Vacancy in a management or key role
A manager has left or a position is vacant. An interim manager ensures continuity and leadership while you recruit a permanent replacement.
Interim Management
Do you need to fill a management or senior leadership position quickly for a limited period? We help you find interim managers and senior specialists who can take responsibility during vacancies, change and business-critical projects – with expertise matched to your organisation and your goals.
The right leadership. The right experience. When you need it.
When a key person is missing or an important project needs leadership, the business cannot always wait for a permanent hire.
We help you identify experienced managers, project leaders and senior specialists who can step in with a clear assignment and mandate.
With a particular focus on technology-intensive, industrial and research-driven organisations, we look for candidates who combine relevant industry experience with the ability to quickly understand the organisation's needs.
Temporary needs that require experienced leadership
Change and reorganisation
An organisation needs to be developed, reorganised or streamlined. An experienced leader can drive the change with a clear mandate and defined goals.
Temporary need for leadership capacity
Rapid growth, parental leave or other temporary situations create a need for stronger leadership for a limited period.
Major industrial and technical projects
A plant start-up, production change, technical investment or system implementation requires experienced project or programme management.
Leadership and specialist responsibility in technology and industry
We look for interim managers and senior specialists based on the assignment's requirements for experience, responsibility and industry knowledge.
Production and industry
Production managers, plant managers, operations managers and leaders of industrial operations.
Technology and research
Technology managers, development managers, R&D managers and leaders of technical development organisations.
Projects and programmes
Project managers, programme managers and leaders of major industrial investments, start-ups and change projects.
IT and digitalisation
IT managers, CTOs, IT programme managers and leaders of digital transformation and business-critical systems.
Quality and business development
Quality managers, engineering managers and leaders in continuous improvement, processes and business development.
An experienced leader with clear responsibility
Interim management is not only about adding expertise. It is about appointing a person who can take on a defined leadership, change or performance responsibility for a limited period.
An interim manager can lead employees, make decisions within their mandate and drive the business towards agreed goals.
That is why we place particular emphasis on previous leadership experience, relevant industry knowledge, the assignment's mandate and the ability to deliver results in a new organisation.
Do you also need to recruit a permanent successor?
We can combine the interim solution with a parallel recruitment process, so the business has continuity while you find the right person for the long-term role.

Have questions? See frequently asked questions
What is interim management?
Interim management means that an experienced manager or leader takes on temporary responsibility in an organisation, for example during a vacancy, a change or a major project.
What is the difference between an interim manager and a consultant?
An interim manager normally has a clear leadership, change or performance responsibility with an agreed mandate. A specialist consultant is mainly engaged to add specific expertise or capacity. The line can vary depending on the content of the assignment.
How quickly can you present candidates?
It depends on the requirements of the role and the availability of suitable candidates. We start the search once the scope and mandate of the assignment are clear, and present relevant profiles as soon as they have been identified and assessed.
How long does an interim assignment last?
An assignment can last a few months or longer, depending on the organisation's needs, the scope of the project and the agreed terms.
What does an interim manager cost?
The cost depends on the role, responsibilities, experience and the scope and length of the assignment. We present a cost proposal and agree on the terms before the assignment starts.
Can you recruit a permanent manager at the same time?
Yes. We can search for a permanent successor while the interim manager leads the business. This creates continuity and gives you the opportunity to carry out a well-considered recruitment.
