Anne Beitel explains why being an interim manager is such an attractive offering to so many highly-skilled people, and provides insight into why they are increasingly willing to then take on permanent, employed positions.
A new pool of high quality executive talent has made itself available to the harassed recruitment director, as 57% of practicing interim managers now say that for the right role they could be persuaded to go permanent. And access to this group of overqualified, results focused, outspoken and highly sought-after individuals appears to be increasing.
For those who choose to step outside the confines of permanent employment, interim management offers a number of benefits for both the individual and the hiring organisation. It provides executives with variety in the workplace through the ability to work in a range of different companies. Furthermore, it offers an escape from corporate politics if a person has become weary of this.
