Swiftly addressing client needs and delivering top-tier professionals for critical roles, Interim Search dominates the interim recruitment landscape, standing as Sweden’s largest firm and the third largest in Europe. Its exclusive focus on interim roles, supported by a meticulously refined process developed over 12 years, has firmly established them as Sweden’s leading provider. The rigorous selection process ensures exceptional quality and cultural fit.

“We help our clients identify and prioritize the most crucial aspects to bridge the gap until a permanent resource is in place,” says AnnaCarin Stolpe, Director and Head of International Desk.

Drawing on a network of over 15,000 meticulously vetted consultants, Interim Search ensures that clients receive precisely

the talent they need. This proactive approach enables the placement of the right candidate within five working days or as quickly as 48 hours for urgent needs.

Central to this efficiency is a comprehensive business management system that serves as its operational hub. Providing control and security, the system ensures accurate placements and rapid closures for every assignment.

Agile Execution, Global Expertise

A team of seasoned senior consultants and a tech-savvy research group form the backbone of Interim Search. C-level experience ensures consultants make optimal candidate matches while the research team swiftly identifies and vets talent. The effective combination of these strengths, along with strong connections in Swedish and international markets, enables it to efficiently handle seven to 10 new assignments weekly, ensuring proactive candidate engagement and swift communication.

The challenges of filling critical roles with extended recruitment timelines is met with Interim Search’s vital support. Operational stability is maintained with interim solutions and reporting guidance until permanent hires are secured. At the same time, organizational changes are managed to ensure smooth transitions. The integrated approach effectively resolves both immediate staffing gaps and prolonged hiring complexities.

For new business ventures, Interim Search provides experienced entrepreneurs to lead during the startup phase. As the business matures, its interim consultants offer the flexibility required for a smooth transition to a permanent leader who matches the evolving needs.

Specializing in Swedish and international firms with European headquarters, it ensures smooth implementation of parent company processes and seamless integration across global markets. For instance, when the Straumann Group needed a Sales Manager for its Finland office with a strong sales background and fluency in Finnish, Interim Search delivered a bilingual consultant with a strong sales profile and international experience. The manager quickly developed the team and drove sales growth.

In a similar situation, when a Swedish global company required swift integration of a U.S. acquisition, it deployed a consultant to Texas within 72 hours. The consultant drove change management, shaped corporate culture and optimized various business functions, demonstrating the firm’s ability to effectively handle complex staffing needs.

Successfully operating on an international scale has enabled it to expand globally, filling roles across the U.S., Asia and the biggest market Europe.

The international reach is further supported by competitive and transparent pricing. Clients benefit from rates that are matched or reduced if candidates are recruited independently, ensuring exceptional value. This transparency fosters satisfaction and reinforces reliability.

To further improve operational efficiency, Interim Search uses advanced technologies. A self-billing system enhances invoicing accuracy through app-based work hour submissions and digital client approvals. The CRM system streamlines agreements with digital signing and secure verification, ensuring precise consultant-client matching.

Combining rapid responsiveness with pinpoint accuracy, Interim Search provides seamless global staffing solutions, solidifying its position as the top choice for immediate and impactful interim placements.
