That’s why leading organizations today are prioritizing their ability to navigate change. The result? They stay ahead of the curve, instead of becoming redundant.

Someone who increases the speed of adoption, the amount of people adapting the change, the effectiveness of how people following the new processes and behavior. And helps prevent project delays, unnecessary costs, mitigate risks and support a more smooth implementation. Someone who can speak the language, understands the challenges of today and knows how to create a winning organization.
Challenges you may face:
- NOne change has not yet been completed or another is already around the corner
- NWe need to make a big turnaround with the organization, how do we get people engaged
- NPeople don’t understand why the change is needed and are not getting on board
- NLack of support and model behavior from senior leadership
- NLeadership struggles with getting the message across and to bend resistance
- NPeople are not aligned on the direction we need to go to
- NChange was started without embedding sponsorship, change leaderships, the right stakeholders and a good program management set-up
- NWithin the organization we face lack of capabilities for the new way of working
- NWe are not achieving our results because of poor adoption

Why work with SPRING TODAY instead of your usual recruitment firm?
You might be very happy with your recruitment firm. But somehow, they can’t manage to get it right regarding change management. Why? Change is a whole different ballgame. And most recruitment firms just don’t get it. You need to have first-hand experience in the field to understand the nuances and complexities that come into play.
SPRING TODAY is the one and only niche player that exclusively provides search and interim services to find Change and Transformation managers for the Top 100 organizations. We understand intimately which type of change professional (both in terms of capabilities and personality) matches your project. Also, we have an extensive network with top-tier change and Transformation managers, so we can move quickly. And we of course will make the first selection with highly skilled candidates, so you won’t have to go through a stack of irrelevant CVs.
That’s why companies like Philips, ASML, and AkzoNobel have made us their preferred supplier for change management positions.
What types of organizations does SPRING TODAY work for?
We work for leading organizations in three different sectors: Corporate sector, healthcare and public organizations.
How long does it take to recruit a Change or Transformation manager?
We can usually provide a selection of interim change managers within a week. If you are recruiting for a permanent position, it takes about 4 weeks for us to compile a shortlist of 5-6 candidates (after which you can start your own selection procedure).
What do we need from you?
We will ask you a couple of in-depth questions about the vacancy, the project, and the team you are recruiting for. Also, please send us a job profile so we can translate it into an appealing vacancy. That’s it! SPRING TODAY helps you navigate through change recruitment with ease.
What are the costs involved with hiring a change or transformation manager through SPRING TODAY?
For fixed positions, we charge a percentage of the candidate’s first-year salary as a placement fee. For interim roles, we charge a fixed percentage of the hourly rate.
What if there are no good candidates for the job?
Our model is largely based on ‘no cure no pay’, at least for interim positions. For fixed positions, we need to make a larger investment upfront (e.g. for the marketing campaign), so we’ve split the payment into three parts: A starting fee, a fee contingent on the shortlist, and a final fee once a candidate is placed. As such, there is very little risk involved in collaborating with SPRING TODAY!
To what extent do you work exclusively?
For fixed positions, we only accept to work exclusively. For interim positions, this also has our preference, so we can be more targeted in our marketing and go all-in to recruit the best candidate for the job.
