Interim Search expands – scaling up in the Norwegian market in 2026
Following several successful years in the Norwegian market via its International Desk, Interim Search is now taking the next natural step in its growth journey. During 2026, a dedicated Norwegian operation will be established with the ambition of becoming Norway’s premier partner in Interim Management.
Interim Search is currently Sweden’s largest player in the industry with a very strong reputation. By establishing a full-scale presence in Oslo, the company strengthens its Nordic position to meet the growing demand for senior specialist expertise.
“We have long maintained a strong presence in Norway through our international assignments, but demand has now reached a level where the timing is perfect to fully commit to a local establishment. This is both strategically vital and an exciting next chapter for us,” says AnnaCarin Stolpe, Director & Head of International Desk at Interim Search.
Senior expertise for niche requirements
Interim Search’s business model is clear: to quickly and accurately appoint senior specialists and managers with niche expertise for temporary assignments. In recent years, the company has handled 11 different interim assignments in the Norwegian market, successfully filling roles such as Interim Head of M&A, Interim Finance Manager, Commercial Product Manager, Site Manager, and Group Financial Controller.
“Our strength lies in matching complex needs with the right person in an extremely short timeframe. The roles we have filled in Norway so far demonstrate the breadth of our network and our ability to deliver niche expertise that makes an impact from day one,” AnnaCarin explains.
Value for customers: Experience and precision
For customers, the Norwegian expansion provides direct access to a proven methodology and a quality-assured consultant network. In a market characterized by rapid change, the ability to hire niche expertise becomes a decisive competitive advantage.
“We are always looking for ways to create more value for our clients. By being closer to the Norwegian market, we can offer the same high level of service and deep expertise that has made us Sweden’s leading provider,” says AnnaCarin.
A Nordic leader with local expertise
With the 2026 establishment in Oslo, Interim Search solidifies its position as the leading interim provider in the Nordics. This move not only creates new opportunities for Norwegian companies but also strengthens the offering for existing clients with Nordic operations.
“We have proven that our concept works internationally. We now look forward to continuing to build strong relationships and delivering senior expertise to Norwegian companies facing change, growth, or a need for specialist skills,” AnnaCarin concludes.
