Interim Manager: the human factor in full force!

Globalisation, accelerating economic changes, work transformations, digital and environmental transitions, societal responsibility, and of course the impacts of the Covid crisis... organisations are at a crossroads. However, situations may differ radically, some having suffered heavily from the health crisis while others have had to face unexpected growth.

In all cases, human resources management is a strategic issue when it comes to meeting both development and economic needs: what skills should be prioritized when faced with staff cuts or recruitment freezes? Where to find expertise when Covid has transformed managers' expectations and upset work habits? Which profiles should be recruited to boost business? Should we recruit or resort to more flexible forms of interim management?

In this generalized uncertainty, one constant appears nevertheless. Organisations must be able to rely on agile managers, experts in their field, strongly committed to performance, adaptable to organisations and teams, but also capable of apprehending new work complexity, taking into account constantly revised objectives and changing contexts, accompanying transitions, managing local and international dimensions, responding to the most specific problems, federating teams, etc. In other words, the company must find five-legged sheep!

Meeting the needs of both Google and Axa

A European player in interim management and recruitment, IMfinity is involved in all corporate functions: management, legal, finance, HR, IS, communication/marketing, compliance...,

With a new request being processed every day, the number and diversity of missions carried out by IMfinity are very broad and meet all types of needs, from the most traditional to the most atypical. Whatever the request, each situation is unique, complex, and more and more often unprecedented, and requires a perfectly adapted, hand-sewn solution! In the same way, managers are evolving towards more flexible, sometimes hybrid profiles combining skills that were previously highly unlikely to be combined.

It is through its ability to deal with this complexity thatIMfinity is successfully working with both Google and AXA .

Managers with ever sharper profiles

The health crisis has reshuffled the cards in an economic environment that is proving increasingly fluid. Companies are adjusting their strategies to increasingly tighter timeframes. As a result, Human Resources departments are now undergoing a period of permanent adaptation and have no choice but to be more flexible, having to implement recovery plans, crisis plans, and departure plans, and sometimes at the same time attracting profiles that are increasingly sharp and well-honed to lead transformations, remobilise teams, and reorganise activities.

IMfinity supports them with a unique approach. The uniqueness of its approach lies in a culture of excellence, responsiveness and precision in every response it provides, whether for recruitment or interim management, for the organization or the manager.

IMfinity's expertise guarantees a perfect understanding of the demand from a technical point of view but also from a cultural point of view. It is based on a deep knowledge of organisations, their dynamics and their objectives, and on the strength of its human capital.

The power of our human capital at the service of yours

Relying on IMfinity means relying on the power of analysis and reflection, the power of selection and the power of the service provided.

  • Power of analysis and reflection: IMfinity associates are seasoned professionals, having worked both in the corporate world and as interim managers.
    Experts in their field, their vision and understanding of the company and its operational, organizational and managerial issues are deepened and mastered from the inside by their extensive experience. Open to the visible and invisible cultures of organizations, they have the ability to grasp the deepest cultural specificities of a company from the outside.
By listening carefully, without preconceived ideas, and with great empathy, each associate strives to understand the needs and specificities of his client (and this also applies to the manager), as precisely as possible.

This acuity is the key to finding the most relevant professional to meet the expected operational and managerial challenges, but also perfectly adapted to the company's culture. Bringing these two dimensions together is essential for IMfinity, and a guarantee of success for the interim management or recruitment assignment. It's also one of IMfinity's strong points.
  • Selection power: IMfinity's pool includes high-level professionals with recognised business expertise and managerial and steering skills. Experienced in the most varied problems and the most delicate situations, they are highly adaptable and have strong interpersonal skills. The selection process is obviously drastic, guided above all by a perfect understanding of the need. It is this decisive stage that will allow us to select THE manager who is suited to the position, who has the required know-how and experience and who will also be able to demonstrate the soft skills that are most in line with the internal culture: emotional intelligence, communication skills, creativity, team spirit, sense of service, ability to solve problems, etc. Here, it's all a question of culture, customs and habits, and it's up to the partners to use all their talent to decipher them!

In addition, IMfinity's international presence with 5 offices in Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland and Spain makes it a leading European player and gives it access to the widest possible range of research.

  • Powerful service: responsiveness, support, feedback. Responsiveness is an integral part of IMfinity's business. It is the first service that is owed to clients. And if it's a question of finding a manager in a few days, or a double expert in social and health law, it's possible.

But IMfinity is at the customer's and manager's side every step of the way . Follow-up and reporting are essential milestones! A successful mission is one where everyone is listened to and respected, in the service of the customer's performance and satisfaction!
