2006 Founder and management buy out Talentia and start partnership with Ruter Dam for recruitment of female board members

2009 We appoint the intrapreneur of the year for the first time and launch the Talentia model

2023 We carry out our 200th CEO recruitment and have made over 1000 C-level appointments

Since 1999, we have developed a unique knowledge of what underlies extraordinary ability and execution power in businesses, management groups and individuals. In the proprietary Talentia model™, insights from over 1000 C-level recruitments, 200 CEO recruitments and thousands of individual assessments have been combined with theories and research findings. In the last 25 years, we have been hired by Swedish as well as international venture capital companies, listed companies, family offices, startups, owner-managed companies, family businesses, authorities and non-profit organizations. to help them make a difference. We plan to continue with that.

A selection of our investments

Central to us is our endeavor to develop as a company and as an actor in the recruitment industry. This is expressed, among other things, in our investment strategy. We are active owners in tech companies where we see growth opportunities and potential to challenge the traditional recruitment industry. We use the technology we invest in every day and as a result we free up more time for advice and evaluation in our recruitment processes, which ultimately leads to more qualified recruits.
