BIE’s reputation is built on speed, specialisation and the quality of the interim executives we provide. We are highly selective and generally only put forward one or two shortlisted interims to our clients, so our choice needs to be right first time.
We read thousands of CV’s and conduct hundreds of one-to-one interviews, but only one in 60 CV’s and one in 20 interviews produces a senior interim worthy of a BIE client.
Interims, some launched by BIE on their new interim management careers, many working exclusively on BIE assignments, are sourced from a range of backgrounds for a wide variety of roles and specialisations including:
- CEO / MD / Chairman
- Turnaround Specialist
- Operations / Manufacturing
- Sales & Marketing
- Logistics / Supply Chain
- Human Resources
- CFO / FD / FC
- IT / IS Management
- Change Management
- Project Management
The demand for senior interims in these areas is growing all the time. If you are interested in becoming an interim or furthering your interim career with BIE, we would like to hear from you.
