Interim Placement Service

Access to a pool of highly experienced executive leaders and senior professionals, ready for immediate short-term or longer-term local government assignments.

Experts ready to step in

We have access to a pool of highly experienced executive leaders and senior-level professionals who are ready for an immediate short-term or longer-term assignment.

Highly experienced executives, on a long-term or short-term assignment, available to start immediately. Our interims can independently and carefully settle the organisation and provide the necessary leadership. They transition smoothly into high-workflow roles and provide a detailed report upon completion for the new incumbent.

Our work across Australia tells us that times are moving quickly, and managers are moving even faster. Whether through retirement, organisation change or the greater mobility of the workforce, jobs for life are uncommon. When managers move on to other ventures they leave a temporary gap in the management team that must be filled.

Many councils see the advantages of bringing in a highly experienced leader or professional who can independently and carefully settle the organisation and provide the necessary leadership and expertise.

We have access to a pool of leaders and professionals, with a range of skills and abilities, across all areas of local government, available for immediate short-term (weeks) or long-term (months) assignments, including:

  • Assets & Infrastructure
  • CEO/General Manager
  • Corporate
  • Engineering
  • Finance
  • Governance
  • Human Resources
  • Planning
