Knowledge Transfer

Multiple IT Talent & Sourcing Company Of The Year

We feel your pain

Every sector has its own IT and digital challenges. What they have in common: when leadership is temporarily lacking or change needs to be accelerated, engaging interim senior management profiles in a timely manner is crucial. We provide strategic direction and operational strength where it’s needed.

Urgent vacancies & rapid bridging

An unexpected exit, long-term absence or open director role creates a leadership gap in your IT organization. We provide an experienced interim leader in two to four weeks to ensure stability and progress.

Complex transformation processes

ERP migrations, cloud transformations and digital programs require senior leadership with experience in similar projects, without permanently expanding your internal structure. We provide tailored flexibility.

Knowledge transfer & change management

Sometimes your organization needs expertise that is lacking internally. An interim leader not only brings in knowledge, but by the end of the job, he or she ensures that that knowledge is transferred and permanently embedded.

Crisis & risk management

Cybersecurity incidents, compliance issues or stalled projects require decisive interventions. We provide temporary crisis managers who restore calm, structure and decisiveness.

The average time-to-hire for senior IT roles (permanent contract) is over 90 days. For an interim manager, 2 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can an interim IT manager start?

Our interim managers are usually available within 2-4 weeks. In urgent situations, we can often organize an initial interview within days and start within a week. We understand that acute situations require quick solutions.

Interim assignments typically range from 3 to 18 months, depending on the assignment. For bridging a vacancy, this is often 3-6 months, while complex transformations can take 12-18 months. We work flexibly and can extend or shorten the assignment based on your needs.

Knowledge transfer is a core component of any interim assignment. This includes documentation, training sessions, mentoring of team members and a structured exit with handover. We define this at the start and monitor it during the process to ensure that knowledge is retained after the interim manager’s exit.

The investment in an interim manager varies based on seniority, specialization and assignment complexity. Typically, it ranges between €800-€1500 per day for senior IT leaders. This may seem higher than a permanent employee, but you pay no recruitment, onboarding, fringe benefits or exit costs. Moreover, an experienced interim delivers immediate value.

We offer interim management at all IT levels: Interim CIO/CTO, IT Director, IT Manager, Program/Project Manager, Solution Architect, Interim CISO, DevOps Lead, and specialized experts for ERP, Cloud, Security or Data transformations. All of our interim managers have at least 10+ years of relevant experience.

We start with an intake interview to understand your situation, culture and specific needs. On that basis, we match candidates on technical expertise, industry experience, but especially on soft skills and cultural fit. You always speak to several candidates and make your own final choice.

We offer a replacement guarantee. If within the first month it turns out that the match is not optimal, we will find an alternative at no additional cost. In addition, we provide interim evaluations to make early adjustments as needed.
