Holker Watkin Interim Roles

Holker Watkin specializes in executive search focused on strategy and transformation

INTERIM ROLES

We help our clients access the best independent consultants.

We have over 4,000 independent consultants in our global network. Each consultant has experience from a leading strategy firm, such as McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group and Bain & Co. Most have also enjoyed successful post-consulting careers in industry, deepening their expertise before deciding to work as an independent strategy & transformation consultant.

The depth of our candidate network enables us to rapidly find a selection of suitable consultants with the right experience, suited to our clients’ specific needs for the client to choose from. We can supply individual consultants at all levels, as well as full project teams.

The business case for using our Independent Consultants

Effective

Our independent consultants have led successful careers at leading strategy houses
They often combine strategy with experience in industry and MBAs; so are able to bring more grounded and implementable recommendations
Our consultants embed themselves fully within the client organisation, helping to create “corporate memory” and lasting change
All consultants are interviewed and reference checked

Low Risk & Flexible

Short assignments needing only a few weeks through to longer projects requiring many months
Many contracts start short and then extend
Short notice periods so minimal commitment needed before engaging
Billed monthly in arrears, only for the actual days the consultant works

High value

We provide access to top tier strategy talent at less than half the price of strategy consulting firms
Stepped fees to reflect long term engagements
Clients pick just the consultant(s) they want – no “cost loading” as is often the case in consultancy teams

Fast and straightforward

We typically shortlist at least 3 high-quality consultants within 72 hours
On average, our clients make a successful hire from interviewing just 2.4 proposed consultants
We handle all logistics: contract and fee negotiation, payment and feedback
