CLIENT NEEDS
The client contacted FIT in NETWORK ® following the departure of its secretary general.
Given the long delays in recruiting a replacement, the company contacted us for an interim management mission to replace him while waiting for the recruitment.
The main tasks will be the organisation of the annual closing of accounts with the president, the preparation of budgets in relation with the partners and the day-to-day financial management.
The manager will also supervise the international subsidiaries and participate in external growth projects.
Finally, in order to make the position permanent, it will be necessary to participate in the recruitment process for a permanent position.

Our manager, whose objective was to replace the secretary general while waiting for a recruitment, was able to implement the following actions:
- Realization of the annual closing within the deadlines, and with the organization of the whole associated legal;
- Implementation of the annual budget with the setting of commercial and financial objectives with each partner of the organization;

After review by our client of all the applications received, our interim manager was finally recruited with our agreement by the client!
CLIENT FEEDBACK ON THE MISSION
"FIT in NETWORK managed to present us with 3 shortlisted candidates for our needs in the space of a week.
We appreciated their reactivity and professionalism from the proposal and meeting organisation phase.
Throughout the assignment, the regular meetings with the assignment director enabled us to clearly define the objectives and to ensure that the interim manager focused on the essentials.
While carrying out the assignment, the seconded manager took part in the interviews to find the candidate in complete objectivity.
As the months went by, it finally appeared that the ideal profile was already with us and we decided, in agreement with FIT in NETWORK, to recruit the interimmanager.
As this was our first successful experience with an interim manager, we will undoubtedly use them again in the event of a new management vacancy in the future. "
