How We Help
Placement of Top Talent
Our interim executive search process uses a global executive network and proven executive placement methodology to provide fast interim leadership placement. These interim management professionals and temporary executives are ready to step in and produce results from their first week.
Strategic Leadership
Our interim executives aren't temporary placeholders—they're business leaders who take ownership from day one. These strategic interim managers have successfully led organizations through transitions, managed transformations, and delivered measurable results. Unlike consultants who provide recommendations, these leaders personally ensure implementation and success.
Objective Perspective
External interim executives offer complete independence from company politics and internal relationships. These interim leaders can assess situations clearly, make difficult decisions, and spot opportunities that insiders might miss through objective interim management—particularly valuable during change management and transformation projects.
Flexibility
With executive interim management, you benefit from contract-based leadership tailored to your timeline and specific needs. Whether you need short-term executives for a three-month project or flexible interim management for longer transformations, our contract executives scale with your requirements, eliminating long-term commitments while providing immediate access to senior talent through flexible executive staffing that adapts as circumstances change.
How Does It Work
Our process is simple and efficient, based on a three-way collaboration between you, the interim executive, and the Stanton Chase partner.
Needs assessment
We conduct a thorough assessment to understand your specific needs and challenges, and define the objectives and expectations of the assignment.
Candidate selection
We carefully identify and present up to three highly qualified interim executives whose expertise aligns with your specific challenges and assignment. Our recommendations include only candidates who are immediately available to step in and deliver results.
Deployment
We ensure a smooth and swift transition of the interim executive into your organization, and provide the necessary support and guidance.
Ongoing support
We offer continuous support and communication to ensure the interim executive integrates smoothly and delivers results. Additionally, we conduct regular feedback sessions and progress reviews to keep the assignment on track.
