Interim consultants for when you need them most

Scandinavian Executive started looking to fill your position long before you even knew you needed someone. We're constantly building our network with qualified and skilled interim consultants, following the idea that good consultants know other good consultants. Today, after more than 10 years in the market, we have over 8,000 consultants in our network.

Our network is active and constantly growing, so we're always well-prepared for when you need us! With short notice, often within 1-3 days, we can give you suggestions for a consultant and an interim solution, a replacement, project management, or any executive/operational role your company or organization might need to fill.

This applies whether the assignment involves driving change, implementing restructurings, cost efficiencies, temporary reinforcement, or replacing an existing position.

We carefully listen to your expectations, goals, and current situation. A role description or job ad can serve as a basis, and we'll also conduct a structured interview with the client. The more information we get at the start, the better our search will be later on.

After that, we review our quality-assured network, which includes all 8,000+ consultants connected to us, and create an initial list of potential consultants who meet your requirements.

We don't search on LinkedIn or go through third or fourth-degree connections in our network. These candidates then get a brief introduction to the assignment, including timeframes and financial conditions, and quickly let us know if they're available and interested.

We follow up by phone and select the most suitable candidates for the next step, which is a personal interview.

We have a deeper chat about the assignment with the best available candidates, and from those, we usually present the 3-4 consultants we think are most suitable to the client for a personal meeting.

The client conducts their interviews, any internal tests, and a final senior-level interview. References are taken if needed, and a background check can be performed on the final candidate.

An agreement outlining the length and scope of the assignment is drafted, always with transparent pricing so both the client and consultant know how the fee is distributed. We always pay 80% of the fee to the consultant. If the client is not satisfied, the contract can be terminated with a maximum of one month's notice.

During the assignment, we keep in regular contact with both the client and the consultant to catch any questions or feedback needed for a successful collaboration.

The assignment concludes according to the agreement, or if it was an assignment with employment as the end goal and both parties agree, it becomes a recruitment.

The fee for this decreases in three steps the longer you've hired the consultant: within 6 months, after 6 months, or after 9 months of the assignment.

The entire process takes between 1-3 business days.
The fee is always presented transparently, with 80% going to the consultant. Both client and consultant know how the fee is distributed, which creates security and clarity. No one is kept in the dark, and there are no hidden fees.

Always give us transparent information about:

• the role and tasks – must-haves
• expectations
• overall strategic goals
• conditions within the organization
• soft skills and what's “between the lines” in the job description

This really helps us find the right person for the job.

First off, make sure you're visible and searchable in our network with a clear profile and CV.

These show us what you can bring to the table, what roles suit you, and when we should reach out to you.

When we contact you about an assignment, usually by email or text first, we'd love a quick reply, even if you're super busy at the moment.

A CV of about 2-3 pages is ideal; readers want a quick overview of who you are and what you can offer.

We also always put together a brief introduction for you as a consultant for each specific assignment. This explains why you're a great fit for the process.
