From the outside, executive search looks like finding a new key person for the company’s management team. In reality, it is a much deeper process.
Executive search is always an opportunity to pause and examine the current state of the company and its leadership. It helps to identify what additional expertise or perspective would unlock the company’s full potential and move it towards its next strategic goals.
With Equita Talent Partners, executive search is a development journey – a shared process in which professional execution and human interaction go hand in hand. We are inspired by finding people for our clients who combine capability, fit and the drive to grow – people who strengthen the company’s own leadership capital.
We carry out searches for CEOs, management team members, C-level executives and other key people with a sure touch, a big heart and a firm sense that the work matters.
For us, executive search is a personal, people-centred service – from the perspective of the company, the candidates and the consultants alike.
We take the time to get to know the company and its key decision-makers’ views on its future direction and on the role of the new appointee. Together we ask, explore and reflect to find the best solution right from the start.
We read potential candidates like an open book - listening to their experiences and stories to identify signals of great compatibility. We get to know the candidates as people: their career path, their situation, their motivations and their goals.
Drawing on our experience, we assess holistically how the candidates’ skills and leadership match the company’s expectations and the search profile. We also place great importance on exploring company culture and on a dialogue about values, because the right working environment only emerges when values and people meet.
We handle each assignment with care, approachability and flexibility, but with the appropriate seriousness. We want the process to feel accommodating and caring for all parties - and for everyone involved to learn something new every time.
We believe that a well-executed executive search supports leadership in a broad sense and leaves a positive, long-lasting experience.
Executive search starts with a cooperation agreement and a definition of the role to be filled. We agree on a clear timeline and make sure everyone shares the same understanding of the objectives of the search.
From an early stage, we provide a view of potential candidate profiles to help you get the direction and boundary conditions of the search right. We then dive into an efficient and stimulating search phase, combining precision and speed.
When presenting candidates, we go through the options together, support you in the final interviews and, where needed, provide additional services such as reference checks and suitability assessments. We act as a sounding board, support you in decision-making and make sure communication with all parties is smooth and respectful.
The end result is more than a filled position. It is a successful joint process that strengthens the company’s leadership and leaves a mark – a good one – on everyone involved.
We carry out assignments throughout Finland and Sweden. Find out how our executive search process works In Helsinki, In Espoo, In Vantaa, In Tampere, In Turku, In Oulu, In Rovaniemi and In Stockholm.
