Executives Online found an interim Marketing Manager for one of the world's most successful receivables management company within just six days.

The receivables management company's customers range from pan-European and global blue chips through to SMEs across most sectors, and services range from collecting overdue cash to running sales ledgers on an outsourcing basis.

Newly appointed Business Development Director, Shaun Purrington, wanted to implement a brand and service initiative and identified an urgent need for an interim marketing manager to help put this in place.

"We needed someone to come in at very short notice to increase marketing investment, prepare a marketing plan, support a change management process and improve communications with existing customers." A simple Web search led Purrington to Executives Online who impressed him with their swift service, producing a short list of three high-calibre candidates in just three days.

"They understood the urgency and screened candidates for availability," Purrington explains. "Interviews were conducted and the new interim marketing manager started the following week. The whole process took six days." Purrington explains the benefits of the interim option for executing specific projects and plans:

"A temporary manager tends to be very task orientated and is able to avoid the usual distractions, as well as bringing a fresh perspective. The interim route is an ideal way of quickly tapping into specific skills and experience."
