Veredus Interim Management
New Corporate Member
We have pleasure in welcoming Veredus Interim Management as corporate members of the Society, and we have invited them to describe to us the work they do. The article below is their response.At monthly interim management workshops which Veredus organise for individuals thinking about a career in interim management or consultancy, one specific piece of advice given is about maximising the access to potential opportunities. We encourage all would-be or established interims to think carefully about all the possible sources of opportunities and these include using intermediaries such as Veredus, to find suitable assignments.
Veredus Interim Management are part of Veredus Executive Resourcing (formerly PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Executive Resourcing), the market leader for recruitment of senior managers and executives in the public sector in the UK.
Being part of such an established and renowned organisation gives Veredus interim managers access to a vast network of organisations, contacts and exciting and diverse opportunities. Intermediaries serve 25% of the market in the UK and demand for their services is growing but how do you know who is best placed to serve you?
At Veredus we recommend that you look for the following:
- Partnership approach
- Professionalism, responsiveness, honesty and respect
- Interesting and challenging assignments
- Customer focus
- Supportive and sensitive mentoring/ monitoring
- Efficient administrative back-up and prompt payment
- Opportunities for networking with other Interim Managers
- Provision of information to assist your personal development
Using an intermediary doesn?t mean you cannot undertake your own client work or work for other intermediaries. It is simply another avenue of opportunity and access to professionals who will represent your interests and promote your experience to a wider range of organisations.
