Given the growing shortage of skilled experts – even at the management level – it is not always possible to immediately find the right person for a permanent placement. For a position that requires specialist knowledge, an interim manager can bridge the gap during the search for a suitable candidate. However, this requires that the consultant works independently for the company and within the framework of a specific project assignment. Independent consultants can also support the leadership team or the respective division management (HR, supply chain, etc.) during a company's restructuring. Until the final organisational structure and the new corporate strategy have been decided in detail, an interim manager can bridge this interim period and provide clarity regarding the direction of the company.
An interim manager can also be a valuable solution for new business owners. Not all entrepreneurs have extensive knowledge of managing employees or have detailed industry knowledge when they start their business. Interim managers support entrepreneurs for a specific period of time, can lead employees, or share their expertise with new business owners. Since these consultants are self-employed, their assignments can be planned as needed. With the support of highly qualified independent consultants, knowledge gaps in the start-up phase can be bridged easily and flexibly.
Interim managers or independent consultants can be deployed for project work if the company's own capacities or specific expertise are limited. This also applies to specific topics for which a company does not need permanent expert knowledge.
As your interim management partner, Robert Half supports you every step of the way in your search for experienced, highly qualified self-employed consultants.
