Where Interims can add value

Many candidates come to us who want to use their experience and skills in a consultancy role rather than a full time position. This form of interim working is becoming more and more common and PiR Interims was created to reflect the increasing trend towards flexible, portfolio working. The aim is to provide clients with adaptable, senior level resources, at short notice, within an agreed budget, whilst ensuring business needs are met.

Typical situations where PiR interims can add value include:

• Where organisational restructures create short-term gaps
• The unexpected loss of a key team leader or a headcount freeze
• Assisting with a Merger & Acquisition exercise
• Coaching a newly appointed and inexperienced Director
• Turning around an under-performing subsidiary or division
• Working on a discrete, high level project requiring specific skills
• Covering maternity or paternity leave, sickness or sabbatical cover
• Managing change programmes e.g. for revenue generation, cost control, culture change, quality initiatives etc
• Helping start-up companies/new business areas

PiR’s clients generally want to work with experienced interim managers who have a track record at a senior and/or specialist level within healthcare organisations. As a result, they are able to quickly integrate culturally within a new client company, building communication channels with key decision makers and offering astute and informed views based on their understanding of people and situations. Clients are prepared to make a significant investment in recognition of the added value a seasoned interim will bring, including delivery against project milestones and agreed budget.
