This is only the second edition of my newsletter (the first was 6 days ago) and I'm already at 2,402 subscribers at the time of writing this article.

And secondly because it's a bloody great feature! I'm including it here though because first of all I had pretty much overlooked/ignored it until earlier this year, as I think a lot of other LinkedIn members did too (as always LinkedIn didn't make a big deal of it). The IM community is full of experts that are motivated and eager to take on their next challenge.OK, so theoretically this one wasn't in 2022 as it got added last November.

When it comes to a talent platform, the clear majority believe that the best platform is the one that gets them a relevant assignment. Almost 35% of respondents said they are not registered for any platforms at all and nearly 50% of respondents found their last assignment through an existing contact (or networking) rather than a platform. However, there are still many freelancers who are skeptical about their usefulness and find success without them. Interim Manager Pulse 2022 found that, for many, talent platforms go hand in hand with finding interim management assignments. Despite the remaining presence of remote work, over 70% of respondents’ current (or latest) assignment is located in the same country they live in. In 2022, the average percentage of remote work was 62.85%. In 20, Ferovalo’s surveys focused on the COVID-19 pandemic, with a large emphasis on remote work.

Almost 1/4th of survey respondents have been freelancing in their field for over 10 years, a sharp increase from 2018. One area of change has been a rising level of expertise. Like our previous surveys, the majority of respondents came from Finland (85%) and considered themselves experts in management (77.54%) with a wide variety of specialties. With 138 respondents, Interim Manager Pulse 2022 had the highest response rate since Ferovalo’s first survey in 2018.
