Executive Search Oslo, Norway

Our Executive Recruitment Solutions in Norway

The executive recruitment service offered by Keller Executive Search is global, but that does not mean that we don’t value the importance of local nuances when recruiting for our clients in Norway. Our experienced recruiters know how to recruit across all sectors, whether we are working with private equity firms or publicly traded companies. As part of our executive search process, we consider in-house management styles and company culture. Even the best candidates need to be diligently screened to ensure that they will be a good fit for the team.

A comprehensive executive search in Norway can be a deeply involved process that claims resources and time. Engaging with a professional services provider like Keller Executive Search can ensure that employers do not need to carry this burden by themselves. Our extensive network and expert consultants use state-of-the-art technologies and modern search techniques to ensure successful solutions for our Norwegian and international clients.

We offer a wide array of professional services, targeted at the whole recruitment pipeline, from finding the best possible recruits to supporting transition and succession challenges. Although we often fill positions for full-time contracts, we can also help our clients with contract-based employment opportunities, depending on their unique set of needs. Our recruitment process is dynamic and is designed in such a way that it can be easily adapted to our clients’ situation. Because our services are bespoke, we have a solution designed especially for you and your unique staffing requirements. This is reflected in our proven track record of successful placements across various industries.

Our Executive Recruiters in Norway

At Keller Executive Search, we don’t simply want to find you a list of the top talent available, but want to create a lasting relationship with our clients. That is why we make sure that all our executive recruiters can be reached at any point during the recruitment process and provide the expert clarification you need for any questions or issues that may arise.

Our extensive experience has highlighted the value that headhunters can bring to a company through identifying top executives for leadership roles. Our expertise spans a number of industries, from accounting, health care, new technology, and finance, to any other industries that might require executive recruitment.

Our experienced recruiters understand that leadership positions require a candidate who is a good fit within the existing hierarchy, not only an expert in the field. We only consider our executive search services successful if the new employees we suggest stay with the company and benefit the organization by helping it grow. Our philosophy is that a recruiting solution is only successful when integration with the existing team is seamless.

Our consultants help to identify the best talent and can extend our services to include assistance with interviews and support with candidate integration and orientation.

Local Expertise, Global Reach

The management of companies has evolved in recent years. There have been extensive changes made to the global market with a growing focus on service delivery driven by smarter technology and a more interconnected, globalized world. Headhunters need to stay on top of these changes in order to guide organizations successfully. With change comes many new opportunities, but in order to access these opportunities, companies need to know how to adapt to changes, which can only be done by investing resources into the right leadership talent, who understands the way things are moving and has the experience to make the right calls moving forward.

Our executive search services are not geared towards a specific market and are thus adapted to suit the needs of individual companies, teams, markets, and services. We can even assist with other supporting services outside of executive recruitment, and can provide both interim management consultation and board advisory services when needed. While we don’t typically help individuals with career searches, any CVs or resumes that we receive will be added to our database.

Our Global Presence

Being a renowned executive search firm in Norway means that we are known for the way in which we support clients in identifying, recruiting, and hiring the top talent in a wide array of industries and providing them with foolproof strategies to retain such talent. In doing so, we play a significant role in the success of companies around the world, and help them to join the ranks of global leaders in their fields.

Getting Started with an Executive Search in Norway

Norway’s strong focus on economic stability and growth forms the foundation of its high standard of living. From finance and marketing to recruiting and life sciences, all industries have a strong footing within the economy. The use and innovation of new technology in business environments also add to the strength of the local economy in Norway.

Recruiting within the highly developed environment Norway presents at this level can be difficult regardless of whether you are looking for partners, board members, or considering a new executive. That is why, as an expert in the field, we understand that simply hunting public job boards will not suffice, especially for the type of talent our clients are looking for. In order to be able to perform and find the right talent matches in the shortest time frame, we need a more involved search process.

An executive search is a complex process, and at Keller Executive Search, we know that finding talent with only technical skills but no leadership ability will never be a good fit for our clients. It is critical that the candidates we put forward are more than industry specialists. Our goal is to find a leader who is willing to remain with a client business and work together with them for a sustained period. In order for this to work, the candidate also needs to fit in with the company culture.

Our Executive Search Process

Keller Executive Search’s process always starts with one of our top-tier recruiters taking the time to sit down with a client’s board, decision makers, or hiring managers. The goal of this meeting is to set expectations, get a feel for what our clients want out of the hire, and to create the “ideal candidate profile.” Our aim is to find a candidate who most closely resembles that profile.

Our recruiters then access their extensive talent network. This broad search is used to pool together as many qualified candidates from Norway and internationally as possible. Because our recruiters are experienced and have worked in the industry for a long time, they have contacts that allow them to access passive talent that may not even be actively searching for a job, giving you access to candidates that are not available to anyone else. Once we have a list of qualified candidates, our recruiters then start working on screening.

The goal of screening is to sift out all candidates we don’t believe would be a good fit for our client’s organization. Our screening process is on par with the best in the world. It is made up of psychological assessments, behavioral testing, practical scenarios testing, and, of course, a full background check. We check criminal histories, cross-check professional references, and do a full background investigation. From here, we can identify a shortlist of the best possible candidates available to you.

But our search process does not end there. To make things as seamless as possible, once our clients have selected the candidates they would like to speak to, our recruiters will introduce the candidates to the necessary people in our client’s organization and do all the scheduling and setting up for initial interviews. If needed, we are also happy to handle these interviews, allowing clients to handle only the second or final round of interviews.

If, for any reason, the candidate we selected does not work out, whether they did not live up to client expectations or they struggled to fit into the company’s culture, we are happy to find a replacement free of charge. We just ask that the replacement request is issued within the first 365 days from when the candidate was hired.
