Interim Management roles involve temporary managerial positions at organisations embarking on new projects or those reviving sluggish ones to fast, revenue-generating ventures. Talents are also hired to fill in leadership gaps arising out of a departure or termination of a senior executive.

Like the term itself, these roles are short-term owing to their specificity or duration. Companies hiring interim executives look at experienced senior managers who can assimilate into the work flow almost immediately.

Economic slumps also force companies to consider temporary staffing for discrete projects than hire permanent appointees.
