Tile Hill, a leading firm specialising in interim management and executive search services for public sector organisations, has received widespread acclaim through the results of the 2024 Institute of Interim Management (IIM) Survey, an annual survey of the interim market. The survey is widely recognised as the most comprehensive and prestigious insight into the Interim Management market, with over 5,000 interim managers across various sectors completing the survey each year. This year 68 per cent of respondents were from the private sector, with only 27 per cent from the public sector (down from 37 per cent last year).
The survey’s results reveal that Tile Hill has risen to second place in the leading interim service provider, from third place in the 2023 survey. Two Tile Hill consultants have also been highlighted for their achievements in the industry, with Nik Shah recognised as the IIM Interim Service Provider Consultant of the Year for the second year in a row, and Dino Christodoulou rising to third in the rankings.
Anthony Lewis, Director at Tile Hill, celebrates the company’s exceptional results and endorsement from the professional community. Lewis remarks, “It is hugely inspiring to work alongside colleagues who care so passionately about the experience they provide to our interim community. For this to have been recognised in this year’s IIM survey is amazing. We are proud to have risen to second place and are grateful to everyone who took the time to fill out the survey.”
“For Nik to have been recognised as the leading consultant for the second year running, and for Dino to have ranked as third highest consultant is a testament to the time they invest in supporting candidates. However, it truly is a team effort and I fundamentally believe we have the best team in the industry.”
Wider findings of the survey showed that the ethnic origins of the respondents matches that of ONS data for the whole of the UK, this is a positive uptake on last year, and shows improvement in the diversity of Interim Managers across the UK. Worryingly, this improvement in ethnic diversity doesn’t appear to have been matched with gender balance. The number of female interims have dropped this year, going down to 25 per cent from 29.7 per cent last year, with 74 per cent being male. The survey results also showed that women are paid 15 per cent less than men, an improvement on last year’s 21 per cent, but still not where it needs to be.
Looking ahead, Tile Hill commits to utilising the results of the Institute of Interim Management (IIM) Survey to continue the company’s efforts to drive organisations towards excellence and foster a better society through recruitment. Lewis adds, “We look forward to reading the full survey report and will share our action plan on what we can do to support our interim community in the year ahead.”
