An interim HR manager provides full-time operational HR leadership for a defined period (typically 3-12 months). They handle day-to-day people management including employee relations, recruitment, performance management, HR compliance, and policy implementation.
Unlike permanent HR managers, interim HR managers bring immediate expertise to cover departures, manage specific projects like restructuring, or provide temporary leadership during periods of change or growth.
Interim HR managers in the UK typically earn between £500-£800 per day, depending on experience, sector expertise, and assignment complexity. This translates to approximately £10,000-£16,000 per month for full-time interim work.
Senior interim HR directors command higher rates of £800-£1,200 per day due to their strategic responsibilities and executive-level experience. Rates may be higher in London or for specialised sectors like financial services or pharmaceuticals.
Interim HR managers focus on operational execution—they manage day-to-day HR activities, implement policies, handle employee relations cases, oversee recruitment, and ensure HR compliance. They typically report to an HR director or business leader.
Interim HR directors provide strategic leadership—they develop people strategy, lead organisational transformations, advise the board on people matters, design organisational structures, and set the HR agenda. They operate at executive level and shape long-term people direction rather than managing operational tasks.
Companies hire interim HR managers when they need immediate, experienced HR leadership for a specific period or project:
Interim HR managers bring immediate impact without long-term commitment, making them ideal for defined-period needs or when you need senior expertise before making a permanent hire.
