Contract & Interim Case Study | Appointing an Interim HR Transformation Director for an SME Organisation
Role: HR Transformation Director
Industry: Professional Services
Location: Ireland
Discovery
Our client was undertaking a large-scale HR and workforce planning transformation as part of a wider organisational restructure. The business required an experienced HR transformation leader to drive change, maintain alignment with commercial objectives and manage complex stakeholder expectations.
Given the urgency of the programme, the role needed to be filled on a day-rate contract basis, with flexibility to extend beyond the initial term. Identifying a leader with the right blend of transformation experience, availability and cultural fit was critical to maintaining project momentum.
Reach
We leveraged our senior HR consultant network alongside targeted headhunting to identify interim professionals with proven experience delivering large-scale HR transformation and workforce planning programmes. Market insights on availability, contract structuring and day-rate expectations were used to position the role competitively and attract high-calibre candidates.
This approach enabled rapid access to experienced transformation consultants operating in the interim market.
Assessment
Candidates were assessed for depth of experience in HR transformation, workforce planning and change management, alongside their ability to operate effectively in complex stakeholder environments. Priority was given to professionals with immediate availability to meet the client’s tight timelines.
HRM supported structured candidate introductions, detailed role briefings and contract negotiation to ensure clarity and a smooth onboarding process.
Impact
A specialist HR transformation consultant was successfully placed within 72 hours. The consultant brought immediate expertise in large-scale change delivery, enabling the organisation to maintain momentum and progress its transformation programme without disruption.
