Interim management – a strategic resource for change
Interim management is a strategic resource that gives you control and time when your organization is under pressure. With over 1,000 assignments completed, we see that the right interim solution is often the difference between continuity and disruption at critical stages.
Common reasons for interim management:
- Bridging vacancies: ensuring stability and leadership continuity while a permanent recruitment is underway.
- Between organizational phases: maintaining stability during reorganizations before the final role is defined.
- Ensure project delivery: Assign an interim consultant to take on line management so that key internal staff can focus fully on the project.
- Transformation and growth: Senior reinforcement to drive international expansion or post-acquisition integration.
Decision support for safe interim placements
Bringing in an interim consultant is rarely about just filling a gap – it’s about ensuring execution under time pressure. We combine an in-depth analysis of the assignment and its context with a competency-based methodology to provide you with objective decision support that minimizes uncertainty.

- Professional evaluation: You will receive our conclusions from in-depth interviews regarding the consultant’s expertise, leadership and personal suitability for the role.

FAQ – Interim management
The interim consultant takes operational line responsibility with a clear mandate, while the management consultant has mainly an advisory role.
An interim consultant steps into the role and takes over day-to-day responsibility for staff, budget and performance. Unlike an advisor, the interim manager focuses on implementation and stability with no start-up time, making them an integral part of the business management during the assignment.
In case of emergency vacancies, organizational changes or when the need for senior expertise is time-critical.
Interim management is a strategic resource that provides control and time during vacancies, turnaround phases or international expansion. It is also an optimal choice when the final shape of the role is yet to be determined, or when you want to ensure project delivery by letting an interim manager take care of regular operations.
You will receive candidate presentations within a few days and the assignment will normally start within 1-2 weeks.
Our process is built for quick decisions without compromising on quality, where we normally present candidates within a few days. The actual time to start is mainly affected by how quickly you are able to conduct interviews, but we always prioritize speed in critical placements.
We place managers and specialists in Finance, HR, IT, Supply Chain, Real Estate, Sales & Marketing and Public Sector.
Our network covers all of Sweden, Denmark and Germany, and includes everything from CEOs and CFOs to senior experts used to managing complex regulations and business-critical flows. To get the perfect match, we look at the big picture – from the role’s mandate and priorities to your organizational culture and systems environment.
Pricing is based on an individual hourly rate for each consultant, where you are only invoiced for the time actually worked.
Each candidate in our decision support is presented with a specific hourly rate reflecting the role’s level of responsibility and the consultant’s experience. By engaging an interim consultant, you avoid the costs of social security contributions, vacation pay and pension, while there are no recruitment fees. This provides a transparent and flexible cost model where you have full control over expenditure based on the scope of the assignment.
Through a competency-based methodology and a decision support that goes beyond the CV.
We analyze the actual focus and environment of the assignment, from ownership structure to system landscape, to validate the candidate’s capabilities in your practical reality. You will receive a structured candidate summary with matching analysis, interview assessment and clear trade-offs to make an objective decision.
Assignments usually last 3-12 months and end with a structured knowledge transfer.
The duration is entirely determined by the need, whether it is a bridge to a permanent recruitment or a specific change phase. We follow up on the assignment early and continuously to ensure that the handover to permanent staff is smooth and that the results achieved are maintained after the consultant has left.
