Management/Executive Backfill
Whether you have a short-term need, a position being vacated, or are on the hunt for the perfect candidate, I can help. With my engineering and management/executive background, I can get up to speed quickly in many areas and help make sure your business keeps moving. Here are a few examples of what this service can entail:
Situation 1:
You’ve just received a resignation letter from one of your managers or executives. You only have a few weeks before they are gone. This individual was juggling multiple initiatives that will either have to be put on hold or temporarily assigned to other fully loaded staff until you can get a replacement. You know you need to conduct knowledge capture with your outgoing employee and then transfer that knowledge when a new hire arrives, which could take months.
Solution:
You bring in Justin to work with the departing executive to conduct a knowledge capture. Justin works part-time in the vacated position to keep identified critical items moving so that your business doesn’t suffer. Once a suitable replacement is found, Justin transitions the knowledge and helps the new employee get up to speed. The result is a smooth transition without sacrificing crucial initiatives or setting the business back.
Situation 2:
You’re growing. You’re expanding your business and realize that you need to add to your management or executive team. Finding the right candidate could take months, but you don’t want to wait to start new initiatives. You also can’t risk hiring too quickly and getting the wrong person. What can you do?
Solution:
You bring in Justin part-time to fill the role while you begin your candidate search. He gets your initiatives started and also helps you identify the right candidate for the job. Once the position is filled, Justin conducts knowledge transfer and ensures the initiatives continue without missing a beat. Now, you have taken the time to hire the right person without having to pause your growth plans.
