Management consultants in demand
Share
Demand for management consultants is set to rise, according to an industry report. ‘Quarterly Trends in Consultancy’, produced by Sourceforconsulting.com, found that financial services companies expect to raise their spending on management consultants between now and April 2010, some by as much as 50%.
Rupert Dobson, interim practice manager, at Hoggett Bowers, told Recruiter that this is in line with the results of an Interim Management Association Ipsos/MORI survey which showed that between Q1 and Q2 this year there was an 11% increase in demand for members’ services.
Dobson adds that project and programme-based tasks, traditionally the territory of the big management consultancies make up a third of interim managers’ activities.

Interesting article...
I have been an interim manager for 15 years and I totally agree with the content of the article.
I work as an independent interim manager and I have delivered over 20 client projects across 60 UK finest brands todate. 97% of my clients are blue chip companies.
The recession has increased the demand for good interim managers with solid track record and this is set to rise for many years. Interim management service is a lucrative business for any agency thinking about moving into this sector.
I recommend all recruitment agencies to incorporate the demand in interim management as part of their core business service. Not to miss out !
The recession has changed the traditional way recruitment agencies make their profit. It used to be just providing full time and temporary services..
There is a rise in sourcing interim managers on fixed contracts- for well established recruitment agencies.It is like the icing on the cake.
It does require a specialist team to deliver this unique service to both clients and candidates- as expectations are quite high.The service delivery has to be first class too !
There is a great difference in core skill sets and deliverables. Interim managers are not temps !
The sky is the limit for any recruitment agencies looking to make additional profit .and as a way out of surviving the recession and beyond.
An interim manager daily rates vary from £100 - £500, £500 - £1000, £1000-£1500, £1500-£2,500 and over.
There are interim managers who earn £2500 per day, work for a few months and take the rest of the year off. In comparison to a candidate who is in perm work - this is not possible.
If you are a recruitment agency and looking to branch into interim management or to review a profile of an interim manager, visit:

I welcome enquiries from both agencies and clients.
Happy to provide an insight from sides!
