Spot-on recruitment of interim managers

Easy and spot-on matching

We really listen to what you need and pick profiles that fit both your company culture and the business challenges of the role. The result? Capable leadership in place before your business even has a chance to slow down.

Transparent pricing model

Our 80/20 model means everything is super clear about costs: 80% of the fee goes straight to the consultant, and 20% to us. No setup fees, no hidden extras. You'll have the same contact person throughout the whole process, ensuring straightforward, clear communication and quick answers.

The start of a partnership

We see the interim solution as the start of a partnership. The consultant actively works on knowledge transfer so that the value remains within your organization. If the collaboration works well, the interim assignment can transition into a permanent role – risk-free, since both parties already know that the chemistry and results are a perfect match.

Here's why companies choose to hire an interim manager

Quick recruitment and the right expertise

An interim CEO or CEO brings your company several strategic advantages. They can jump right in and drive business-critical changes. Their strength comes from broad experience across various industries and proven methods. For acquisitions or turnarounds, an interim CEO can be absolutely key to getting things done.

Just in time - when things get urgent

Interim solutions give you flexibility without long-term commitments when things change. Assignments can be short, costs stay low, and you get to check out the results before making any permanent decisions. Plus, there's often a chance for a permanent role once the project is done.

A fresh new perspective on your business

An interim CEO brings an outside perspective, offering fresh ideas and insights from other companies. Their objectivity helps you spot business opportunities and fine-tune your processes. Without internal hang-ups, you get more room to maneuver and can develop strategies that really boost your competitive edge.

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.
