strength of the ORCHIS network behind you.

ORCHIS | Interim Management - revisited

At ORCHIS | Interim Executives, we believe interim management can be done differently. No hidden margins, no long-term intermediaries. We employ a clear and honest approach that benefits both clients and interim executives.

Our approach

Fixed starting fee : A one-time selection fee of €15,000 excluding VAT , paid by the client at the start of the assignment. That's it!
Direct billing : The interim executive invoices the client directly, without ORCHIS' intervention. From the outset, the executive's full daily rate goes directly to the leader.
High-quality matches : Because interim executives retain their full daily rate, we attract top candidates who would otherwise be unavailable due to budget constraints. This results in high-quality matches with high-profile leaders who make an immediate impact.

Why is ORCHIS so often chosen?

Cost savings : Traditional models charge a daily margin on top of the interim manager's rate. For example: An interim executive earns €1,000 per day, and the intermediary invoices €1,300 per day. That's a typical margin of €300 per day. This can easily amount to €6,000 per month, and €36,000 over a six-month period. Furthermore, an interim executive more often works on assignments ranging from nine months to one to two years.
At ORCHIS you only pay a one-time starting fee, which results in significant savings.
Transparency : No hidden costs or ongoing commissions.
Speed : Thanks to our efficient processes and extensive network, we can quickly propose the right interim executive.
Cross-sector experience : We work for both government institutions and private organisations in all sectors in Belgium and the Netherlands.
Wide range of profiles : Our expertise covers all C-Level functions and senior top management positions.

For our Interim Executives

As an interim executive, ORCHIS allows you to retain your full daily rate without compromising on margins. You invoice directly to the client and enter into a direct contract, ensuring transparency and autonomy.

The result?

More quality. More trust. More impact.

ORCHIS provides access to a discreet network of proven leaders who strengthen organizations in times of transition, growth or crisis.

What you can expect

At ORCHIS, we work with independent (freelance) recruiters. Therefore, we don't offer a fixed salary or per diem, but a clear and fair earnings model:

50% of the fee on every placement you successfully complete
Complete freedom in where, when, how and with whom you work
You choose your own customers and assignments - quality comes first
Access to our free ORCHIS expertise center (Academy) with moments of inspiration, physical workshops, online training and practical knowledge sharing
A network of like-minded recruiters who choose quality and respect
Fully remote working from home, at your own pace
The opportunity to make a difference for leaders and organizations

Everything we organize (knowledge sessions, peer reviews, inspiration days) is free and designed to inspire you. Nothing is mandatory, everything is allowed.
We also provide you with the right tools to organize your work efficiently and qualitatively:

Access to our Talent Database of the group with 3 HR Boutiques
Job slots on LinkedIn under the name of ORCHIS Interim Executives
Job postings on our website and on the ORCHIS platform
Templates and supporting materials that you can use as you wish

Everything is available, nothing is mandatory. You choose what helps you succeed. We're there by your side as a partner.

Want to work part-time at ORCHIS?
Yes, that's possible too! You're self-employed, so you choose how much you work, where you work, and when you work.
Of course, this is also possible part-time. There are just two logical requirements, and I'd be happy to tell you more about them!

Who we are looking for

You have at least 10 years of experience in recruitment , a significant part of which in executive search
You feel like a fish in water in the world of CEOs, management teams and strategic decision makers
You think in terms of opportunities and connections, and get energy from high-level matching
You are independent (or ready to be) and want to help build an innovative interim management network
You are based in Belgium or the Netherlands and work fluently digitally

Quality over quantity
At ORCHIS, we deliberately avoid KPIs related to the number of sessions, intakes, or presentations. You are independent and free to manage your time as you see fit to achieve success. Your time is valuable, so choose the actions that lead to success. We don't believe in volume, but in high-quality programs with conscious choices .

Are you working on one, two, or just three vacancies a month, for clients you genuinely want to collaborate with? Then we'll definitely be there supporting you from the sidelines. Because that's what success is, for us.

You screen candidates thoroughly – online or in person – and only introduce someone if you feel they're the perfect fit . One candidate who gets to interview and immediately feels right is worth more to us than ten "active presentations" without results.

We're a boutique. And that means no quotas, no pushy behavior, no rush.
Quality comes first. Always.
