Quick placements, strategic expertise, and measurable results

The role and importance of an interim sales manager

An interim sales manager steps in when your sales need a boost, your strategy needs sharpening, or your organization is going through changes. Their tasks can range from handling staff turnover and market shifts to driving new growth initiatives. It's a hands-on and strategic role, all about structure, getting things moving, and delivering results.

What is an interim sales manager?

They're an experienced leader who temporarily takes charge of your sales department. Typical tasks include setting up or improving CRM systems, refining sales processes, and coaching the team. With their sharp analytical skills, the interim manager pinpoints areas for improvement and puts actions into place that really show up in the numbers.

Why you might need a temporary sales manager

You might need one if sales are dipping, you're going through an reorganization, adopting new tech, or have a gap in leadership. An interim sales manager gives you quick access to top-notch expertise without any long-term commitments, so you can make those crucial changes right away.

The recruitment process

Our recruitment process is quick, smooth, and tailored to your needs. We make sure you get the right candidate fast, thanks to a clear requirement profile and efficient selection.

1. Assignment Description & Goals

We carefully listen to your expectations, goals, and current situation. A role description or job advertisement can be used as a basis, and we'll also conduct a structured interview with the client.

2. Candidate Search within Our Network

Around 20 suitable candidates are selected and contacted. We then conduct interviews with the relevant and available consultants we find, based on the assignment description.

3. Quality Assurance

The best 3-4 candidates are presented to the client within 1-3 days. We then have a check-in with the client to plan the selection and next steps.

4. Interview with Client – Background Check

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.

5. Contract

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.

6. Assignment Commences

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.

7. Wrap-up – potential employment

The assignment wraps up as per the agreement, or if the goal was employment and both parties are on board, it turns into a recruitment. The recruitment fee gets lower the longer the assignment has been going on.
