Executive Search

In Executive Search, we offer a wide range of services to meet different needs when the challenge is to fill new skills in the organization.

Board Recruitment

Hiring an external party to recruit board members demonstrates a professional approach to the composition of the board to ensure high quality governance of the company. We have experience of board recruitment and are happy to advise on how the process should be handled in a professional manner. We have a broad network in both Sweden and internationally which we use when identifying potential board members.

ExecutiveSearch

Executive Search in our definition is a structured and proactive methodology where we, based on a well-developed mission statement and established profile, map the market and actively seek out the most suitable candidates. Over the years, we have built up a solid network which enables us to quickly identify relevant candidates for the specific assignment. Our main focus is on leaders and strategically important and business-related key positions.

Executive Search is a recruitment method used to identify, attract and present candidates in key positions to our clients. Most often, this method works best for leadership roles as we can work without advertising and more efficiently and accurately seek out candidates who are not looking for new work themselves. The method involves a thorough analysis of the company, the board and the specific position. We can often act as a sounding board and challenge the client in terms of candidate profile and role description.

We may advertise the position publicly in some cases, but the focus is always on seeking out the candidates most suitable for the role and those who are not actively seeking new challenges.

When can Executive Search be the most effective method?

Sometimes it is about replacing a person in a leading role where the client has tried to advertise but has not achieved the desired result. Sometimes the client does not want to signal that a person in a key position is about to be replaced, which can send the wrong signals internally or externally.

The basis of our Executive Search process is to first get a mission statement in place. This includes, among other things, a common goal for the owners and the board, a company description from an operational and strategic perspective, financial information, role description, areas of responsibility, KPIs, expected results achieved in the short and long term.

Three reasons to choose bop

  1. All Based On People consultants have previous experience in senior positions in the business world. Of course, we share our candidate network and all contacts between each other. 
  2. At least two senior consultants work together in each assignment. It is these consultants who contact candidates in assignments, which means that we quickly and efficiently get access and dialog with relevant candidates.
  3. In order for the process to be successful, we work "together" with you as a customer, which means continuous, transparent dialog throughout the process. Frequent meetings and open communication are the basis for a successful recruitment.
