The shortlist in 48 hours: that's the standard. Hit it.
On an interim management mandate, the first firm to present wins. Marvin keeps your pool of interim managers alive — each one updates their own availability — and chains matching, client presentation and timesheets all the way to invoicing. Without a second tool.

Today's reality
What loses interim management mandates.
48 to 72 hours to present — or the mandate goes elsewhere
That's the market standard. Yet your response depends on a pool you're never sure of: who's available today, at what day rate, on what scope? By the time you've checked, the window has closed.
Hundreds of managers to requalify, constantly
Availability, day rates, specialties, mobility: this information expires within weeks. Requalifying it by phone, one call at a time, keeps someone busy full-time — and the data is already wrong the following month.
Mandate reporting done by hand
The client expects a structured, regular update — it's your visible value. Today it comes out of documents assembled by hand, mission by mission, every month.
Two disconnected tools: recruitment and interim
Many firms run both businesses — with an ATS for one and spreadsheets for the other. Same talent pool, same clients, two systems that ignore each other.
How Marvin speeds it up
The interim mandate, from availability to invoice.
The talent pool updates itself
Every manager has their own People space and declares their own availability, mobility and terms. You stop spending your days requalifying: fresh data comes in on its own.
Matching that holds the 48 hours
A mandate comes in: semantic search across the pool — sector, past missions, availability — and the shortlist builds in hours. Interview notes count as much as CVs.
The client follows their mandate without chasing you
Board gives the client a real-time view: profiles presented, progress stage by stage, comments in the same place. Reporting becomes a link, no longer a document to produce.
From the manager's timesheet to the invoice
The manager logs their timesheet in People, approval is electronic, the invoice is generated from there. The mandate is tracked from first contact to final payment, in the same tool.

The three questions you are about to ask us
What about migration?
We take over your history — candidates, contacts, notes, documents — with automatic deduplication and no downtime. You stay the owner of your data, exportable at any time.
What about my LinkedIn account?
Sends respect cautious quotas adapted to your account tier, with randomized delays. Built to work like a human, not a robot.
What about my data?
Hosted in France at Scaleway, by a French company under GDPR. And a team you can actually reach — that is what sovereignty means too.
The questions we actually get asked
How much does it cost?
Our pool is split between an ATS and spreadsheets — how do we migrate?
Doesn't LinkedIn tooling put our accounts at risk?
Will our senior managers actually use a portal?
“Some tools are geared toward HR teams, others are used for transition management -- but these tools have not made the AI shift.”
