FAQ — Candidates

  • We have a conversation. I want to understand your situation, what you're looking for, and whether this particular role makes sense for you.

    If we both think it's worth exploring, you'll typically go through 2-3 interviews with the client, sometimes a case exercise or leadership assessment depending on the role.

    No pressure at any stage. It's your decision.

  • Not immediately. Let's talk first.

    If you want to proceed, I'll send a link to upload your CV. You'll also be asked to approve our candidate terms.

    Tip: Keep your CV aligned with your LinkedIn — use the CV to expand on things you'd rather not share publicly.

  • As much as I can: role scope, organization structure, culture, technical environment. I'll also ask about your salary expectations — open dialogue about compensation is normal here in the Nordics.

    Some details may need to wait until later in the process for confidentiality reasons, but I won't waste your time with vague descriptions.

  • Occasionally. Our focus is permanent placements, but clients sometimes need interim leadership or experts. Let me know if that's what you're looking for.

  • All conversations are confidential — that's foundational to how I work. GDPR compliant systems and processes. Explicit consent before anything is shared. Privacy policy
