Interim management, or management for hire, means that a business hires an experienced and competent leader for a limited period. Rapid access when the need is urgent By hiring an interim manager through Agile Interim, you get rapid access to the right leadership expertise. The need for an experienced leader who can step in at short notice can arise suddenly, for example if a company is going through a transformation process or a crisis occurs. It can also arise if the business only has a short-term need for a leader, for example in connection with a project, planned leave or long-term sick leave.
Because the need for a temporary leader can be urgent, using an interim manager is often a faster and better option than a lengthy recruitment process that delays the temporary leader’s start. A company that hires out interim managers can present experienced, skilled candidates within 48 hours.
Operational from day one!
An interim manager can join the company’s management team immediately. In practice, an interim manager is a stand-in manager who handles the day-to-day tasks and is operational from day one. If the interim manager is responsible for a project, he or she takes on the project manager role, reporting to a line or staff function. Unlike a hired consultant, who concentrates on analysis and advice, the interim manager has line responsibility and focuses on operations, value creation and implementation.
Tailored assignments
The length of an interim assignment will vary according to your needs. An assignment usually lasts between six and twelve months, but it can be both shorter and longer. The agreed period can also be shortened or extended during the interim period if necessary. When you hire an interim manager from us, you therefore have great flexibility to tailor the assignment as you wish.
