Backfill Permanent Roles

Life goes on

People get reassigned or quit, new roles evolve but the world won't wait while you recruit. The more central the role to your business strategy, the more damaging the interregnum can be. There is no need to muddle through - a call to Impact Executives is all that's required.

Permanent recruitment rarely takes less than three months, then there's probably a notice period and a learning curve to travel before your appointee is effective. It adds up to a year or more without a key executive. We don't need to spell out the corporate risk.

Take advantage of heavyweight experience

Not only can you have the comfort of an Impact Executives temporary executive interim in place within days, you will have far more than a caretaker. Our Register of interim managers contains only highly qualified and experienced people. Using the resources of a relevant and distinguished career, your interim manager will contribute from the outset, and at a high level.

It makes sense to make full use of this depth of experience and our clients have used their interim executives to spearhead change and development of their functions. By the time they are replaced, the permanent appointee can expect an informed handover and a rapid acceleration to full effectiveness.

An object lesson

In 2006 The National Physical Laboratory appointed Mike Bartlett, one of our interim managers, as Head of Engineering and Process Control while a permanent replacement was recruited. Not content to baby-sit the role, Mike established a successful knowledge transfer business, then moved on to cover the maternity leave of the Business Development Director.

Managing Director Steve McQuillan said of him, "Mike's wide experience means he can slot into any role in the organisation and be immediately effective" e.g.

• HR Director - Healthcare, UK
• Technical Director - Manufacturing, Germany
• Buying & Merchandising Director - Retail, UK
