Automotive headhunter Ennis & Co Group has launched an Interim Talent service. The move is in response to a “surge in demand” by automotive groups for short-term placements at senior leadership level.
Ennis works with companies that include OEMs, national sales companies, retail groups, distributors, finance and leasing companies and commercial vehicle industries.
Ennis said there is a growing need for interim senior hires because of the rapid transformation taking place across the industry.
Businesses, it said, wanted experienced executives who can step in at short notice to guide restructuring efforts, oversee mergers and acquisitions, establish new entrants in the market and navigate periods of transition.
Short term appointments help groups to move swiftly, avoiding lengthy recruitment processes and long notice periods.
Lynda Ennis, co-founder and CEO of Ennis & Co Group, said: “We are witnessing a clear shift in how organisations approach leadership during transformation.
“Interim executives are no longer just a stopgap but are strategic assets who bring specialised expertise to tackle challenges head-on.
