Trusted by Leaders

“CR3 has vast internal networks for turnaround and restructuring professionals, however, occasionally we need a specific industry experience our existing professionals do not have. When we exhaust our internal resources we frequently turn to Jim and his team. ES Interims provides a personal and efficient service, effectively sourcing quality interims across all functions and levels for our business, often at very short notice. In one specific situation, Jim found a Pig Farmer with a PhD in Meat Science in less than a week to assist with an assessment of a large swine farming operation”.
William K. Snyder
Senior Managing Director | Partner
“Jim and the ES Interims team are excellent recruiters with an uncanny ability to successfully execute the “one off” search for hard-to-find talent. It is not hard to find a CFO or VP of Sales. ES Interims excels at the unique. When CapRock was looking to hire an Angola Country Manager, we engaged Jim and the team to assist us. In a matter of days, they pulled together an excellent slate of candidates that met our stringent preliminary requirements. As a result, we were able to hire an outstanding person who was at the center of our bull’s-eye”.

Recruiting Manager CapRock Communication Inc.
“During repositioning and recapitalization of AutoRealty, Claude Smith, Interim CFO from the ES Interims’ team, helped evaluate various financing alternatives available in the market. Claude’s thorough understanding of the financial landscape and the needs of AutoRealty helped us position the financial plans for the company. It was a genuine pleasure to work with him and the whole ES Interims’ team.”

COO AutoRealty
