Executive search
Roles we fill
No postings. No stacks of resumes. No chasing. You choose from a short list of people who have done this before.
No upfront fee. You pay only if you engage someone we present.
Interim Headhunters starts with the work behind this request: Pick the title closest to your need. If none fit exactly, tell us what the seat does and we will match the work, not the title.
This is what we do all day: place interim executives, interim managers and contract professionals.

How do you choose the right seat?
Interim Headhunters uses this roles index to separate executive decisions from the work needed to carry them out. Start with the responsibility your business cannot leave uncovered. A board asking for a credible cash forecast may need finance leadership. A controller waiting on unreconciled accounts may need accounting support instead. The person who prepares the work and the person who approves it are not interchangeable.
The roles index separates finance leadership from accounting delivery because signing a forecast is not the same responsibility as preparing a reconciliation. Read the family page before choosing a title if the reporting line is unsettled. It explains nearby seats without forcing your assignment into the most senior label. You can then open the individual role page for the checks that belong to that particular hire.
What should you compare within a role family?
A manager needs authority over the daily work, while a professional may need defined tasks and a reviewer. Compare those boundaries before comparing resumes. An impressive former department head can be the wrong choice for a hands-on backlog. A strong specialist can struggle if you expect them to manage a team without giving them decision rights.
The family hubs distinguish executive authority from manager supervision and professional delivery so you can scope the reporting relationship before approaching candidates. Tell us who will review the person's output and which decisions remain with your business. If a title is unfamiliar, use the A to Z index to find its alternate wording rather than opening another search for the same assignment.
What do we check across these seats?
Our qualification changes with the work. For a leader, we examine decisions they owned and how they handled disagreement with an owner. For a specialist, we discuss the records or systems they actually worked in. Ask what they personally completed, what their team completed and what another adviser supplied. That distinction often changes the shortlist.
The individual role pages explain the evidence needed for that seat, including the candidate's own contribution rather than a department-wide result. Use those pages to mark the essential requirement in your brief. Leave preferences separate. If you cannot find the title, send the responsibility and reporting line through the unlisted-role page. We can clarify the seat before deciding where to search.

Questions
Should I start with the family hub or an individual role?
Start with the family hub when you are deciding who should own the work. Open an individual role once the reporting line and responsibility are clear enough to compare candidates.
Does a more senior title give us a stronger shortlist?
Not necessarily. It can exclude people who do the exact work or attract leaders who expect authority your assignment does not provide. Scope the seat before raising its level.
Where should I look for another name for the same position?
Use the A to Z index for alternate wording. The linked role page explains the assignment behind the label, so you can check whether it really matches your need.
How are recruiting fees agreed?
No upfront fee. You pay only if you engage someone we present. We scope the assignment before quoting; the fee page explains our model.
How soon can we see options?
Availability depends on the assignment and the people who fit it. We qualify interest and commitments rather than promising a shortlist date before the search is scoped.
What if the scope grows?
Discuss new responsibilities before adding them to the engagement. Agree the priorities and record any change to the brief and terms.
Can we extend an engagement?
Discuss what remains unfinished and whether the same responsibility is still needed. Extensions depend on the person's commitments and the agreed engagement terms.
Can the appointment become permanent?
A permanent move can be discussed if both sides want it. Review the future role and the applicable agreement instead of assuming that temporary coverage automatically converts.
How is a confidential search handled?
Tell us what can be disclosed and whom we must not contact. We agree those boundaries before approaching people; do not send sensitive records with an initial brief.
What are the replacement terms?
We offer a candidate replacement guarantee on standard search agreements. The applicable period and exact terms are set out in the signed client recruiting agreement.
What do you not do?
We do not sell job-board reposting as a search or bill hourly for recruiting work. We do not take a retainer unless expressly agreed, and an introduction does not authorize an engagement.
