Candidate rates
Interim Managers will typically calculate their daily rates according to a number of factors, including:
- Duration of assignment - Interims will often be more flexible on rates for longer assignments which offer a high degree of financial security.
- Location - Interims usually charge a premium for traveling long distances and staying away from home.
- Length of track record as an Interim Manager - More experienced Interims can be more effective at negotiating higher rates as employers have greater confidence in their ability to deliver.
- Market conditions and level of competition from other Interim Managers - During times of low demand for Interims or where there is a high degree of competition between Interims for assignments there is a tendency for greater flexibility on rates in order to secure positions.
- Level of satisfaction gained from assignment - Interims are usually prepared to accept lower rates for assignments which are deemed to be interesting and provide job satisfaction.
- Amount of CV enhancing experience gained - If assignments add significant value to an Interim's CV and increase the chances of obtaining further work then greater flexibility of rates is often demonstrated.
