***Q: Sanna, you have recently used Ferovalo’s service to find an Interim Manager for your company. To start our conversation, how do you describe your company?***

A: Our industry, as we all know, is the zoo. We have around 80 personnel working for us with an average budget of 10 million euros.  

***Q: Please describe the challenge that you needed an Interim Manager for.*** 

A: We needed project management for renewing our tropical house and did not have enough resources in-house. The schedule and workload were not precise. 

***Q: How has the use of an Interim Manager benefited your company?***  

A: We were able to get project management quickly and easily.  

***Q: Would you recommend Ferovalo for projects that need a quick and/or temporary solution?*** 

A: Yes, of course.  

***Q: In your opinion, what are the advantages?*** 

A: It’s really, super easy. Especially in a situation when you are not in need of new full-time staff. 

***Q: In your opinion and based on your experience, what kind of situations would you use as an Interim Manager in the future?*** 

A: Interim Managers are best suitable with indefinite projects. It also reduces the cumbersome process of recruitment.   

***Q: In our opinion, Ferovalo’s process is quite unique in its transparency and speed. How did Ferovalo’s process work for you?*** 

A: Very well. 

***Q: What stood out in the process?***
