Thrive Interim Search

Senior interim professionals for high-performing teams

Our commitment to delivering high-performing teams means that our search for interim professionals is every bit as exacting as our Executive Search, with much the same outcome: a finely-calibrated match between an individual and an assignment, with the signature Thrive Team support and system of checks to ensure all parties are happy over the course of the assignment.

A deep understanding of a very particular role

Interims could oversee the operational running of a company or team until a permanent appointment is made, or they may be hired to deliver niche skills for a particular programme or change project, where they need to be effective immediately.

Assignments for interim directors or executives can last for months or even longer, as it can take this time for target candidates with a slightly different mixture of skills and experience to be identified, approached and interviewed as a permanent hire. Alternatively, specialist interim hires can help an organisation address a specific development need such as fostering a new skill-set, which can also take some time.

Dedicated interim professionals must be comfortable in the knowledge that they aren’t a Board member, and will have to walk away once their assignment is complete: it’s not just a skillset we hire, it’s a mentality. And since all search consultants at The Thrive Team have personal experience as interim leaders, we know what separates the good from the great.

Interim Search, the Thrive Team way.

  • Our assignments begin with in-depth search briefs shared by a team of researchers.
  • We use the same in-depth qualifying and interview process we created for our Executive Search assignments, including reference-checks (and DBS checks where required).
  • As an interim you can return to us over the lifetime of your career for well-matched assignments, and we’ll work hard to understand your preferred way of working.
  • It helps us add value to our client organisations through deployment of the best people, while ensuring you’re happy and fulfilled.
  • In-depth, continually-updated assessment of our interims’ track records, skills and achievements helps us to deliver every time. And it’s another incentive to ensure we never lose touch with you.
  • We’ll check on you during your assignment to ensure you feel you have the support you need from the Thrive Team, which can include coaching or course-correction if required.
  • We guarantee that we will pay our interims within 48 hours of your invoice, while our clients can pay on their own terms (typically 30 days).
