Is your organisation prepared for what's next?
Nearly 70% of HR professionals don't think so. According to Korn Ferry, most organisations lack the right leadership to tackle the changes and uncertainties the market demands. As economic uncertainty collides with industry disruptions, the need for agile, visionary leadership has never been more critical. However, finding these leaders has become much harder - a recent Economic Times article talked about a 9-12 month search process for CEOs and CXOs!
Since 2022, there's been a staggering 170% surge in demand for on-demand leadership roles across critical functions like finance, HR, and technology. And they are adding value, with 85% of companies that turned to interim leaders report faster project execution and enhanced organisational agility.
The message is clear: there is a need to bring agility into leadership hiring strategies, to best serve an organisation’s interest.
From onboarding leaders to manage periods of transition to providing cover during an extended absence/sudden departure of key professionals, there are several strategic reasons for organisations to leverage interim leaders and we describe a few below.
Today's business world is unpredictable. According to PwC, 72% of leaders admit they can't adjust their workforce fast enough to meet shifting market demands. Interim leaders bring in the flexibility you need, hitting the ground running and permitting organisations to deliver while permanent solutions are found.
Navigating Transitions with Confidence
In times of mergers, acquisitions, or internal restructuring, Interim talent with 15 to 30+ years of leadership experience can provide the clarity needed during uncertain times. They offer a steady hand, guiding your business toward long-term growth while managing ambiguity. This enables you to concentrate on your strategic goals without jeopardising operational efficiency. In such situations interim talent offers access to high quality leadership at a time professionals might be wary of joining an organisation full time.
Interim leaders often offer deep, specialised expertise that can be tough to find in traditional hiring markets. When critical projects can't wait for a lengthy recruitment process, interim leaders step in to drive key growth initiatives and ensure effective operational delivery. In short, they ensure your business keeps momentum.
