Interim Management

Our aim is to provide flexible solutions that meet the unique needs of our clients and we have a wide range of options at our disposal.

There will be situations which arise where your organisation has insufficient in house HR resource to manage a major project or to meet a short term requirement such as a recruitment gap or maternity cover. QCG is one of the UK 's few specialist providers of senior HR professionals and thus is able to provide at very short notice experienced, tried and tested HR people who are over-qualified to perform the task in hand. And we can also supplement their contribution with specialist expertise where required from within our consultancy practice.

Interim managers can help at any stage of a project's life cycle, from start up to exit, and bring a number of benefits to clients:

• High quality seasoned executives and managers available within days;
• The wisdom that comes from experience, variety and repeat performances – the absence of a learning curve and thus reduced risk;
• An objectivity and single mindedness that is not available to the internal candidate;
• Action orientation – interim managers are only as good as their last assignment ;
• A flexible arrangement with no residual liabilities compared to the permanent hire.

We have built long-term relationships with a network of highly experienced individuals, who have repeatedly delivered for clients.

Of course there are also other situations when you do not require a full time person but wish to call upon the part time support of an experienced specialist. And there may be other occasions when you require a mixture of interim resource and external consultancy assistance. All of these services can be provided by QCG and underline our commitment to provide flexible and high quality services designed to meet the specific needs of our clients.

• Organisation change and development;
