Welcome to the homepage of Quarax Interim management  
     
 

This was the homepage of Quarax Interim management. It still exists for nostalgic reasons.

It becomes increasingly challenging for organisations to reach their targets. Everything needs to be done faster, better, and more efficient. The labour market has changed rapidly as well over the last years. Employees put increasing demands on working hours, work atmosphere and job content. These changes require flexible working relations. An example is the appointment of interim managers. In cases such as this it is useful, both to the commissioning party and to the interim manager, to employ a mediating organisation specialised in finding the right person and putting him or her in the right place. Quarax aims at mediating between the client and the independently operating interim manager. Quarax helps organisations to obtain temporary, professional resources in virtually every discipline. Quarax is a starting mediating organisation with a widely experienced staff and is led by Ms Thérèse Frankenhuis, General Manager.

  
     
     
  Quarax's mission: Mediation for Interim Management  
     
  Quarax Interim Management is an independent company that offers its clients knowledge and skills through its management professionals.
Our assignments should significantly support our clients' goals. With this in mind, we strive towards presenting ourselves as a partner. With an approach aiming at quality, speed and co-operation, an optimal result is achieved.

During the period that our client is being counselled we continually aim at transferring skills and knowledge, and thus enhance the learning ability of both the customer and the interim manager.
In addition to this, the focus is on the development, growth and learning process of both the organisation and the human beings in it.

  
     
 

 

 

  
  Quarax is characterised by integrity and contact  
     
  Quarax is a young mediating organisation with a different style. Our business integrity is of the highest importance: our attitude is open, honest, reliable, loyal and respectful, towards both customer and interim manager. Moreover, every interim manager has his or her own specific background and approach. The various personalities and backgrounds complement each other. As a result of this, Quarax has the widest possible basis. Mutual contact between interim managers is encouraged where possible. The advantage to the customer is that specific requirements can be honoured where needed. On the other hand, the interim manager is enabled to rely on a wide range of experts, such as marketing managers, tax specialists and policy makers.
  
     
     
  The selection of interim and project managers is a careful process  
     
  Prior to selecting an interim manager, Quarax conducts a thorough intake process with the customer. Every assignment deserves an appropriate manager. Points of attention are:
     
  Getting an overview of the situation;
  Defining the problem;
  Stating the purpose of the assignment;
  Measuring the progress of the assignment;
  Determining critical success factors;
  Determining the position of the interim manager;
  Defining tasks of the interim manager;
  Determining the required competencies of the interim manager;
  Counselling the interim manager;
  Monitoring progress;
  Following up on the results of the assignment;
  Wrapping up the assignment.

  How to call us in  
     
 
There are two kinds of mediation: direct search and open search.
 
  In the case of 'direct search' or a binding search agreement, Quarax will make an inventory of available and appropriate applicants, will search for and present them to the customer, and will charge them for it. After-sales work, the actual agreement, and the following-up work will be charged for as well.
  In the case of 'open search' or a non-binding search agreement, Quarax will perform an inventory, search available files, distribute the search call to the relation network, and contact any potential applicants, on a 'no cure - no pay' basis.
 
Quarax does not work on a 'no cure - no pay' basis. Only digital CV brokers and start-up one-horse shows promise 'no cure - no pay'. From Quarax' point of view, contributing to personal relations and quality is leading. In this vision there is no room for 'no cure - no pay'.
