Interim Management
Strengthen your business and organization
Interim Management of specialists, managers and directors is by far the best solution for many companies Interim Management Managers Directors a proved strongly professional and competent employee for a limited period. There may be a need to strengthen operations, add new strategic forces or lift the company up to a higher level or in a completely new direction. Holmgaard Management can help you with that. Whether it is a specialist, a manager or a director, an interim manager can be started up quickly and efficiently and provide the company with the necessary resources and competencies. The individual solution can originate from several different situations and conditions, but common to them all is that the current needs must be covered with unique competencies. Our experience comes primarily from tasks with interim management, recruitment and headhunting for small and medium-sized companies, private equity funds, larger groups and the public sector.
There are many ways in which an interim manager can be part of your particular business. There may be a need for continuity of operation – perhaps there has been an acute illness, termination, maternity leave or other leave. There may also be a desire to develop or add additional specific competencies to a specific project or business area. Our many years of experience show that it can happen very acutely in the event of a sudden illness or crisis, changes in the market or a planned expansion of the business. It usually requires some very special skills. We can ensure that you as a company can maintain momentum in urgent needs and add the necessary competencies with a minimum of obligations.
There are many business areas that require a high professional level when it comes to specific managerial competencies. As a company, you have the opportunity to strengthen the business with a temporary management. We call this ”management by demand”, and it is most often used for acute or strategic challenges, which require experienced management with an increased action and decision-making power. Most often, we have the best opportunity to make a positive difference for you when changes or restructurings occur in the organization. This can be, for example, mergers, acquisitions or sales, turnarounds, corporate crises and similar tasks, which the organization is not geared for in everyday life. There can also be an acute lack of the right competencies in the case of, for example, illness, redundancies, peak loads, branch- or market-specific or strategic challenges. We are happy to help you find the right candidate who can execute these tasks from day one.
Holmgaard Management has many years of experience with recruitment and executive search. Therefore we can offer a very large well-qualified network of managers / specialists exactly with the qualifications that our customers / clients demand. We often experience that the client demands the opportunity for permanent employment of our interim managers / specialists after 6 – 12 months of cooperation – We call this “Try Before You Hire”.
With a flexible “Try Before You Hire”, we are at the crossroads between the traditional interim management concept and executive search. Our special concept thus allows both the client and the interim manager to enter into permanent employment after a period ; conversely, they can also terminate the interim agreement without further obligation or notice of termination.
You must therefore expect that at the start of any Interim Management agreement, we do extraordinarily more than the standard in our branch by analyzing your company, your strategy and the need for the supply of interim competencies.
Our headhunters who also work with Interim Management have different professional backgrounds, therefore we ensure that you get the right candidates with the right qualifications every time. We guarantee that the manager personally fits in and is operational from day one, and not least with a minimum of formalities. Should the interim manager unexpectedly not meet our common expectations, we will find a new candidate at no extra cost to you. Therefore, please contact us today for a non-binding conversation.
