Are Interim Managers sometimes offered a permanent contract once the interim management engagement is completed?
In fact this is the norm. Interim Managers tend to be sensibly over-qualified for the job. They are very results-driven and often deliver benefits beyond the initial scope of engagement. Clients often approach Interim Managers and offer a permanent position. However, most Interim Managers are committed to their Interim Management careers and decline such offers. Occasionally, Interim Managers join clients. When this occurs, InterimManagement.com will facilitate the transfer. When this happens within the first year following the completion of an assignment, InterimManagement.com would charge the client a fee comparable to fees charged by Executive Search firms for such a position. The advantage to the client is that they would end up hiring an Executive after “testing” him effectively, therefore minimising any risk of getting the wrong person on board. View our full FAQ here.
