"...the last thing we've got time for is getting a temp up to speed, and then they'll go and leave. I can't see a solution"

Start Yesterday Ltd fulfills finance & commercial interim manager roles in the Coventry, Warwickshire and surrounding area.

A good interim manager:

• Is not a temp or a contractor requiring your supervision
• Is an adaptable, natural problem solver
• Within hours, has you feeling they started yesterday, if not days ago
• Has a skill set that sees them across industry/enterprise sector boundaries
• Has held senior roles requiring strict confidentiality
• Achieves best results when pitched as somewhat over-qualified
• Blends in, relating well to all levels of staff. Is credible in cross-functional situations
• Can bring fresh perspectives from a variety of backgrounds
• Leaves you to get on with your job
• Can both think strategically and wrestle with operational detail
• Is not "filling-in" until a permanent job draws them away
• Will benefit current staff by exposure to different experiences & skills
• Can tactfully challenge conventions as a naïve outsider
• Focuses on business needs, not clouded by internal politics or career concerns
• Doesn't pretend to know it all. Enjoys interim work as continuing personal development
• Is free of prescriptive consulting house methodologies & revenue targets
• Charges by the hour/day through a limited company, avoiding employee commitment issues
• Stands comparison to the full cost of an employee when divided by available working hours
  (include benefits, pension, recruitment costs etc. Allow for holidays, courses etc)
• Lives off a building reputation for delivering defined objectives
• Will decline your assignment if they think they can't contribute rapidly

At least, that's the approach & motivation of any Interim Manager Start Yesterday provides
