What are the major benefits of using an interim professional?
Typically, if a hiring decision is rushed, it can sometimes lead to hiring the wrong candidate. When an organization hires an interim professional, that organization gains someone with the experience to navigate challenging situations. At the same time, that interim professional will possess a strong municipal background and progressive career path, enabling them to bring their leadership to other departments as well.
In some cases, it is helpful to bring someone in to assess the organization. If your organization has a culture where it is possible to have an open, honest dialogue, it opens the door to receiving candid feedback that will help guide the organization into the future.
