Practical questions
Frequently asked questions
How quickly can an interim manager be placed?
One of the key benefits of interim management services is speed. Because we work with a pre-vetted network of professionals, an interim manager can typically be identified, interviewed, and onboarded within a few days to two weeks, as opposed to the months a permanent search can take.
Is an interim manager the same as a management consultant?
No. An interim management consultant advises and recommends solutions, but an interim manager takes hands-on responsibility. They become part of your executive team, holding line management authority and being accountable for delivering specific business outcomes.
How does an interim executive search firm ensure candidate quality?
As a top interim executive search firm, we have a rigorous vetting process. Our candidates are career interims with proven track records of success in multiple assignments. We assess not only their skills and experience but also their ability to adapt quickly, build relationships, and make an immediate impact.
Can an interim manager be hired permanently?
Yes, this is a common and highly successful outcome. The interim assignment serves as an extended "working interview" for both the company and the executive. If there is a mutual fit, we can facilitate the transition from a temporary management executive to a permanent role, a process often called "temp-to-perm."
What is the typical cost structure for interim management services?
Interim managers are typically paid a daily rate. This rate is all-inclusive and reflects their high level of experience and the short-term, high-impact nature of the role. While the daily rate is higher than a permanent salary, it is often more cost-effective as you are not paying for benefits, bonuses, or severance.
