Our success stories​


Stability in everyday life, development with a long-term vision

In the area of labour market integration for people from migrant backgrounds, a team leader from the ZfV interim pool took on responsibility at short notice. As well as ensuring day-to-day operations, they carried out a structured review of the current situation, identified areas for development and maintained direct communication with relevant stakeholders.

Drawing on her experience, her analytical skills and her keen insight into people, she succeeded in quickly building trust whilst at the same time identifying viable prospects for the division’s future development. The assignment was so successful that the contract was extended.


The right interim management team with a good fit in terms of values

When the management team of a small umbrella organisation stepped down at short notice, the organisation needed a reliable interim solution until the recruitment process was complete and a successor was ready to take up the post. An experienced interim manager took charge during this period, which lasted around four months.

Thanks to sound expertise at management level and a good understanding of the organisation’s trade union background, not only was operational and strategic leadership ensured — the collaboration was also aligned in terms of values. As a result, the association remained stable and capable of acting during a sensitive transitional phase.
