In order to meet our clients’ standards of quality, we set very high standards when choosing our candidates. We are always trying to meet new candidates who have the following qualities and include them in our candidate pool:

  1. Distinctive capability on first respectively second executive level
  2. Sustained project experience, ideally in a dynamic restructuring environment
  3. Verifiable successful completion of interim mandates

Our Interim Managers are supported by EXECUTIVES.AGENCY if required during a project in order to ensure competent contacts during the entire project term. We especially like to recommend candidates with whom we have already completed projects successfully. This consolidates our assessment of operation and personality of the Interim Manager.
