Better control and reduced risk

An interim IT manager quickly steps in to create structure, clear processes, and stability in your technical environment. By taking charge of operations, systems, and security, they reduce the risk of outages and errors, while ensuring your business gets the support it needs to run smoothly.

Support for projects and change

When implementing new systems, procurements, or digital initiatives, this role acts as a technical project manager. The IT manager keeps everything together, supports management with decision-making data, and ensures implementations happen in a controlled way without unnecessary disruption to operations.

IT that strengthens goals and delivery

An experienced IT manager ensures that technology not only works but also contributes to the organization's goals. This means identifying areas for improvement, optimizing resources, and suggesting investments that provide real value, not just costs. This way, IT becomes part of business development, not just a support function.

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.

How our interim IT managers work

Technical breadth and strategic thinking

Our consultants have experience with a wide range of systems, infrastructures, and IT environments, but also the ability to think long-term. They can assess which solutions fit your organization and act as advisors for technical choices.

Proactiveness and adaptability

An interim IT manager needs to deliver from day one. Our candidates are used to quickly getting up to speed in new environments and taking responsibility without a lengthy onboarding. They are self-starters, decisive, and confident in leading both teams and technological changes.

Communicative leadership

To create real impact, you need more than just technical expertise. Our interim consultants are used to talking with both IT technicians and the management team, connecting everyone's needs. This creates a shared vision, buy-in, and ensures initiatives make a real impact.
