What is Talent Acquisition?

Talent Acquisition gives you access to a dedicated recruitment resource that works as an integrated part of your organisation, supporting your ongoing or recurring hiring needs. This can range from managing a single recruitment process from start to finish to strengthening your existing team over time. Unlike Executive Search, which typically focuses on specific strategic or senior-level hires, Talent Acquisition is particularly well suited to organisations looking to recruit multiple specialists and managers over time. If you instead need to bring in an experienced leader for a limited period, Executive Interim may be a better fit.

The Benefits of Talent Acquisition

Flexibility
We can step in and deliver a single recruitment assignment, presenting qualified candidates within three weeks, or work alongside you for several years as your external recruitment partner. Our approach is tailored to your needs and complements your existing Talent Acquisition and recruitment capabilities.
Commitment
We take a proactive, forward-thinking approach to understanding your needs and what it takes to succeed. Every assignment is managed by a team, giving you access to diverse perspectives, networks, and expertise. Our commitment is also reflected in consistently high NPS scores from both clients and candidates, as we continuously gather feedback and evaluate their experience throughout the entire process.
Efficiency
We combine proven search and recruitment processes with modern tools, tailoring each process to your specific needs. This ensures both speed and precision. On average, we present qualified candidates within three weeks of kickoff, with an average time to hire of 65 days.

Why Head Agent?

With business insight, clear advice and the confidence to challenge, we help you find a leader who can make a difference. We are personally invested in your success, take ownership of the process and stay close when you need us.

Business first
We want to understand where your business is heading and what your new leader needs to achieve. Your strategy, the role’s authority, owners’ expectations and executive team dynamics help us define the assignment. Together, we distinguish between impressive credentials and the experience, capabilities and motivations that matter for success.
We challenge
We bring our own perspective and speak openly about what we see. That may mean rethinking the role requirements, introducing an unexpected candidate or raising a concern about a favourite. We explain our assessments and discuss them with you. You gain an adviser who helps you see more possibilities and make an informed decision.
Focused search
Our established network and targeted market mapping give us access to relevant leaders, including those not looking for a new role. Engaging them takes an informed conversation about your business, the role’s authority and the opportunity to make an impact. We invest in that dialogue and in understanding what would motivate the right person to make a move.
Close partnership
You gain a committed partner who understands the assignment and is there when important decisions need to be made. We lead the process, give clear advice and address difficult questions openly. By showing candidates the same care, we build trust in you as an employer. Our commitment continues through the start of employment and follow-up.

We work with fixed fees based on the scope of the project, the number of hires, and the complexity of the roles. This provides clarity and predictability around costs from the very start.

Instead of managing each recruitment as a separate assignment, we bring multiple hires together into one coordinated project. This creates economies of scale, accelerates the recruitment process, and ensures a more consistent approach – while providing you with a dedicated recruitment team.

We believe in a team-based approach. Depending on the scope of the project, we bring together the right expertise for each assignment. This ensures greater capacity, continuity, and the ability to manage multiple recruitment processes in parallel.

6. What does the process look like?

We start by working closely with you to define your recruitment needs, roles, objectives, and priorities. From there, we assemble the project team and establish a clear structure and timeline. Head Agent then manages the entire recruitment process, or selected parts of it – from defining role requirements and conducting search to interviews, candidate selection, assessments, and reference checks.

7. How long does the recruitment process take?

A recruitment process at Head Agent takes approximately 65 days on average. The timeline varies depending on the role and candidate market, but by managing multiple processes in parallel with a dedicated team, we can maintain a fast pace throughout the entire project.

We recruit across a wide range of specialist and management roles that drive business performance, spanning areas such as marketing, sales, finance, business development, and HR. Some of the roles we frequently fill include Marketing Manager, Key Account Manager, Management Consultant, Brand Manager, Finance Manager, and Customer Success Manager. For each assignment, we assess your specific talent needs and assemble a team with the right experience and expertise to successfully fill the roles.

10. How does Head Agent find candidates?

We combine proactive search, our extensive network, candidate database, job advertising through our own channels, and digital tools. Our focus is on reaching both actively seeking candidates and those who need to be identified and approached proactively.

11. How does Head Agent ensure a positive candidate experience?

The candidate experience is at the heart of our approach. We prioritize a structured process with timely updates, clear communication, and personalized feedback throughout every stage – whether a candidate progresses or not. In 2026, we were recognized for delivering the best candidate experience, based on candidate feedback measured by Trustcruit/Jobylon.

12. Can Talent Acquisition be combined with Head Agent’s other services?

Yes. As your needs evolve, Talent Acquisition can be combined with Executive Search for particularly senior or business-critical hires, and Executive Interim when your organization needs immediate access to the right expertise.

Process

How we approach Talent Acquisition

1. Role requirements

At the start of each assignment, we work closely with you to define a detailed role profile. This clearly outlines the role’s mandate, responsibilities, and key tasks, as well as the skills, experience, and personal qualities required. Head Agent uses a competency and behavioral profile to ensure a clear and well-defined set of requirements.

2. Research

We conduct market mapping based on the role requirements to identify and approach the candidates best suited for the position. Our search always combines individuals from our established network with candidates specifically identified and approached for the assignment. During an initial phone interview, we introduce your company and the opportunity, while assessing each candidate’s suitability for the role.

3. Assessment & selection

The most relevant and interested candidates identified during the market mapping process are invited to an in-depth interview. Head Agent conducts competency-based interviews tailored to the role requirements defined together with you. This allows us to gain a deeper understanding of each candidate’s skills, motivations, and track record. Particular emphasis is placed on assessing behavioral traits and personal qualities.

4. Candidate presentation

The most relevant and interested candidates, based on the role requirements, are shortlisted and presented to you. Head Agent coordinates and schedules interviews with your team, while maintaining close contact with candidates and following up on their continued interest throughout the entire process.

5. Verification

Head Agent always conducts two to three formal reference checks for the final candidate to verify that the insights gained throughout the process align with the feedback from their references. When agreed upon and/or relevant, assessments and background checks are typically carried out at this stage.

6. Finalization

The selected candidate signs the employment contract. Head Agent provides guidance and support to both parties ahead of signing. We also ensure that all candidates we have been in contact with throughout the process receive feedback and a clear conclusion.

7. Uppföljning

After approximately three months of employment, Head Agent follows up with both the hiring manager and the new employee.

We have completed several successful assignments through Head Agent Talent Acquisition. Always efficiently, smoothly, and with high-quality candidates.”
- John Peters, Head of Operations på Sweetspot
The collaboration with the consultants from Head Agent Talent Acquisition exceeded our expectations. Their commitment and dedication were evident as they worked full-time to advance our interests. Through regular communication and follow-ups, they ensured a clear understanding of our needs and expectations. This gave me great confidence in their expertise and in their ability to represent our company in the best possible way. In addition, they were a genuine pleasure to work with. ”
- Alexander Nordwall, Talent Acquisition Manager på StoryKit
I am very satisfied with the professional approach and attitude. You have not made unrealistic promises or commitments that cannot be delivered – something clients are unfortunately quite used to in tech recruitments. In other words, your sales approach, execution, and communication have all been consistently professional and reliable.”
- Carl Anderberg Almhorn, Projektledare på IVEO DIGITAL AGENCY
