Interim Professionals
Interim professionals are highly skilled experts hired temporarily to manage transitions, address specific challenges, or fill critical roles within organizations. They offer immediate expertise, flexibility, and an objective perspective, making them valuable assets in dynamic business environments.
In our experience working with interim professionals across age groups and roles, from technical associates to interim C-suite, we found certain characteristics consistent among all groups. Interim workers are nimble and agile, able to transition quickly into a challenging work position and assess the current situation. They realize they need to move quickly to reconcile problems and create new solutions.
Why hire Interim Professionals?
-
Immediate expertise: Interim professionals can be deployed swiftly, providing specialized skills and experience to address urgent business needs without the delays associated with traditional hiring processes.
-
Flexibility: They offer adaptable solutions for short-term projects, crisis management, or bridging gaps during leadership transitions, allowing organizations to scale resources up or down as needed.
-
Cost-effectiveness: Hiring interim professionals can be more economical than permanent hires, as organizations avoid long-term salary commitments and benefits costs.
-
Objective perspective: As external agents, interim professionals bring unbiased viewpoints, enabling them to identify issues and implement solutions without internal politics influencing their decisions.

Flexpool
In game development, viewing a flex pool as a strategic asset can be highly beneficial, particularly given the industry’s cyclical nature, with intense activity during development milestones, followed by quieter phases. Here’s how the concept translates effectively to game studios:
Strategic allocation of talent
A flex pool in game development could consist of a roster of on-call specialists such as 3D modelers, animators, writers, or QA testers. Rather than being a reactive last resort to handle crunch, this pool can be planned as part of the studio's overall resource strategy.
Preventing burnout and structural weakness
Many game studios overburden their permanent staff during peak periods, creating long-term productivity and retention issues. By strategically deploying a flex pool, studios can avoid burnout and maintain a healthier work environment. Instead of relying on flex talent to fill gaps caused by understaffing, managers should ensure baseline permanent staffing levels are adequate.
Improved project scalability
Game development projects often have unpredictable demands. Some stages require extensive creative input (art, design) while others might focus on technical execution (programming, testing). A flex pool allows studios to scale specific departments temporarily without committing to long-term hires.
Enhancing collaboration and satisfaction
By involving both permanent and flex staff in planning processes, studios can ensure smoother collaboration. For example:
-
Scheduling flex talent during key milestones ensures they're aligned with the project vision.
-
Flex staff can provide fresh perspectives or skills that enhance the quality of the final product.

Interim Teams
In the fast-paced and ever-evolving world of game development, agility is no longer optional - it’s essential. Whether you’re navigating a critical project, scaling operations, or addressing a sudden talent gap, the right interim professionals can make all the difference. But here’s the thing: it’s not just about finding capable individuals. It’s about assembling a team - a cohesive unit that solves problems and delivers real, lasting value.
At Hardy & Go, we’re rethinking what interim solutions can achieve.
Interim teams, elevated
We don’t just place individuals—we build interim teams designed to solve your most pressing challenges. These teams are more than a collection of skilled professionals. They’re carefully curated groups of experts whose skills, work styles, and personalities complement one another. It’s the difference between a team that merely functions and one that thrives.
Cultural fit is at the heart of our approach. We know that technical skills alone won’t drive success. When professionals align with your company’s values and seamlessly integrate into your culture, they achieve far more, faster.
The power of complementary skills
Think of it like this: each team member brings their own unique strengths to the table. When chosen thoughtfully, the sum of those parts is far greater than the individual contributions. It’s a multiplier effect, where the right mix of skills and collaboration unlocks solutions that no single professional could deliver.
People that work well together, work better for you
Success is about more than ticking boxes. It’s about chemistry, collaboration, and momentum. Our interim teams are built to hit the ground running, with professionals who:
-
Share your vision and goals.
-
Communicate effectively and adapt quickly.
-
Foster an environment of mutual respect and innovation.
From problem to solution - fast
Time is often of the essence when you’re seeking interim support. That’s why we prioritize precision in our process. From identifying the right professionals to building a team that works as one, we take care of the details, so you can focus on the bigger picture.
