FAQ for Interim
What's the meaning of interim leadership?
Organisations often have short- or mid-term people needs due to critical issues, projects or initiatives, need specific expertise or an open key role. Hiring a leader temporarily to fill the need at hand helps your organisation move with agility and get you the proven, experienced talent needed.
What's the difference between acting and interim?
When someone within your organisation steps in to fill a role temporarily until a permanent hire can be made, that individual is “acting” in that role.
An interim individual is brought in from outside of the organisation to fill a role while a permanent hire is found. The interim individual has extensive experience in that role with other organisations and will help keep operations running smoothly while the team focuses on hiring or other strategic initiatives. The interim executive or professional helps keep people resources from being stretched too thin during a transition.
How do we find an interim leader for our organisation?
Partnering with an interim search firm like Korn Ferry will get the job done. We make interim easy to implement by providing an end-to-end talent solution: sourcing, selection, onboarding, payroll and benefits, coaching/management, and off boarding.
How long do interim positions typically last?
There is no “typical” in Interim. An interim position can be filled on a short- or long-term basis. The time commitment is agreed upon at the beginning of the assignment by both parties with an opportunity to extend if the demands or scope of the assignment change. It could be a 1-week consultation or a yearlong execution of a project. The benefit of Interim is it lasts according to your needs.
