Interim Human Resources Manager
With our interim HR director profiles, you can ensure HR leadership during critical phases—personally selected and ready to start within 24–36 hours.
HR and recruiting teams often face multiple pressures at once: growing expectations from leadership regarding strategic HR work, operational bottlenecks in day-to-day business, ongoing system migrations to SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, or Personio, as well as a tight labor market that pushes traditional recruiting approaches to their limits. Added to this are demands related to cultural change, employee retention, and the digitization of HR processes—often with limited internal capacity and mounting time pressure.
In the HR & Recruiting division, we place experts and professionals who can take on responsibility immediately—whether as HR business partners, interim HR managers, HRIS specialists, or organizational developers. Typical areas of focus include: stabilizing the HR organization during periods of transformation; establishing and optimizing recruiting processes; implementing and supporting HR systems; developing performance and talent management strategies; and supporting cultural and change initiatives. In doing so, we focus not only on professional expertise but also on ensuring a good personal fit with your team, your corporate culture, and your stakeholders—so that the collaboration works from day one.
Whether you need short-term operational HR support, expertise in HR digitization, or strategic guidance in talent management within the HR & recruiting field—here you’ll find role profiles tailored precisely to your situation. Fast, flexible, and perfectly suited to your needs.

In HR & Recruiting, time is often a critical factor: vacancies in key positions, ongoing system implementations, or unplanned departures require quick, qualified support. Within 24 to 36 hours, we’ll introduce you to hand-picked, independent experts who can immediately take on responsibilities and make an impact within your organization.
Our curated network connects you with candidates who not only demonstrate professional excellence but also align with your company’s culture and values. Areas of expertise include HR business partnering, recruiting process optimization, HRIS implementation and administration, performance and succession management, as well as organizational and cultural development. The result: stable HR structures, shorter time-to-hire, higher employee satisfaction, and an HR function that consistently meets the company’s needs.
Short-staffing situations in the HR team—whether due to unexpected departures, parental leave, or concurrent transformation projects—are rarely predictable in the long term. We respond to your needs and quickly connect you with vetted HR experts who can hit the ground running: from bridging gaps in day-to-day HR operations to leading projects for HRIS rollouts or recruiting campaigns during growth phases.
Our network includes experienced HR business partners, interim HR managers, HRIS specialists for SAP HCM, SuccessFactors, Workday, and Personio, as well as experts in talent management, organizational development, and cultural transformation. Each profile is carefully vetted—for proven project success, industry knowledge, and the ability to operate effectively in complex stakeholder environments.
HR challenges are as unique as the companies behind them: corporate structures require different profiles than mid-sized family-owned businesses or startups in the scaling phase. We don’t just match based on technical expertise; we also take into account corporate culture, leadership style, team dynamics, and the specific scope of responsibility—so your new HR expert can be effective from day one.
Our HR experts don’t come to analyze—they come to deliver. Whether it’s a shorter time-to-hire, the successful go-live of an HR system, a stabilized employee retention rate, or the implementation of performance management structures: The professionals in our network are focused on achieving measurable improvements in your HR function and establishing sustainable structures.
READY FOR THE BEST EXPERTS?
In HR & Recruiting, speed is often the key to success. Whether a critical HR business partner position needs to be filled on short notice, an HRIS rollout on SuccessFactors or Workday has stalled, recruiting processes need to be scaled during a growth phase, a cultural transformation program requires expert guidance, or the performance management system needs to be revamped—in all these situations, every day counts. Within just 24 to 36 hours, we’ll introduce you to hand-picked, independent experts who are a good professional and personal fit for your team and setup. This is how we combine speed with quality—tailored to your specific needs. The result: an HR function that remains stable even during challenging phases, retains your employees, and actively supports your company’s goals.
We work with you to analyze your current HR situation: What vacancies or bottlenecks exist? Which projects are stalled? Which systems need to be implemented or stabilized? In doing so, we take into account your corporate culture, management’s expectations, the team structure, and the specific scope of responsibilities—so that we find not only the right professional profile but also the expert who is truly the best fit for you.
Within 24 to 36 hours, we’ll introduce you to hand-picked HR experts who are a professional and personal fit for your situation—whether they’re HR business partners, HRIS specialists, talent management experts, or organizational developers. We clarify expectations, scope of responsibilities, and cultural fit upfront so that the collaboration runs smoothly from day one.
Our HR experts deliver measurable results: stable HR structures, reduced time-to-hire, successful system implementations, and enhanced employee retention. They work closely with your team and leadership and leave behind structures, processes, and expertise that will benefit your HR function in the long term.
We typically present you with suitable HR candidates within 24 to 36 hours of receiving your request. This applies both to operational assignments—such as filling an HR business partner role on short notice or covering a temporary opening in the HR department—and to specialized project roles, such as HRIS specialists for SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, or Personio. We clarify your specific needs, the scope of responsibility, and the expectations of the relevant stakeholders with you in advance so that the expert we present can hit the ground running and no valuable time is wasted on onboarding.
External HR experts are typically brought in when internal capacity is insufficient or specific expertise is lacking: in the event of unplanned departures among HR leadership, during parental leave or sick leave replacements, during transformation and integration phases following M&A; when introducing new HR systems such as SuccessFactors or Workday, when establishing or professionalizing recruiting structures, and when developing and implementing talent or performance management concepts. We’ll discuss with you which profile and engagement model—project-based or as an interim solution—best suits your situation.
For us, professional qualifications are the starting point, not the sole distinguishing feature. When matching candidates, we also take into account corporate culture, leadership style, team dynamics, and stakeholder expectations. An experienced HR business partner who has succeeded in a corporate environment brings different strengths to the table than someone who has worked in a medium-sized family-owned business or a fast-growing startup. We therefore conduct a structured briefing with you to understand these dimensions and present only profiles that are a good fit for the situation—both professionally and personally.
Yes—the candidates in our network are geared toward taking on real responsibility, not just providing advice. This means: An interim HR manager leads the team, makes decisions, and is accountable to senior management. An HRIS specialist takes on project responsibility for the system rollout. A talent management expert independently develops and implements strategies. During the briefing, we work with you to clarify the desired scope of responsibility and ensure that the expert we present is precisely suited for the role and is granted the necessary decision-making authority.
Both roles involve operational responsibility but differ in their focus: An HR Business Partner typically acts as a strategic sparring partner for executives, supports change processes, and aligns HR initiatives with corporate goals—often within a defined functional area of responsibility. An interim HR manager, on the other hand, usually assumes full managerial responsibility for an HR unit, including responsibility for the team and the budget. We’ll work with you to determine which role best fits your situation—based on your organizational structure, existing HR capacity, and the specific goals of the assignment.
The clearer the briefing, the more precise the match. It’s helpful to provide details about the specific task or vacancy, the desired assignment period and scope, the company culture and team size, the relevant stakeholders and their expectations, the HR systems in use or planned system changes, as well as any existing internal resources. Even if not all details have been finalized yet, we’d be happy to start with a brief initial consultation, during which we’ll work together to clarify your needs and define the next steps—so that you can receive the first suitable profiles within 24 to 36 hours.
