What you can expect
When a key post falls vacant, the risk is rarely just the empty seat. It is the business plan that stops moving, the compliance oversight that slips and the pressure that lands on everyone else.
We start with what the organisation actually needs, which is not always what the job description says. For an Essex district council under a C4 regulatory judgement, eight weeks of recruitment through formal routes had not found an HRA accountant. Reframed as a strategic interim role, a fully vetted interim was secured within four days, and the six-week contract was extended to around six months.
For a London borough’s property services, CVs arrived within 24 to 48 hours and experienced contractors across project management, technical surveying and fire safety were mobilised within two to three weeks. The partnership has continued for over two years.
