VMA GROUP works with a range of organisations internationally on the recruitment of interim, contract and temporary managers in communications, digital and marketing.
Over the years, the interim managers we have worked with have told us that the top five reasons they decided to specialise in interim management are:
Challenge and variety of work | Flexibility | Broadening skillset and sector experience | Clear deliverables and end date | Distance from internal politics
When making the decision to become an interim manager, there are several things that you need to consider and we've summarised below some of the questions we are frequently asked by people considering a contract role in the UK.

What We Do
Having supported organisations with interim and contract recruitment for over 45 years, we’ve developed a successful approach to meeting your hiring requirements.
The recruitment process for hiring a temporary employee is much quicker than that for permanent roles and is generally one, or at most, two stages.
-
After sharing your brief, we commit to getting a candidate shortlist to you within 48 hours. We manage an extensive network of high calibre interim and contract professionals, working across all sectors and at all levels.
-
Once you appoint the best interim for your needs, we initiate our compliance process. Our compliance team work closely with the candidate to ensure all documentation is in order before they begin the role.
-
Finally, we set the interim up on our timesheet system, where you can simply approve their weekly timesheets.
