Interim-Managers undertake responsibility for the result of their work in a line, functional, or project role. They leave the client company after they have resolved a problem successfully and sustainably and the existing organization has fully taken charge again.

Do not confuse interim management with temp work which has been traditionally a service of staffing companies. Interim Management is very different from temp work. Firstly, the Interim Manager is outsourced and does not fall under an employee status, and secondly, an Interim Manager is always qualified or even over-qualified to take over a role on a middle or top management level.
