Hiring an Interim Manager?

8 advantages when involving a professional intermediary

Macroeconomic developments, half and full crises in recent times, mean that companies must be more flexible and resilient than ever. As a result, demand for interim managers has never been higher. These highly experienced professionals can step in where needed, fill gaps in knowledge and experience, steer strategic initiatives in transition or crisis, or contribute to interim project management.

But how can you ensure you're hiring the right fit? That's where BDO Interim Management (BDO IM), a professional intermediary comes in!

Here are the top advantages of involving BDO IM as a professional intermediary when hiring an interim manager:

1. Expertise in Matching Talent: BDO IM has an extensive network of Interim Managers and a keen eye for recognising top talent. We can quickly identify and match the right interim manager with your organisation's unique needs, saving you time and resources. Every consultant on our team has the skills and maturity to truly act as a trusted advisor for their clients.
    
2. Leadership: All interim managers are freelancers but not all freelancers qualify as interim managers. The combination of knowledge and experience is key of course, but to hit the mark as a recruiter you need to include the personality and cultural fit in the selection process. It's what makes the difference between hiring expertise and hiring leadership.
    
3. Faster Onboarding: With our vast experience and knowledge, BDO IM can help expedite the onboarding process, ensuring a smooth transition and enabling the interim manager to hit the ground running.
