SpecialiZm, the expert resource division of Z/Yen, provides experts for management roles – typically for assignments of between 6 and 18 months. Organisations need temporary experts more frequently because: - organisations have downsized considerably and are often short of specific skills; - organisations are seeking to reduce fixed costs; - new technology, globalisation and competitive forces have increased the pace of change, thus companies need greater operational flexibility; - recruiting permanent staff is often not a short-term option. Z/Yen is a risk/reward management firm that works to enhance performance by helping organisations make better choices. We aim to reduce risk, enhance reward and manage volatility. To meet these goals, appropriate “expertise on demand” is crucial. SpecialiZm provides experts who are: - carefully selected to ensure quality; ‘fit for purpose’ – our expertise is matching organisations with the right experts; - able to start within a tight timeframe; where possible, remunerated based on performance against quantifiable objectives; - variable costs, able to leave when the project has completed or demands have changed. We provide experts in operations, sales and marketing, finance, information technology and logistics. Our experts can be senior project managers working on acquisitions, logistics, new product launches or training. Our experts can work on-the-ground or up to board level. We frequently provide managing directors, finance directors or marketing directors. Current job opportunities are listed on our noticeboard. We have completed a major study of the interim management market analysing details of over 330 assignments. Download a copy of the research findings
