Interim Placement Service
Experts ready to step in
Highly experienced executives on a long-term or short-term assignment and available to start immediately. Our Interims can independently and carefully settle the organisation and provide the necessary leadership. They will transition smoothly into high-workflow roles and provide a detailed report upon completion for the new incumbent.
Our work across Australia tells us that times are moving quickly, and managers are moving even faster. Whether through retirement, organisation change or the greater mobility of the workforce, jobs for life are uncommon. When managers move on to other ventures they leave a temporary gap in the management team that must be filled.
Many Councils see the advantages of bringing in a highly experienced leader or professional who can independently and carefully settle the organisation and provide the necessary leadership and expertise.
We have access to a pool of leaders and professionals, with a range of skills and abilities, across all areas of local government and available for immediate short-term (weeks) or long-term (months) assignments, including:
