1) You need additional Project Management resource for the foreseeable future; in this case you will be better off engaging someone on a “permanent” salaried basis, even if finding them will take longer.
2) Your processes are so specific any new recruit will take several months or even years to become familiar with them.
3) You want to engage an individual (probably younger) you can mould to fit your organizations culture.
4) Your organization is expanding at a steady and predictable rate.
However, sometimes an Interim Project Manager is the best solution if:-
1) You have identified a short to medium term lack of resource in the Project Management arena.
2) You want someone quickly who can make an immediate impact.
3) You have a specific project which requires targeted resource.
4) Your organization is expanding rapidly but unpredictable.
When employing additional resource be sure to take into account the circumstances in which it is to be deployed.

This week one of the busiest Motorways in England was closed for 3 days because of a fire in a scrap yard adjoining the motorway. In the ensuing debate questions were raised about the need to prevent such a thing happening again, including closing all potential threats in sites adjoining Motorways.
On a recent business trip to Geneva I flew from Leeds Bradford Airport in the North of England. I checked through on time and headed for the gate to be met by a scene of organised chaos. The queue was very long and heaving with Schoolkids on exchange visits, holidaymakers and business people. At the very end of this long queue we were given a tray into which we had to load our laptops, keys, belts etc as part of the security screening process. This was undoubtedly the bottleneck and by the time I got through security to the Gate I was informed by an attendant that I may well have missed the flight. I was then subjected to admonishment, had I not heard the attendants calling people through for the Geneva flight – “No” , I hadn’t heard anything in melee – anyway to cut a long story short I caught my flight but not without a lot of hassle and stress.
