Our clients share their experience:
”
Interim CFO · Interim cover in an international context
The sudden departure of our France CFO in the middle of the year-end close. Within a few days, MANAGERIM mobilised a senior profile at ease in an international environment: regaining control of group reporting, securing the close and stabilising cash flow, without disruption.
Group Finance DirectorPharmaceutical Group (international) · ~400 employees · Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
”
Interim HR Director · Restructuring
A sensitive restructuring assignment at one of our subsidiaries, with a significant social dimension. The interim manager skilfully led the dialogue with employee representatives and structured the redundancy plan in a calm climate, while preserving HR continuity.
Group HR DirectorIndustrial mid-cap · Mechanical engineering · subsidiary · Grand Est
”
Interim Plant Director · Managerial cover & performance
We needed to ensure cover at our key site while relaunching its performance. The manager, with solid food-industry experience, ran a rapid diagnostic, re-energised the teams and rolled out a Lean action plan: OEE, service levels and productivity all markedly improved, with the 6-month targets achieved.
Owner — Food SMEIndustrial site of ~180 people · Brittany
”
Interim Managing Director · Post-Merger Integration France & Germany
For one of our MedTech holdings, we needed a seasoned executive to lead the post-acquisition integration between France and Germany. MANAGERIM seconded a profile with an international and sector background that fit perfectly: leadership, M&A experience, due diligence and PMI, a clear roadmap, secured synergies, a successful transition.

Frequently asked questions
Everything about interim management
Answers to the questions our clients most frequently ask about the interim manager role.
What is an interim manager?
An interim manager (also called a transition manager) is an experienced executive or manager, external to the company, mandated for a limited period (typically 3 to 18 months) to steer a critical situation, a transformation, an interim cover or a strategic project. They join the organisation chart, take operational decisions and deliver concrete results, with a strong focus on execution.
Interim management or transition management: what's the difference?
They refer to the same concept. "Interim Management" is the Anglo-Saxon term used in Northern Europe (UK, Netherlands, Germany, Scandinavia) and increasingly in international groups, while "Management de Transition" is the French term. An interim manager is therefore a transition manager, and an interim CFO is a DAF de transition. MANAGERIM operates under both terminologies interchangeably.
When should you call on an interim manager?
A company calls on an interim manager when it needs to manage quickly a role vacancy (unexpected departure, sick leave, maternity leave), a crisis (quality, supply chain, reputation), a major transformation (M&A integration, digitalisation, scale-up), a performance recovery, or a high-stakes project (ERP/SAP deployment, plant construction, restructuring, redundancy plan).
How much does an interim manager cost (daily rate)?
The cost of an interim manager is based on a daily rate that depends on several factors: level of responsibility (Top Management vs Middle Management), complexity of the assignment, rarity of the profile and urgency. It should always be assessed against the expected return on investment and the "cost of inaction" (a prolonged role vacancy, a delayed transformation, or a worsening crisis). A premium firm like MANAGERIM supports you through this cost-benefit analysis.
What is the difference between interim management and traditional recruitment?
The interim manager steps in quickly (within 24 to 72 hours at MANAGERIM), for a temporary assignment (3 to 18 months), with an immediate operational objective and remuneration via a daily rate under a B2B services contract. Traditional recruitment aims at a lasting permanent appointment, with a much longer lead time (2 to 6 months). The two approaches are complementary: an interim manager can cover the interim during a lengthy recruitment (Accelerated Executive Search is also available at MANAGERIM).
What is the difference with a consultant?
A consultant analyses, recommends and produces deliverables (reports, presentations, action plans). They remain in the position of an external expert. The interim manager joins the organisation chart, takes decisions, executes operationally and leads the teams. They bear responsibility for the result and move the situation forward concretely. Their diagnosis is deliberately rapid in order to switch quickly into action.
How long does an assignment last?
An interim management mandate (assignment) is, by definition, limited in time. Its duration generally ranges from 3 to 18 months, with an average duration of 9 months at MANAGERIM. The duration depends on the situation (urgency, complexity), the scope entrusted, the level of transformation expected and the exit path (permanent recruitment, upskilling of the teams, end of project).
Why use a firm rather than a freelancer?
An interim management firm like MANAGERIM brings five major advantages: (1) accelerated sourcing from a qualified pool of 20,000+ managers, (2) a rigorous assessment of the profile by experts (interviews, references, cultural fit), (3) "Shadow Management" assignment monitoring to ensure objectives are met, (4) a replacement guarantee in the event of failure, (5) a secure B2B contractual framework with no HR administrative burden.
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.
