Recruitment

As a result of previous successful partnership with Hays in Denmark and internationally, an international listed company and leader in their sector tasked Hays with sourcing a Nordic Finance Director.

Solution

After a meeting and in-depth dialogue about the new organization, the complexity and the contents and challenges of the position, we offered to carry out a Scandinavian search/headhunting process.

Teams in our Accountancy & Finance divisions in different countries conducted a combined extensive search and completed the initial part of the recruitment process, organising interviews, testing and reference taking.

Result

We provided a shortlist of the top candidates from the respective countries after which interviews were held with the candidates submitted. We also assisted with the coordination of meetings as well as travel and hotel bookings and liaised with the candidates to provide feedback.

After three rounds of interviews, the final decision was made and the job was offered to one our top Danish candidates. The candidate has been very successful in his job and has made a huge difference in the Scandinavian finance organisation – we have received excellent feedback from the organisation.
