Charities ‘hiring interim managers to assist with projects’
Charities are increasingly looking towards bringing senior managers on a short-term basis, a new study shows.
In research carried out by Russam GMS, it was revealed that just under a fifth of interim managers working for voluntary groups claim to have been hired to carry out fundraising roles.
Meanwhile, 24 per cent have been brought in by charitable organisations to "turn around" a specific project, with a further 14 per cent hired in a general project management capacity, ThirdSector.co.uk reports.
Stephen Brooker, chair of the charities practice at Russam, claimed that as charities look to take on high-level staff for a short period of time they "can employ somebody they could not otherwise afford or be able to attract".
However, 82 per cent of interim managers surveyed believe there is an overall skills shortage in the third sector.
Such news might be of interest to employers working for charities and voluntary groups looking to make best use of talent management.
Earlier this month, research by the Boston Consulting Group and the World Federation of Personnel Management Associations showed that human resource teams view talent management as their most important task over the course of this year.
