Key skills for interim HR professionals
An interim HR manager is an experienced HR professional hired on a temporary basis (typically 3-12 months) to fill a leadership gap, lead a specific project, or manage a transition period. They bring immediate expertise without the long-term commitment of a permanent hire.
Interim HR Director day rates in the UK typically range from £700-1,000 per day, with London rates at the higher end (£800-1,100/day). This equates to annual earnings of £140,000-£200,000 based on typical utilisation rates. CHROs command even higher rates of £900-1,400/day.
Most interim HR roles require 10+ years of HR experience with at least 3-5 years at a senior level. Key requirements include experience managing teams, handling complex ER cases, leading change programmes, and demonstrable impact in previous roles. CIPD qualifications are often preferred but not always essential.
