Interim management helps
companies take a step forward

  • Transformation of the company before or after its takeover

 

  • Crisis management : straightening out an industrial site, calming a social climate

 

  • Replace an absent manager: take over the management of a company or service at short notice, during the recruitment of the permanent position

 

  • Temporary need for skills: setting up the supply-chain service, reorganizing a production site, setting up a CSR transition, etc.

Interim Managers, quickly operational

At Leaderia, we support agri-food and hotel-catering companies. The interim manager is not an employee of the company (and therefore does not come under personnel costs) and provides key skills and specific management to client companies. His role is to provide immediate solutions to a specific situation and to pass on his skills to sustain his action after his departure.

 

Our team personally knows all the interim managers in our base in order to be able to identify within 48 hours on average, the profile(s) that are best suited to your needs: growth, crisis management, digital transformation, optimization, replacement of a manager absent, or to compensate for an absence in a recruitment that takes time.

Interim management: frequently asked questions

What is an interim manager?

An interim manager is an experienced executive brought in for a defined assignment and a limited period: leading a transformation, turning a site around, replacing an absent executive. They are not an employee of the client company and hand over their methods to the teams before leaving.

Interim management or temporary staffing: what is the difference?

An interim manager leads a high-stakes assignment with a results objective. A temporary manager ensures continuity in a role during an absence or a peak in activity. See our executive temporary staffing offer.
