Leaders in Talent Acquisition

Our Services

As one of Stockholm’s leading companies within executive search and leadership consulting, we provide bespoke talent solutions, spanning executive search, interim management, board services, and board performance reviews, that cater to the specific needs of your business. We do this by utilizing our extensive network and profound market knowledge, combined with the most recent advancements in recruitment technology. This strategy allows us to identify the right talent to contribute to your long-term business growth. Our consultants are always available throughout the recruitment journey to answer any questions or concerns that you might have.

Our Process

We start the recruitment process by engaging with your hiring manager and other important stakeholders to establish the search criteria. This includes determining the job requirements and your company’s expectations for a candidate. This initial engagement is vital since it offers us a clear picture of what to look for, ensuring we deliver the right leader according to your needs.

Once the search criteria have been defined, our team of consultants can begin analyzing the market. This involves leveraging our vast network of connections and membership with NPAworldwide to pinpoint executives who would be a good match for your requirements. Assisting us in this endeavor is our advanced recruitment technology that allows us to sort prospects based on their skills, education, and location (if needed).

After we have identified a potential fit for the position, we will perform a thorough evaluation of the individual’s background, criminal history, and references to verify their resume. Our executive assessment also encompasses psychometric tests, skill evaluations, and competency-based interviews to verify their compatibility with the company culture.

If the candidate passes the evaluation and initial interview stage, we will introduce them to you, and you get the final say on whether or not you want to hire them.

Why Do We Use a Tailored Executive Search Approach?

Our headhunting services are distinguished from others in Stockholm for our personal touch. However, this wasn’t always the case. In our firm’s early years, we utilized a generic search method that overlooked the unique recruitment challenges of each client. It was only after a failed placement for a prominent client revealed the shortcomings of our cookie-cutter approach that we implemented our more customer-oriented strategy.

We had been tasked with finding a candidate for a senior management role at our client’s firm. Although the individual we had chosen had all the necessary technical skills to excel in the position, it soon became apparent that they were lacking in terms of their cultural fit. As a result, they failed to integrate into the client’s existing team and resigned shortly thereafter.

Although we were not prepared for this outcome, we realized we would need to modify our way of conducting searches if we hoped to achieve more successful placements. Thus, with the help of our talented recruitment team, we reformed our one-size-fits-all approach to one that could accommodate the individual needs of every customer.

Since adopting our revolutionized method, our brand has become widely recognized with reliable, superior quality executive recruitment. Despite our global success, we are wary of becoming complacent in our ways, so we strive for continuous learning and keeping abreast of the most recent developments in our field.

Our Expertise

Examples of Roles We Recruit For

As one of Stockholm’s leading executive search firms, we are experts at placing senior leaders across all core functions of an organization. Our work focuses on the roles that define strategy and are responsible for driving results, such as the chief executive who sets the vision for the company and the functional heads who translate that vision into performance. Clients come to us when a hire is too important to be left to chance, and we bring the rigor, networks, and discretion that senior appointments demand.

Our mandates span the full C-suite, the wider leadership team, and the boardroom. We routinely place Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) to lead organizations through growth, transformation, and succession, as well as Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) who own financial strategy and governance. Our tech recruitment work extends to finding Chief Information Officers and Chief Technology Officers who can build and scale the systems that modern businesses rely on. We also hire Chief Marketing Officers in charge of brand and demand, and senior commercial leaders such as Directors of Sales to generate revenue in competitive markets.

Whether you want to build a new executive team, plan for succession, or fill one important seat, our consultants will custom-design the search to meet your priorities and your industry. What we aim for is a shortlist of senior candidates who have the right credentials but also the judgment and leadership to make a measurable difference from day one.

Our Promise

One of the qualities that makes us stand out in the executive recruitment field is our dedication to ensuring the right professionals get placed in the right jobs. A part of this commitment involves ensuring candidates transition smoothly into their new roles.

However, there may be instances where, despite our best efforts, a candidate does not integrate well enough into the company or otherwise fails to meet our client’s expectations. As a countermeasure, we offer a replacement program that pledges to deliver a suitable substitute for any candidate our client is not satisfied with.

For the program to take effect, our client should inform us of their dissatisfaction with the candidate we placed within the first 365 days of their employment. It should also be noted that when we agree to redo a search, we will do so within the parameters that were initially agreed upon to avoid unnecessary delays.

Finally, any comments, questions, concerns, and inquiries will be handled with the utmost professionalism and respect for our clients.
