We have a proven track record of rapidly matching the right leader or specialist to the situation on both an interim and permanent basis.

Testimonials

“Russam and the WIL Group creates a fresh and innovative approach for global organisations seeking interim and transformation 

expertise to provide some of the world’s top business talent across a very wide range of disciplines.”

Asma Aidi, Head of Transformation, Vodafone

Russam really understand our business and have formed a strong relationship that goes way beyond recruitment. The principals have deep industry knowledge and the company hosts thought provoking networking events and invite us even when we are not working with them. They are very credible people who are great to work with

Marcus Lee, Head of Resourcing, Santander

We have a good working relationship with Russam – they understand our business and have consistently found high quality, heavy-weight interims very quickly that have not only been competent but are the right cultural fit for our business

Martin Totty, CEO, Barbon Insurance

As organisations move through various transformations in today’s difficult economy, the flexibility and expertise offered by interim managers is invaluable. These are fluid times and a fluid approach to resourcing strategies is vital if organisations are to remain competitive. Highly skilled interims offer precisely that support

Penny Davis, People and Talent Director (former), Balfour Beatty 

You have provided us with so many outstanding individuals who are doing a great job fixing the business.

Grant Cox, Head of Europe, Bidcorp

Dr. Reinhard was the best interim consultant that we have hired, we are extremely pleased with him

Chris Bell, Partners, Bridgepoint

We chose Russam for our interim resourcing roles for a few simple reasons: They understand our business and they deliver on our business requirements. They deliver the right people, with the right skills, for the right project. We have now taken on two senior interim project managers that have helped us to deliver on our business plan

Lene Nielsen, Vice President Human Resources, Rothschild Bank AG

One of the key benefits of employing interim managers is that they can bring a wealth of experience and sector knowledge. They are not afraid to question the status quo and their fresh perspective and independence often delivers great results

Mike Innes, Senior Partner, Graphite Capital 

Companies don’t create value from legacy thinking of what has gone before, the opportunity for the WIL Group’s approach is therefore huge – it offers the platform to disrupt, and then to create new value.

Antony Perillo, Group Director Sourcing & Product Development, Clarks

We were undertaking a major change management programme, transforming our culture into a commercial organisation. We needed to hire people with specialist skills and experience to lead this transition. Russam understood the challenges that we faced and sourced highly experienced interims to work with us and help us transform the organisation into the modern, commercial and successful company that we are today

Kath Hollister, HR Director, Ericsson, Red Bee Media

Richard has overseen a transformation of our Group’s governance and leaves us in a much stronger position. He has made a huge contribution

Mark Way, CEO, Odeon Cinemas 

Interims are proving their value in every single transformation, in many different ways. Clients in every sector are achieving strategic, financial and efficiency benefits by employing interim professionals. It is this that is driving both Russam and the WIL Group’s rapid growth in digital transformation projects worldwide
