Becoming a BIE Interim Executive

"I tend to overhire: you must have someone who is demonstrably going to succeed quickly in the role. they need to be particularly sharp, adaptable, have great team skills, and also have an understanding of how private equity works: especially around cash and speed." Joe Sinyor, ex Operational Managing Director, Terra Firma Capital Partners.

BIE’s reputation is built on its ability to provide top-quality interim executives at very short notice. We generally only present one or two interims to the Client, so our choice clearly needs to be right, first time.

We are selective. BIE consultants spend 50% of their time interviewing and re-interviewing candidates. Over the last 17 years, we estimate we have seen 75,000 CVs and held 25,000 face-to-face interviews. Our register contains only around 1,500 professional interims.

With increasing market awareness and acceptance, the demand for senior interims is growing in both scale and complexity. BIE is constantly seeking new talent. We want to hear from all prospective candidates that believe they have the necessary enthusiasm, energy and ability.

So you want to be a successful interim?
A Client will hire an interim executive when their organisation is faced with a problem or an opportunity that requires immediate attention. They are looking for someone who has seen it and done it before - someone who would be operating entirely in their own comfort zone - immediately credible and totally competent. More

Interviews - two perspectives
For most people, interviews do not happen at regular, evenly spaced periods in their life; they sometimes come along in flurries with long gaps in between, during which time interview skills can become rusty. Here we look at two aspects of the process that can be overlooked : the stages leading up to the face-to-face meeting and the importance of personal presentation. More

Differences between PAYE and Interim positions
How does being an interim executive differ from employment? Anyone considering a ‘new career’ as an interim executive should understand it is not for the faint-hearted. Rather, it is a privileged position that affords an unparalleled opportunity to drive through change and to make a real difference. More
