• We conduct a thorough search.

• We present our shortlist: our speed of response is rapid and tailored.

• We help in the assignment discussions.

• We set up the assignment.

• We work with you in ensuring that the assignment works well for your organisation and that your goals are achieved.

• Russam GMS assignments can be full-time and/or part-time. Research points to part-time assignments representing about one third of the market.

• We see the differentiation between interim management and management consultancy as superficial – Russam GMS finds senior business professionals to the agreed profile set by our clients – whatever the task. What matters is the outcome and the price.

• Research shows that over half the interim managers currently in the market would take a permanent job if the offer were right. This is a fluid, pragmatic market and the commitment comes from the way the assignment is set up. Intelligent buyers are resourceful. Intelligent interim managers are open-minded. They are also opportunists.

• Interim management is an ideal route for SMEs to access independent or non-executive directors or senior executives delivering similar services. With six offices in the UK there is always a Russam GMS Principal within reasonable reach to meet your requirements.
