Frequently asked questions
Everything about interim management
Answers to the questions our clients most frequently ask about interim management and choosing an interim management firm.
What is interim management?
Interim management (also called transition management) means temporarily entrusting an executive or management role to an interim manager: an experienced executive or senior manager, external to the company and operational from day one. The assignment lasts for a defined period, typically 3 to 18 months (9 months on average at MANAGERIM), to provide interim cover, lead a transformation, a recovery, a crisis or a strategic project. The interim manager joins the organisation chart and takes operational decisions, under a B2B services contract.
What is an interim management firm?
An interim management firm identifies, assesses and provides companies with interim managers for temporary assignments. It brings a qualified pool of available executives, a rigorous selection (interviews, references, cultural fit), the contractual framework of the assignment and quality monitoring through to the handover. MANAGERIM, a premium European firm headquartered in Paris, mobilises its interim managers across Europe and internationally, from a pool of more than 20,000 Top and Middle-Top Management profiles.
How do you choose an interim management firm?
Five criteria make the difference: (1) responsiveness, i.e. how fast a shortlist is presented; (2) the depth of the pool in your function, sector and country; (3) the rigour of the assessment; (4) assignment monitoring and the replacement guarantee; (5) pricing transparency. At MANAGERIM: a shortlist of 2 to 3 profiles within 24 to 72h, more than 20,000 qualified managers, a dedicated assignment director, a replacement guarantee and a daily rate stated upfront.
Interim management, transition management, interim cover: are they the same?
Yes, these terms describe the same solution. Interim management is the term used in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany and the Nordics; management de transition is the French term. Interim cover refers more specifically to the temporary replacement of an absent executive or manager. An interim manager is therefore a transition manager, and an interim CFO a DAF de transition. MANAGERIM operates under all these terms.
When should you use interim management?
Interim management addresses 9 main contexts: interim cover and temporary replacement (unexpected departure, sick leave, maternity leave), managerial reinforcement, transformation and M&A (post-merger integration, carve-out, spin-off), performance improvement and operational excellence, restructuring, recovery and turnaround, crisis management, complex project management (ERP deployment, new plant, site transfer), growth acceleration, and bringing in an interim expert with a rare skill.
How much does interim management cost?
At MANAGERIM, the daily rate of an interim manager generally ranges from €900 to €2,200 excl. VAT per day, depending on the function, seniority (Middle, Middle-Top or Top Management), the complexity and urgency of the assignment, and the location. Searching for and presenting profiles is free of charge: monthly invoicing only covers the days actually worked, from the start of the assignment.
How rapidly can MANAGERIM mobilise an interim manager?
Thanks to its Fast Transition To Success© methodology, MANAGERIM analyses your needs within 24h and presents a shortlist of 2 to 3 interim managers within 24 to 72 hours. The selected manager is operational from the first day after your decision. Every request is handled immediately: calls answered straight away or a call back within 1h, emails handled within 2 business hours.
Interim manager or permanent executive hire?
An interim manager steps in rapidly (shortlist within 24 to 72h) for a temporary assignment of 3 to 18 months, under a B2B services contract. A permanent hire aims at a lasting appointment, with a typical lead time of 2 to 6 months. The two are complementary: an interim manager can provide cover while MANAGERIM recruits the permanent holder through its Accelerated Executive Search (hire within 4 to 6 weeks, 100% success-based).
Which functions does MANAGERIM cover?
MANAGERIM covers all Top Management and Middle Management functions: CEO, CFO, CHRO, CIO, Industrial Director, Plant Manager, Supply Chain Director, CPO, CCO, CMO, Legal Director, CRO (Chief Restructuring Officer), Chief Transformation Officer, PMO, Qualified Person, Facilities Manager, and all functional heads.
Which sectors does MANAGERIM operate in?
MANAGERIM covers 9 broad sector families: Manufacturing (automotive, aerospace, defence, rail, mechanical engineering, metallurgy), Process & Agri-Food (chemicals, petrochemicals, FMCG, food & beverage), Healthcare/Pharma (CDMO, biotech, MedTech, care homes), Luxury/Retail/E-commerce, Logistics/Transport, Construction/Energy/Environment (renewables, nuclear), Banking/Insurance/Private Equity, Tech/Digital/SaaS/Cybersecurity, Social Economy/Hospitality/Media.
In which countries and regions does MANAGERIM operate?

We cover the main economic regions and major cities in each country, including: Germany (Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Cologne, Stuttgart, Düsseldorf) · Switzerland (Zurich, Geneva, Basel, Lausanne, Bern) · Italy (Milan, Rome, Turin, Bologna, Naples) · Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Bilbao, Seville) · Belgium (Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent) · France (Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Lille, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Strasbourg, Nantes, Rennes) · the Netherlands (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Eindhoven) · Luxembourg · Austria (Vienna) · Poland (Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław) · Portugal (Lisbon, Porto) — and the wider continent including the Nordics and Central & Eastern Europe, the United Kingdom & Ireland.
