How does the labour market find the balance between permanent and interim managers?
Who remembers?
The most important rule in CV screening used to be simple and relentless: Less than 5 years with the same employer? Off to the ‘C pile’ - rejection guaranteed. Today? Unthinkable!
Job changes are now the norm. It's almost as if working life has opened up a permanent ‘happy hour’ for new challenges - and more and more people are taking advantage of it. According to a recent study, almost one in two people will be working on a project basis by 2030. A clear indication that the world of work is on the brink of profound change.
So why not make greater use of interim managers? They bring a breath of fresh air and real agility to the company - and not just for short assignments.
The advantages are obvious:
✅ Rapid availability: interim managers can be deployed flexibly and at short notice.
✅ Temporary expertise: Specialised experts with experience in solving specific problems.
✅ Cost control: No long-term obligations such as social security contributions or severance payments.
My conclusion: companies should no longer rely solely on permanent positions to be successful. A smart combination of flexible interim managers and permanent employees will characterise the working world of the future.
We would be happy to explain to you how we find the right employee for a permanent position or an experienced interim manager.
