Short-term contract, long-term impact

We’ll find you the right interim specialist, for rapid results against the clock. Get a flexible boost to achieve your goals, without long-term ties.

Interim recruitment

Strategic short-term recruitment (aka an “interim hire”) can pump in some fresh perspective, plug a skills gap, and help your organisation thrive even through turbulent times.

Perhaps there’s a project you’re itching to get going, or maybe you just need someone to take the reins while you make longer-term plans. We’ve got the connections to find you experienced candidates who are at their happiest thrown headfirst (okay feet first, ideally) into demanding, dynamic, and challenging environments.

We’ve parachuted our interims into multiple roles, including:

CEO, Director, Finance, Marketing, Operations, Fundraising, Project Manager, Human Resources and many, many, more.

There are multiple benefits to bringing in an interim, and we often find the burst of new energy and know-how has a ripple effect across the organisation.

Get in touch if you’d like us to take the effort out of finding your interim hero.

Case studies

St Mary le Strand

RedR

London City Mission

Charisma embarked on a rigorous search, meticulously evaluating potential candidates from across the diverse realms of heritage, culture, and project management. The firm's consultants sought an individual who not only possessed the necessary skills and experience but also embodied St Mary's values of innovation, inclusivity, and a deep respect for its rich heritage.

To uncover the most exceptional talent, Charisma employed a multi-pronged approach, encompassing targeted advertising campaigns, strategic headhunting, and a thorough search of its extensive network. This comprehensive strategy ensured that Charisma cast a wide net, attracting a diverse pool of highly qualified candidates.
