Interim Manager Louk Notten is currently working on a government assignment through Striive. Since 2004, he has been an independent professional, helping various clients. When he came across a government assignment in June 2023, the hiring process was handled through the intermediary Between, one of the brands that collaborates with the Striive platform.
“As an Interim Manager, I focus on improving commercial and operational processes for clients. They hire me for various reasons, such as cost savings or increasing customer satisfaction. Sometimes there is a need to map the market and create a plan for commercial improvements. Often, there is growth or contraction happening within the organization, and extra hands are needed to set up a project alongside the daily business. How and for how long I am involved in a project depends on the nature of the assignment.”
“Normally, I handle my assignments independently and take care of all administrative tasks myself. Last year, when I landed an assignment with the RDI, they asked me to run the hiring process through Between. I received an offer via this label, which I accepted, and then the process began via Striive.
It takes a few steps to get everything in order, but once that’s done, everything runs smoothly and worry-free. The only thing I have to do now is register and invoice my hours; the rest takes care of itself. That works very pleasantly. The platform is also very user-friendly. I can see exactly when my contract ends, when the payment is scheduled, and also view new assignments."
“I use Striive's Premium service. A lot is taken care of for you, such as contract handling, professional and business liability insurance, reimbursement for screening costs, and discounts on training courses. And if I ever call or email with a question, I get a very quick response. It’s personal and effective. It feels trustworthy and reliable, so I am open to working with them again for the next assignment. I see no reason to leave Striive!”
