interim-x has been included in the brand eins/Statista list of "Best HR Consultants 2026" in the interim management segment. This recognition is based on a market survey and thus on feedback from those who work with HR consultancies.

For interim-x, this inclusion is external confirmation that our approach to interim management works in practice: rapid placements, thorough pre-qualification, and matching candidates with the right fit, both professionally and personally.

What lies behind our results

Interim placements rarely fail due to a lack of available candidates, but rather due to unclear requirements, overly broad longlists, or delayed coordination. Our focus is therefore on a process that combines speed with reliability:

  • Clear requirements gathering and structured project description
  • Pre-qualification instead of simply forwarding CVs
  • Accreditation with profile verification and references as a quality assurance measure
  • Technical support in the matching process (including semantic analysis) – decision-making and coordination remain human

 

Areas of application and mandates

We work across various sectors – from German SMEs to international organizations. Typical situations include bridging vacancies, transformation and restructuring programs, carve-outs, and special situations involving investors/private equity.

 

Outlook

Inclusion in the brand eins/Statista list motivates us to further improve our processes and platform – especially where speed and quality in interim management become measurable: in the precision of the matching process and the efficiency of the pre-qualification.

If you wish, I can adapt the text to your website format (news/blog/press review) and add a short CTA (for companies vs. for interim managers) as well as a legally compliant reference to the source/methodology (without claiming external links).

We would like to thank all the accredited interim managers and companies who placed their trust in us and made this award possible.
