Interim Professional

Interim management, or freelancing, refers to the temporary taking over of specialist and management tasks in businesses by external project managers. These specialists, interim professionals or freelancers, are called upon when internal resources are lacking or specific expertise is required. At Michael Page Contracting, we divide interim professionals into three categories depending on the tasks they are assigned:

1. Those brought in for specific projects.
2. Those brought in to bridge temporary management bottlenecks.
3. Those brought in to face challenging business situations.

Our interim professionals are independent specialists who generally work for a company for a minimum of three months and for any longer period that may subsequently be agreed. Compared with internal project managers, interim professionals offer a number of advantages, above all because they operate objectively vis-à-vis established structures.

We use our resources and expertise to find the perfect projects for you. We support you in the acquisition phase, but also during the current interim projects, so that you can concentrate fully on the content of your role.

1. Exclusive access to renowned interim projects: As an interim professional or freelancer, gaining access to high value projects is often a challenge. Our specialists all have extensive networks of businesses in a variety of sectors.
2. Time saving: The quest for suitable projects and potential employers can be very time-consuming. Our specialists take this process entirely out of your hands. We make sure we find the best fit for your professional skills and interests, so that you can concentrate on the essentials: Your professional expertise.
3. Career accompaniment and support: Our consultants have extensive knowledge and experience, enabling them to offer continuous tailor-made support and to help you realise the career targets you have set personally. From optimising your portfolio to preparing your application interview with our client, we’re there for you.
4. Network of experts: Thanks to our many years of experience in recruitment and selection, we have built up a very extensive network of experts. We put you in touch with the right people and establish valuable contacts that can stimulate your professional development.
5. Confidentiality and discretion: We handle your personal information in the strictest confidence. As an independent recruitment and selection agency, we understand how important it is to safeguard your privacy and protect your interests.
