Executive Search

Executive Search Stockholm - the right person in the right place

To explain the concept of executive search - or executive recruitment - a company is hired that specializes in recruiting key people in senior positions for other companies. A good example of this is the company Interim Search in Stockholm, which over the years has acquired the routine, expertise and habit that provides value for money.

Our concept is simple. We have chosen to focus on appointing managers and specialists for temporary assignments. This focus allows us to deliver with both speed and precision.

SPEED. The network consists of more than 15,000 associated interim consultants, people who have been personally interviewed beforehand and with whom there is a continuous dialog. This proactive approach allows us to act with superior speed when the need for an interim manager arises.

PRECISION. To ensure that appointments are made with precision against the client's needs, Interim Search has developed a full-scale operations management system. The system acts as a hub in the business and ensures control, security and a consistent and high level of delivery.

We recommend - executive search

To avoid getting stuck with an agency that risks delaying the process if they don't deliver, we recommend the following: go with an agency and give them exclusivity, but for a very limited time. A nimble and established recruiter should be able to present relevant candidates within a few working days.

We at Interim Search are a consulting agency in executive search that specializes in appointing managers and senior specialists on fixed-term assignments. Right from the start, we have focused on finding relevant candidates quickly. Our promise to the market is that we will present a candidate selection within 48 hours, regardless of the qualified role and regardless of where in Sweden the role is stationed.

Frequently asked questions about Executive Search in Stockholm

What is Executive Search?

Executive search is a specialized recruitment method used to identify, evaluate and appoint high-level managers, leaders and other key staff. Unlike traditional recruitment, which is often based on advertising, executive search is a proactive and outreach process that actively surveys the market to find the absolute best candidates, even those who are not actively looking for a new job. The process is characterized by in-depth analysis, discretion and a strategic partnership between the recruitment firm and the client.
What distinguishes Executive Search from regular executive recruitment?

The main difference lies in the methodology. Standard executive recruitment often relies on attracting active candidates through advertising. Executive search, or headhunting, is a more comprehensive research process that systematically identifies and contacts potential candidates (often called passive candidates) who already have successful careers. This ensures a selection of the highest quality, not only among those currently seeking employment.
How does the Interim Search model differ from traditional Executive Search?

Traditional executive search focuses almost exclusively on permanent positions, a process that often takes several months. At Interim Search, we specialize in applying the proactive and qualitative executive search methodology to fixed-term assignments. Our focus is to deliver with both speed and precision. Through our network of over 15,000 pre-interviewed executives and specialists, we can present you with relevant candidates within 48 hours, giving you the leadership skills you need, when you need them.
Why is Stockholm such an important market for Executive Search?

Stockholm is Sweden's business center with a high concentration of headquarters, tech companies and a dynamic, competitive market. This creates a constant demand for qualified leadership. Navigating this market requires deep local knowledge and an extensive network, making specialized executive search services in Stockholm essential for companies looking to attract and recruit the best leaders.
When is it time to use Executive Search?
Companies choose executive search for appointments that are business-critical and where recruitment errors can be very costly. It is particularly appropriate when:
- Discretion is key, for example when a current manager is to be replaced.
- The skills are very specific or difficult to find through traditional channels.
- You want to reach the best candidates, not just those actively looking for work.
- An objective and quality-assured process is necessary to ensure the best possible match.
How quickly can you get results with Executive Search?

A traditional executive search process for a permanent position can take between three to six months. With our specialization in interim solutions, we have adapted our entire business to act with superior speed. Our promise is to submit a qualified candidate selection within 48 hours, regardless of role and location in Sweden.
