Read how I work with AIFive assignments spanning CTO and organisation building through to hard-to-find technology specialists. Here is the short version of what made the roles difficult and how the right candidate conversation moved things forward.
Alleima
When Alleima was separating from Sandvik, a new IT organisation had to be built from the ground up. I started with the CTO and then continued with roles including Head of Infrastructure, developers, data scientists and cybersecurity specialists.

A narrow platform role where most relevant specialists were already happily employed. A clearer picture of the team's day-to-day work and personal conversations beyond advertising helped fill the role.
Read the full client caseBurde Publishing
Burde had searched for a long time for a full-stack developer who could own the whole solution and give AI a considered place in the product. Once we made that need concrete, I found the candidate through my network.

Only 30 people across the Nordic region matched the full requirements. Every contact therefore had to be personal and worth the specialist's time. The individual search led all the way to a hire.

There was no finished recruitment function to step into. Processes, systems and candidate networks had to be built while the business also needed to start hiring.

When you need senior developers, architects, AI profiles, data, cybersecurity or other specialist roles where standard advertising is not enough.
When you need an experienced TA partner who can step in quickly, run processes and create structure for the team.
When hiring pace increases and you need to prioritize roles, build pipeline and get hiring managers working effectively together.
