Making the switch to interim management
Is independence calling?
Today’s labour market demands for more transparency and shows an increasing need for interim managers, both experts and generalists in various disciplines. Starting on an independent employment basis brings flexibility, more control over your work-life balance and the possibility to earn more.
What is interim management?
Interim management involves the placement of a highly qualified senior managers within an organisation for a fixed period of time. This highly skilled individual will work at the complete disposal of the company, taking on operational responsibility within the framework of a well defined mission whilst working as a self-employed person.
Profile of a typical interim manager:
Interim managers have made a clear career choice to work in interim management and consider that working without security of tenure adds tenacity and focus to all they do. They are assigned to temporary positions in the management structure of an enterprise, either in a functional role, or to undertake a specific short-term project. Robert Walters has thoroughly checked the motivation, ability and success rate of each interim manager before putting them forward for an assignment.
