What Does Interim Mean?

The term interim has gained traction in Danish workplaces. The challenge of retaining, recruiting, and attracting employees remains pertinent, while many companies simultaneously face the necessity to adapt to new market conditions and unforeseen events. This increases the need for additional hands to quickly and efficiently tackle new tasks, and this is where interim comes into play.

What is Interim?

Interim as a concept refers to a temporary period or a temporary role within an organisation. An interim appointment involves a person temporarily stepping into a position to address an urgent need, drive changes, or provide expertise during a transition period. This can occur in relation to leadership changes, project management, or when a company faces strategic challenges requiring specialised expertise.

Interim recruitment – a strategic solution

Interim recruitment is about finding the right person who can step into a critical role at short notice. The process focuses on identifying candidates with the necessary experience and competences who can deliver results from day one. This is particularly valuable during periods of transformation or when there is a need for strong leadership. It can also be relevant during organisational changes, mergers, acquisitions, etc.

Interim appointments offer several advantages

Firstly, it provides companies with the flexibility to respond quickly to changes without committing to long-term employment. Secondly, interim professionals can often offer a fresh perspective or contribute with specialised knowledge that may be difficult to find internally. Finally, during periods of uncertainty or large projects, an interim solution can ensure continuity and stability.

Interim is therefore a strategic, flexible, and effective solution that can help your company navigate complex changes and seize new opportunities. Whether it involves leadership, project management, or specialised consultancy, an interim position can provide the necessary expertise during critical periods.

What does interim mean for your team?

Hiring an interim professional can have a positive effect on the existing team. It can bring new perspectives and energy that can inspire and motivate permanent employees who have likely been working through peak periods.

At the same time, it can help transfer knowledge and competences to the team that can be valuable long after the interim period ends.
