Interim is the engagement clients call us in for when a permanent search would take too long and the role cannot wait. A CFO leaves at quarter end. A regulator gives you sixty days to remediate. Interim is what bridges the gap, with someone who has done the job before and can land running.
We place interim leaders into CFO, COO, CIO, CISO, finance director, plant manager and programme director roles. Most of our interims come from our permanent network: senior operators we already know personally.
The brief for an interim is different. We do not optimize for long-term cultural fit. We optimize for the specific outcome you need delivered in three to nine months.
We run the process fast. From brief to first introduction is usually under a week. Daily rates are agreed up front, no surprises mid-engagement.
Interim is the right call when the cost of a gap is higher than the cost of an interim premium, when you need senior judgement faster than a permanent search will deliver it, or when a transition is too sensitive to assign to someone still learning the seat.
