Our Approach to Interim Management Services
Haldren is widely recognized for precision placements that let companies maintain momentum during leadership gaps. Every search is customized to client goals, budget, and timeline. We follow a proven step-by-step process:
- Stakeholder Alignment – senior consultants meet executives to set measurable objectives and compliance needs.
- Talent Mapping – proprietary analytics highlight local and national professionals with relevant project wins.
- Sourcing & Engagement – recruiters reach out through industry groups, referral channels, and confidential outreach.
- Rigorous Evaluation – multi-stage interviews, scenario testing, and 360-degree references verify skills and mindset.
- Onboarding Support – we coordinate contracts, travel, and performance dashboards, then stay engaged until project completion.
We strengthen decisions with:
- Harrison Assessments

- SHL Leadership Scenarios
Specialized applicant-tracking software speeds searches, while AI-driven resume parsing cuts effort for clients. Diversity hiring strategies widen candidate pools, and psychometric testing pinpoints leaders who can guide departments such as finance or technology without missing a beat. Compared with standard agency practices, our full-cycle support and ethics code give clients better fit, faster placement, and reduced risk.
Our Experience as Leading Interim Management Executive Recruiters
Decades of search work have given Haldren consultants the knowledge to discuss IFRS updates, SaaS rollouts, or lean manufacturing with equal ease. Many of our recruiters held senior roles in finance or operations before moving into search, so they understand the pressure points a growing company faces.
We stay current by speaking at AESC forums, attending SHRM conferences, and publishing research on interim trends across California. Recruiters hold certifications such as SPHR, CFA, PMP, and Six Sigma Black Belt, ensuring advice is rooted in industry standards.
Academic backgrounds span MBA programs from UC San Diego to global institutions, matched by ongoing coursework in data analytics and employment law. This continuous learning lets our team guide clients through talent shortages, compliance shifts, and technology change with confidence.
First-hand project experience ranges from leading ERP implementations in biotech to steering post-merger integrations for regional banks. Such insight lets us predict hurdles, set realistic timelines, and support interim leaders with the right resources.
Finally, our consultants share knowledge freely, giving clients clear explanations instead of jargon. The result is a partnership built on trust, results, and mutual growth.

Why Haldren Uses a Customized Approach to Recruitment
Early in Haldren’s history, a San Diego manufacturer asked for a rapid CFO placement. We tried a generic talent pool, and the executive clashed with the company’s hands-on culture within weeks. The lesson was clear: one-size methods waste effort and endanger results.
Today our recruiters start by learning each client’s rhythms—how teams meet, how departments track success, and which soft skills matter most. We build every search plan around these insights, then test candidates for the same qualities. This tailored path produces leaders who earn trust on day one and leave lasting gains.
Generic searches fail because they ignore culture, departmental goals, and local market realities. By contrast, our customized system blends data, human insight, and continuous feedback, giving clients confidence and measurable value.
Why Choose Haldren for Interim Management Services
Haldren’s reputation for quality and reliability spans two decades of executive search success. Clients in the San Diego area rely on us to protect operations, improve efficiency, and guide teams through transition.
