Placement meeting the highest industry standards
Interim managers benefit from the national and international corporate network of butterflymanager. Since 2003 we have specialised in the successful placement of interim managers.

Interim managers and customers also benefit from the service and ongoing support before, during and after an assignment.

We regard the following “5 Golden Rules” as binding in fair cooperation with interim managers. Confidentiality and adherence to data privacy go without saying.
5 Golden Rules
For all-round fair play in the cooperation between interim managers and providers
Golden Rule |
|
|---|---|
| First come, first served |
As soon as an interim manager notices that they have already received the same enquiry from another party (e.g. from another provider), they withdraw their candidacy with the second and if necessary any subsequent inquirer. The provider will also withdraw its interest in the interim manager as soon as it notices that he or she has already been brought into play with the same customer by another provider. |
| You know what you get |
At the start of the enquiry, the provider and interim manager clarify the conditions: (minimum) daily rate, split of the daily rate or of the margin, expenses. The financial conditions for job interviews are also set. |
| Committed before presented |
Interim managers reveal parallel enquiries early on (in anonymised form) and do not have several “irons in the fire”. Conversely, providers are transparent in their supplying of information regarding the employment opportunities of the interim manager. |
| Accept contract extension |
Term extensions are normal and do not represent a leverage point for any side to change the conditions. Customer satisfaction has top priority. If adjustments (in remuneration) are made on the part of the customer, these are transparently and proportionally passed on in accordance with the existing conditions. |
| Get testimonial for performance |
Top performance is the rule. The provider ensures references from the customer and from itself. |
