Interim Management
To hire new employees is often a challenging task. You have to fill open job positions with people you do not know. You will trust them with different subjects and tasks; you teach them certain procedures and expect solutions even you deal with strangers. How do you select people who will work in your company to play a vital role in the flow of your operation?
Usually many different grades of positions assemble the often complicate mechanism of a company’s human recourse structure. Some of the positions do not alter a large process of a corporation. If a janitor does not perform well, it will not have any significant effect on the overall performance of the company. If the CEO of a large corporation opts for the wrong decisions, it can happen that he has to be replaced no matter if he is even the co-founder of this company. Things like this are not uncommon as the sample of Yahoo has demonstrated in the recent past. In general the higher the rank the more the person that holds this occupation, is in the position to turn things around for the better of the worse. With other words, you want to pay much more attention to hiring a CEO than a worker on the assembly belt.
While hiring laborers you can rely on your “gut feeling”, on resumes on referrals and on interviews to select the person you need to fill in.
When it comes to hiring superior positions however, you need to apply different kind of knowledge and usually the know-how of regular human resource staff is not trained to evaluate candidates for these openings.
Recruiting companies usually are not different from your own skills. Green-Park, the leading Interim management firm in UK is much more than your average recruiting company and delivers exactly that where other recruiters fail: Hiring the people which run the company and that leave a significant impact on the corporation.
