Bevaka chefsroller

Stockholms headhunter-marknad

Stockholm samlar över 40 procent av Nordens huvudkontor och har den högsta koncentrationen av executive search-firmor i regionen. Stadens branschmix — tech, finans, konsulting, life science och retail — skapar en bred efterfrågan på seniora ledare. De flesta VD-, CFO- och C-level-tillsättningar i Stockholm sker genom headhunters som arbetar proaktivt och konfidentiellt på uppdrag av styrelser och ägare. Det innebär att den som inte bevakar dessa firmor regelbundet riskerar att missa relevanta möjligheter.

Vilka headhunter-firmor finns i Stockholm?

Bland de mest etablerade Stockholm-baserade headhunter-firmorna märks Novare, Michael Berglund, Mercuri Urval, Alumni, CAPA, Mason och Head Agent. Dessa har djupa nätverk inom Stockholms näringsliv och hanterar allt från VD-tillsättningar till interimsuppdrag. Utöver dessa finns internationella aktörer som Korn Ferry, Heidrick & Struggles, Russell Reynolds, Egon Zehnder och Spencer Stuart med Stockholmskontor. Specialiserade boutique-firmor som Bondi (life science), Lager & Partners (finans), Signpost (mångfald) och Burgundy Partners (PE-ägda bolag) kompletterar bilden.

Vilka chefsroller tillsätts av headhunters i Stockholm?

Stockholms headhunters rekryterar primärt till C-level-roller (VD, CFO, COO, CTO, CHRO), styrelseuppdrag, affärsområdeschefer och VP-nivå. Tech-sektorn driver efterfrågan på CTO:er och VP Engineering. Finanssektorn söker CFO:er och investeringsdirektörer. Konsultbolagen rekryterar Managing Directors. Interim management är ett växande segment, särskilt inom tech och finans där snabba förändringar kräver erfarna interimledare.
