IEL Program & Placement Details:
NYCON selects and trains a pool of interim executives who, depending on their competencies, availability and location, will be recommended as candidates to our member nonprofits experiencing transition.  NYCON will assess the member nonprofits situation and needs via a mandatory “IEL Engagement Readiness Review”, provide them with up to three (3) candidates from our pool to interview. The member nonprofit will conduct interviews and decide as to whom, if any, they want as interim ED or CEO.  All interim executive leaders that are placed by NYCON will be under an employment contract with ICI, which specializes in employment administration. The member nonprofit will retain NYCON for the IEL services; NYCON will subcontract with ICI for the IEL services. NYCON provides all the necessary assessment, referral, placement, and supportive service arrangements for our member nonprofits. Many member nonprofits will also access additional NYCON services such as search assistance, financial management, legal, board development, etc. In most cases, but not all, interim executives will be working on a part-time schedule, generally three (3) full days per week. The typical engagement will last 3-6 months.

Cost:

Interim Executive Leaders compensation is based on the previous occupant’s salary and the value of mandatory and optional benefits prorated for FTE time spent. Direct expenses, including mileage, may also be reimbursed.  As an employee of ICI, IELs will receive mandatory liability insurance coverage and undergo a criminal background, employment and education verification check.  The Member nonprofit client will be charged the pro-rated cost of the interim executive compensation (including the value of mandatory and optional benefits) plus a 15% fee.
