What is the difference between a temp and an interim?
Temporary workers typically support roles from entry level through to middle management. They’re there to keep things running smoothly, covering sick leave, supporting busy periods or bridging gaps.
Interims tend to operate at senior or executive level. They bring not just experience, but a strategic, consultative approach to guide organisations through change, challenge, or transformation.
