Interim Executive
Executive search is one of the most challenging initiatives for any company. Hiring even a middle manager is at least a million-dollar gamble for any company when you put all of the recruitment costs, evaluation costs, separation costs, legal fees and lost executive time and company-wide productivity onto a single spreadsheet. And the potential for lost revenue may well exceed that, especially if you are engaged in a critical IT executive search.
At the same time, other on-going challenges to your company may drive you to seek an expensive change agent who will demand premium compensation and a golden parachute. Yet, once successful operating changes have been implemented, you may have no need of such a high-powered and probably restless executive. This approach can drive two or more executive search cycles — each a million dollar gamble — in less than 18 months. At best, this is an expensive luxury. At worst, it’s a financial disaster.
