Hire the Right Interim Manager – Safely and Quickly

An interim CEO is a temporary chief executive officer who steps in to lead a company during a transitional period when there is a leadership vacuum. An experienced interim CEO can quickly take over management and handle both day-to-day operations and strategic objectives without imposing long-term obligationson the company.

A CEO plays a crucial role in a company’s success and long-term development. That is why it is essential to make the right hiring decision—a poor appointment can have serious consequences.

Fast recruitment and the right skills

An interim CEO or managing director offers your company several strategic advantages. The consultant can start immediately and drive business-critical changes. Their strength lies in their broad experience across multiple industries and proven methodologies. In the case of an acquisition or turnaround, an interim CEO can be crucial to the success of the process.

Just in time – when you're in a hurry

Temporary solutions offer flexibility without long-term commitments when circumstances change. Assignments can be short-term, costs are kept low, and you have time to evaluate the results before making permanent decisions. There is often the possibility of a permanent position once the project is completed.

A fresh new perspective on the business

An interim CEO brings an outside perspective, along with new ideas and insights from other companies. This objectivity helps you identify business opportunities and improve processes. Free from internal constraints, you gain greater flexibility, allowing you to develop strategies that strengthen your competitive edge.

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.
