Interim Management
Bridge personnel shortages and meet increased temporary HR needs with the industry’s first HR consulting choice
At ARTES, we specialize in connecting the best talent with leading real estate and construction businesses. Since finding interim managers like executive assistants, asset managers, technical property managers, accountants or even managing directors is usually time-critical, you need someone to fill those important roles quickly, efficiently and at a high quality. Talk to us and profit from our extensive, industry-specific network.
Losing a crucial part of the team can have a severe financial impact. That is, unless you don’t have an interim manager. Interim managers can start immediately and bring extensive experience and expertise to your role. That way, you don’t have to worry about your day-to-day operations suffering.
The quick availability of these experts significantly reduces the stress and pressure of having to find a replacement quickly. At the same time, your team doesn’t have to deal with the added pressure of having to replace a key member of the team. This leads to higher satisfaction and productivity and prevents potential resignations.
Interim management gives you the opportunity to avoid recurring frustration and stagnation in your projects. With interim managers, you can ensure that your projects move forward and do not continually stall.
Interim managers do not only bring the specific expertise but also the necessary experience to quickly and efficiently handle complex and demanding tasks. You can deploy interim managers for various projects, whether it’s the introduction of CAFM software, the implementation of IFRS standards, or the execution of digitalization and ESG initiatives.
The sudden loss of key functions can pose significant risks to your company, including financial losses and potential damage to your reputation. Because just like success becomes known, a reputation for not being able to keep promises to customers, investors and shareholders can easily spread. Good interim managers are able to start quickly and professionally. At ARTES, we help you find the right candidate within a fraction of the time it would usually take.
Their immediate availability and extensive experience help to prevent project interruptions or ensure mandates are maintained, allowing your company to continue being perceived as a reliable partner, which secures long-term business success.
To alleviate the pressure from our recruitment process, we have trusted leading real estate company, ARTES, with the search for an Interim Manager. The Interim Manager we found through ARTES proved extremely competent and experienced. This expertise allowed us to find the right, long-term candidate for the position in ample time.
With the professional support of the Interim Manager, we were able to ensure a seamless handover. He took care of all pending tasks and challenges, providing our new colleagues with invaluable support. The collaboration with ARTES was crucial for the success of the transition process and demonstrated how valuable Interim Management can be in maintaining operational continuity and quality.
We are very satisfied with the performance of the Interim Manager and the support from ARTES. This experience has exceeded our expectations, and we would recommend ARTES to any company looking for effective solutions in Interim Management.
As a leading company in technology, we have partnered with ARTES to assist us with select construction projects. For one of these projects, we employed an experienced Interim Manager to oversee our office construction, more specifically the Technical Building Equipment. His extensive expertise and experience significantly contributed to the success of the project.
The flexibility of the Interim Manager allowed us to adjust to varying workloads more often, decreasing or increasing the project’s pace as needed. This was crucial for us since the challenges with this project were unique and we don’t have any similar projects planned.
The Interim Manager ensured the implementation of technical requirements and the seamless coordination with everyone involved in the project. As a result, not only did we ensure the quality of the construction. We also met our deadlines while freeing up internal resources for other strategic business areas.
The collaboration with Ms. Floß led to the successful execution of our project. We are grateful for the professional support and advice.
Our collaboration with Ms. Floß was goal-oriented and professional from the start. Thanks to her competent mediation of a competent Interim Manager, we were able to lay a successful foundation for our new Property Management division. The Interim Manager set up and optimized our processes and managed all housing units while bringing extensive expertise and experience.
Her availability as an Interim Manager enables us to request additional support when needed — even today. This outstanding flexibility allows us to react situationally, ensuring that all operational challenges are managed in a timely manner. Furthermore, the Interim Manager has integrated a new team of permanent employees, who now operate independently.
Since we had no previous experience with the deployment of Interim Management, Miss Floß’s guidance throughout the process was extremely valuable.

For companies
Which roles or tasks can be tackled using interim management?
Interim Management solves a wide variety of temporary problems. This can mean anything from temporarily filling open positions, managing projects (such as digitalization initiatives, new system implementations, department expansions or reductions, or construction projects) to handling specialized tasks. Interim management offers a practical solution for every challenge. Let’s think outside the box and discuss your options together.
How long are the typical project durations? Are there part-time options available?
Just like your situation is unique, a good solution needs to be flexible and exactly tailored to your needs. While some need a full-time interim solution, others get immense relief by having someone offering part-time support. That’s why we offer both options.
How are interim managers compensated?
Compensation is based on an hourly or daily rate. These rates vary depending on the position. Our margin for freelance placement is already included in the respective hourly or daily rate, which means no additional costs for you. All hours worked are thoroughly documented and invoiced at the end of each month.
What are the success factors when working with interim managers?
Clear goals and communication: Clear goals and communication are the backbone of every successful project. This also means that the relationship between you and us should be based on open communication right from the start. The more openly we can discuss your goals and current challenges, the quicker we will find a matching solution.
Also very important is that you communicate the role of the interim manager within the organization before the interim manager starts working.
Access and Resources: Ensure that the interim manager has access to all resources he or she needs to complete the work successfully. This includes access to IT, project information, and good interfaces with your employees.
Additional expertise: Interim managers sometimes bring more expertise than needed for the actual project. Feel free to also use this extra expertise to gain additional benefits for your company. An interim manager does not pursue an internal career and is therefore often willing to cover „simpler tasks“.
Can we hire an interim manager as a permanent employee?
In theory, everything is possible. However, a transition from a temporary assignment to a permanent position is very rare in practice (max. 5% of all projects) since experienced freelancers are often happy with the „interim“ model. If you are looking for a long-term solution, we should discuss this in more detail to provide you with advisory support.
For candidates
How can I collaborate with ARTES as an interim manager?
Do you have several years of professional experience in the construction and real estate industry? Did you work in areas such as Real Estate, Construction, Finance, or Business Support? If so, please send us your resume or profile (including your project list if possible) so we can discuss your specific project ideas and perhaps soon begin working together on a project. We look forward to hearing from you!
Can I also invoice as a company with ARTES?
Yes, we can also work with you on a contractual basis if you operate as a legal entity (such as a GmbH or UG) and are registered as the managing director or managing partner. Of course, you can also work with us if you are a sole proprietor (self-employed or freelance).
What are the payment terms?
You digitally submit your invoice alongside the activity report signed by the client. We then pay you on the 10th or 20th of each month — depending on which date is closer to the date you submitted your invoice.
How can I become an interim manager?
Are you considering becoming self-employed or are you available for a new professional challenge in the next 1-2 months? Do you enjoy variety and want to apply your experience on a project basis? If so, please confidentially send us your resume so we can have a more detailed discussion and provide you with some insights into the specifics.
What are the success factors for a long-term, successful collaboration on projects?
The focus is on your professional and project experience as well as on your personality. Most interim management projects require a quick and often independent familiarization with open issues and good prioritization.
Before we offer you any projects, we openly communicate with both parties. Therefore, we only present you with projects that match your expertise and expectations.
Throughout the project, we remain your point of contact to help navigate any dynamic or challenging situations. The mantra „after the project is before the next project“ really holds true when previous projects have satisfied all parties involved. Thus, flexibility and sensitivity are often key to success.
