We believe motivation matters
When companies turn to interim service providers or recruitment agencies, the focus often falls on finding the most qualified professional to step in and deliver results quickly. While expertise is critical, there is another factor that can make or break the success of an assignment: motivation.
At Ferovalo, we do things differently from traditional interim service providers. Instead of “hunting down” talent and fitting them into roles, our talent have the power to choose the assignments they want to pursue.
A talent-first approach
Most interim providers match candidates to opportunities through headhunting and pitching. Often, this means drawing from a relatively small pool of internal executives who are rotated across different roles. While this can lead to a qualified match, it doesn’t always guarantee genuine investment from the professional.
Our model flips that script.
Ferovalo is a verified partner of Best Best Talent Platform— a thriving hub of over 1500 executive-level experts. Professionals on the platform actively apply only for assignments that resonate with them— whether it’s the type of project, the industry, or the company’s mission.
This approach ensures:
- Engaged professionals – They’re not just available; they’re eager to contribute.
- Better cultural alignment – Because they self-select, they’re drawn to companies and challenges that fit their values and strengths.
- Sustainable performance – Motivation fuels creativity, persistence, and impact.
The customer advantage
As one of our clients put it:
“I like the idea of a person seeking out of their own interest, compared to the traditional model where the task is sold to the person.” - Christer, Board Chair
This combination of freedom and transparency ensures that our clients get not only highly qualified professionals but also individuals who are personally motivated to deliver. Instead of being limited to a narrow executive pool, clients benefit from a broader range of motivated experts who are choosing to engage.
Our model leads to smoother collaborations, stronger results, and higher satisfaction on both sides.
Research supports the power of motivation
Our experience isn’t just anecdotal. Research into interim management backs this up. For example, a study on Effective Interim Leadership and Management Development, published in the Journal of Organizational Effectiveness: People and Performance, highlights that interim success depends not only on skills and competencies but also strongly on personal motivation and individual traits.
In other words, even the best-qualified interim leaders will underperform if they lack the drive to engage fully with the assignment. Conversely, when motivated professionals step into interim roles, they deliver stronger results, adapt faster, and build more effective relationships with clients.
This mirrors exactly what our model is designed to achieve: connecting clients with people who don’t just fit the role— they want the role.
The case for motivation
Interim assignments succeed when expertise is matched with genuine drive. By ensuring that every assignment is driven by both competence and motivation, we help organizations achieve meaningful outcomes faster and with greater confidence.
