Interim Executive Or a Full-time Hire?
Choosing an interim executive over a full-time hire offers distinct advantages for companies facing critical role vacancies. Beyond merely filling a gap, interim executive recruitment provides a staged hiring strategy, beginning with a seasoned professional to establish foundations and devise strategies. Subsequently, a less experienced, cost-effective professional takes over for ongoing execution. This two-stage process optimizes results and reduces resource costs. Additionally, it allows organizations to evaluate leadership needs post-establishment for better hires.
Hiring interim executives can also serve as a trial period for potential long-term hires, allowing companies to assess candidates in action. It is particularly valuable for newer roles, aiding in role definition and preventing hiring mistakes. Consulting firms are preferable for initiative-focused needs, especially process execution or when a specialized team is lacking. However, engaging an interim executive is more cost-effective when the missing ingredient is knowledge and expertise, and a capable team is already in place. It is also advantageous for management and leadership-focused needs, offering experienced professionals at less than half the cost of consultancies.
