Three core areas, one rigorous methodology
Whether the mandate concerns a senior executive, a board seat, or structured candidate evaluation, the work rests on the same principles: precise role definition, targeted search, and fact-based assessment.
Executive Search
Recruitment of senior leaders and key personnel for organizations that demand precision and discretion.
The process begins with a thorough mapping of the role, the organization's strategy, and the culture the candidate will operate in. A targeted search follows — often reaching beyond the open market — combined with structured interviews and reference checks.
Drawing on Pedersen & Partners' international network and more than three decades in the industry, the search covers industrial, commercial leadership and specialist roles, both in Norway and internationally.
Typical mandates
Board Advisory
Identifying and assessing board members who complement the owners' and the organization's need for competence and perspective.
An effective board takes more than strong résumés — it requires the right mix of competence, experience and dynamics. The work starts with an assessment of the board's current composition and the gaps that need to be filled, before relevant candidates are identified and evaluated.
Suited for
Assessment
Structured, fact-based evaluation as a complement to interviews — for more confident hiring and board decisions.
Assessments draw on certified psychometric tools — including SHL OPQ32 and Verify, MBTI, Cut-e and Profiles International — combined with structured interviews. This provides a broader and more objective basis for decision-making than conversation alone.
The service can also be used independently of a search mandate, for example in internal leadership mapping or development.
