Finding the right interim

"3i buyouts are focused on driving rapid ebitda growth in each of our investee companies. Professional interims are therefore an important part of our tool box, both to ensure we can take full advantage of growth opportunities where the company is resource constrained, or where we need to quickly address performance issues in the company." Alan Stevenson, Director, 3i plc

With different interim managers obviously having different backgrounds, skills and levels of expertise, there will naturally only be a small number of candidates who could be deemed to be suitably qualified for any given assignment.

Of these few, one or more may be not be in a position to take up the appointment and so — when time is a critical factor — it is vital that the right available candidate is found as quickly as possible.

This is where a specialist interim manager placement company comes in. Their particular qualifications and experience can prove invaluable when:

  • Clarifying the objectives and terms of reference
  • Finding the best interim manager available for the position
  • Advising on the most appropriate introductory process for the Interim
  • Negotiating fees and contract terms
  • Keeping in touch during the assignment to ensure expectations are being met

In addition to drawing up a shortlist of potential candidates who fit your brief, an interim management company should also be prepared to give you a firm recommendation on the person they feel is most suited to your requirements. However, the final decision should always be yours.
