'The best man' for a senior, board or management position is seldom actively looking for a new working environment. An advertisement also may provide you a huge response, it doesn't always lead to the optimum candidate you'd wished for. A direct approach does, if proceeded with a careful analysis and executed sharply and targeted.

The senior job level, the specific expertise needed, the scarcity of the profile on the market, the need for a silent search are all possible determining factors for starting a direct search. Like any other assignment, each assignment begins with a detailed vacancy and market analysis. This information provides the necessary basis for selection strategy, selection interviews and the choice of psychometric tools and assessments.

Björk is able to analyze, dig in, find, approach and select the right person, supported by our substantial network of contacts, desk research, competition search, file searches, sourcing of experts and external information services. The selection of candidates is accomplished on the basis of their expertise, experience, ambitions, personality and competencies. Appropriate candidates (with CV and extensive accompanying information) are presented to the client as part of the proposed deliverables and within the given timeframes.
