The power of understanding

Search-based recruitment, assessment and coaching services, with a passion for people and business

What we want

With our combined experience of more than 40 years in executive search, assessment, senior leadership roles and from coaching and developing people and organizations, we are convinced there is no single perfect candidate for a certain position. However, there might be a perfect match!

It’s all about understanding both the context and the candidate, and we take great pride in doing so!

We believe that is why our customers trust us in helping them recruiting for managerial and specialist positions as well as senior positions within sales and marketing. Why they use us to assess individuals or groups to get an in-depth understanding, and why we are a natural choice for coaching managers in order to improve their leadership.

We want to be a very important partner to a few clients and work with them for a long time and we are proud of the fact that no less than 87% of our assignments come from direct recommendations.

How may we help you?

You are in good company!

Skoog | Stjerna has helped PR Vård with 6-7 recruitments of key employees (operational managers and specialist functions) as well as with assessment of both internal employees and external candidates over the past two and a half years. We have also hired Skoog | Stjerna to coach managers. Modern and clear processes, great communication during the process, in-depth assessments, and good follow-ups. We are extremely satisfied with the cooperation.

Skoog | Stjerna helped us recruit a Head of Content IFRS related to our expansion to the Swedish market. They acted professionally, structured, and came up with a lot of good advice during the process. They were always available for discussions along the way and continously kept us up to date on the progress of the recruitment process. We were impressed by how good candidates they managed to find and bring to the table and we are very pleased with the candidate we hired.

The rapid and positive response after the first contact was crucial, together with a solid experience in both recruitment and sales, when we decided to partner with Skoog | Stjerna in recruiting a Sales Director for Sweden. Ongoing feedback and reconciliations during the process allowed us to prioritize and make decisions, which gave me a feeling of high commitment and professionalism. We are incredibly pleased with the result.

VD LAPP Miltronic
We are very satisfied with Skoog | Stjerna. We have cooperated with Valter for about seven specialist assignments since 2019. We are happy to use a "house consultant" who gets to know our business. What I have appreciated in our collaboration is primarily Valter's professional approach to us as a client. He is client oriented, easy to work with, flexible and accessible (despite often short notice or for quick reconciliations outside normal business hours).
