The right CIO at the right time

Better governance of IT operations

An interim CIO takes a strategic approach to IT issues and rapidly improves efficiency, security and stability. The person takes responsibility for developing and optimizing the IT strategy so that the business can grow and perform better. The IT department should be a support to the business, not a bottleneck.

Faster handling of changes

When it comes to new systems or broad digitalization, an interim CIO ensures that the process is brought under control. With experience from similar situations, the implementation is carried out efficiently with little impact on operations, so you can focus on your core business.

Efficient use of resources

A skilled interim CIO ensures that every IT investment delivers value and contributes to profitability. Costs and resources are analyzed and prioritized so that every dollar invested is used where it yields the most return and cost-efficiency increases.

The recruitment process

Our recruitment process is fast, streamlined, and tailored to your needs. We ensure you find the right candidate quickly through a clear job description and an efficient screening process.

1. Scope of Work & Objectives

We listen carefully to your expectations, goals, and current situation. A job description or job posting can serve as a basis, and we conduct a structured interview with the client.

2. Search for candidates in the network

We select and contact approximately 20 suitable candidates. We conduct interviews with the relevant and available consultants we identify, based on the job description.

3. Quality Assurance

The top 3–4 candidates are presented to the client within 1–3 days. A follow-up meeting with the client is held to finalize the selection and plan the next steps.

4. Customer Interview – Background Check

The client conducts interviews, any tests they may require, and interviews with the candidate’s grandparents. References are checked as needed, and a background check may be conducted on the final candidate.

5. Contract

We draw up a contract specifying the duration and scope of the assignment, always with a transparent pricing structure so that both the client and the consultant know how the fee is allocated. We always pay 80% of the fee to the consultant. If the client is dissatisfied, the contract can be terminated with a maximum of one month’s notice.

6. Assignments are carried out

Throughout the project, we maintain regular contact with both the client and the consultant to address any questions or gather feedback necessary for a successful collaboration.

7. Conclusion – Potential Employment

The assignment is concluded as specified in the agreement; however, if the assignment was intended to lead to employment and both parties agree, it will result in a hiring. The recruitment fee decreases the longer the assignment has lasted.

Core competencies of an experienced CIO

Ability to understand the customer's perspective

A successful CIO quickly understands the customer's situation and sees where changes will bring real benefits. Customer focus is a natural part of the way they work.

Clear leadership and good communication

The CIO leads and inspires a customer-centric approach. Communication is simple and clear, and the entire organization understands why the customer should be at the center.

Quickly integrated and solution-oriented

CIOs work efficiently, make decisions when the situation changes, and act proactively. Flexibility and problem-solving skills allow the company to react quickly and stay ahead of new demands.
