An interim manager fills a temporary position within a company or organization. The interim professional can be used for temporary replacement or for specific issues. Recruiting an interim manager is a quick and effective step to temporarily strengthen an organization with a particular expertise or experience.
There are various reasons why companies call on an interim manager. One of the main reasons for temporarily hiring an interim professional is the lack of certain expertise within the company. For example, if specific knowledge or experience is needed to meet a particular challenge, then bringing in an interim manager can be a good solution.
Of course, interim managers are also in demand as temporary replacements in certain positions. Sometimes it can be desirable that such a professional has a different profile than his or her predecessor so that, for example, a reorganization proceeds more smoothly.
The network includes interim managers or executives with extensive experience in various sectors. Amrop has an intensive relationship with these interim managers. The network is constantly maintained and expanded.

Also available are interim managers with knowledge in specialized areas such as program management, reorganizations and, for example, large implementation projects.
Interim managers have the substantive expertise required and years of experience in a company's specific industry. They are decisive, results-oriented and have good communication skills. They know how to move well in different organizations, both in terms of organizational politics and socially, and they are strategic thinkers. In addition, they radiate calmness and confidence and are stress resistant.
An assignment to find an interim manager is almost always in a hurry. After all, there is a temporary position that needs to be filled as soon as possible or there is another acute situation in an organization for which a specialist is sought.
When an interim management assignment comes in, Amrop gets to work immediately. The interim network of Amrop includes directors and professionals who can start work almost immediately. Amrop is well informed about the knowledge, wishes and availability of these candidates from the network so that we can switch quickly. We have worked successfully with many interim managers from the network for more than ten years.
Amrop talks to potential candidates and makes a selection. This selection can be ready after just a few days. After this the conversations between the customer and the candidates take place and after the selection by the customer the position in the interim manager network is filled.
Amrop is a top player in the field of executive search. With executive search, the process from assignment to placement often takes several months. This is because candidates are often still working for another company when they are approached for their next position.
With interim management assignments, there is a sense of urgency; the focus is on solving an acute problem. This makes the quality of the network of available professionals and managers decisive for the success of fulfilling an assignment. After all, as a client you want to move on quickly with an interim manager who can immediately add value to the organization.
Despite these differences between executive search and interim management, the partners at Amrop work together a lot. For example, an assignment that comes in as an executive search assignment can ultimately be filled as an interim if, in that case, it offers a better solution to the client's problem. In addition, a candidate who was previously primarily interested in a permanent position can temporarily accept an interim assignment.
In this way, a client benefits from the strength of Amrop's entire network.
