Interim management

Interim management encompasses highly strategic assignments dedicated to executive managers for a predetermined period. Interim Management seeks profiles with extensive experience in key leadership positions within various companies of all sizes and industries.

More impactful than simple external consulting services and more flexible than a permanent position, Interim management perfectly addresses the needs of companies seeking reactivity and flexibility, as well as the objectives of executive managers who wish to share their experience and regularly take on new challenges.

The typical profile of a Interim manager varies depending on the specific needs of the company that hires them. Interim managers often have a rich and diverse professional background. They are frequently recruited for executive positions such as CEO, General Manager, COO, CFO, Plant Manager, or HR Director. They can also be commissioned for more specific projects (transformation/restructuring).

Interim managers generally have solid professional experience, ranging from 15 to 20 years. They have often held positions in complex environments. They are recognized for their leadership, project management skills, communication abilities, and problem-solving capabilities. They quickly adapt to new situations and provide effective solutions to help the company achieve its objectives.

The cost of a Interim manager can vary depending on several factors, such as the duration of the assignment, the required level of expertise and experience, and the complexity of the project to be managed. The fees for a Interim manager are calculated on a daily basis (TJM - Daily Rate), and can range from €800 to several thousand euros per day for highly experienced profiles. Therefore, it is recommended to directly contact our firm to obtain a precise estimate of the cost.

Interim managers carry out different assignments within various companies and industries. In addition to their technical skills, expertise, and experience (hard skills), a Interim manager must possess human qualities and soft skills essential to their profession and the achievement of their objectives.

Umbrella employment is a professional status that allows self-employed workers to benefit from employee status while retaining their autonomy. In practical terms, umbrella employment involves a 3 way connection between a salaried employee (the self-employed worker), an umbrella company, and a client company.

The self-employed worker signs an employment contract with the umbrella company, which takes care of invoicing their services to the client company. In return, the umbrella company deducts a commission from the invoiced amount to cover its administrative costs and the management of the employment contract.

The self-employed worker can thus benefit from employee status, including social protection, unemployment coverage, and contributions for retirement. They can also access continuous training and have professional liability insurance.

Umbrella employment is particularly suitable for self-employed workers who wish to exercise their activity without the administrative and tax constraints associated with starting a business. It also helps secure the contractual relationships between the self-employed worker and the client company, ensuring compliance with labor laws and legal and tax standards.
