Fact sheet on the use of interim managers.


There are a considerable number of advantages in using the services of an interim manager but many organisations choose to steer clear of them in the belief that they are too expensive. Evidence suggests that is not the case. You get the services of a highly qualified person with a remit to manage certain tasks paid solely on the the basis of their time and achievements at a very reasonable rate.

Other advantages of using an interim manager are;
  • they do not waste time being involved in office politics
  • they can be employed at very short notice
  • their contract can be terminated at short notice should their project come to an early end
  • there is no lengthy induction period to bring them up to speed
  • they make the company agile and flexible by preventing the need to "staff up" in advance of anticipated business growth
And yet businesses still seek to recruit staff on a fixed-term contract to fill these short-term positions. The employer is then responsible for paying a number of hidden costs such as national insurance, benefits such as health insurance and a car, in addition to recruitment fees, either direct or through agencies. When all that is taken into account, using an interim manager can save up to 40% of the overall costs of recruiting a temporary employee.
