When you find exactly the right person for the job, it creates momentum, joy and value in the business. A wrong hire, on the other hand, if you find the wrong one it costs time, money, and internal disturbance. That is why a thorough recruitment process is crucial for both companies and candidates.
To find the right person, we need to understand both the company, the culture, and the role you are looking to fill. What do you want to achieve by replacing or hiring for this position?
The first step is therefore an alignment meeting, where we uncover your expectations for the role – both professionally and personally. Just as importantly, we dive into your company’s values, culture, strategy, and future plans.
This gives Found a holistic understanding, ensuring that we can identify the right person for your business..
Based on the alignment meeting, we initiate a comprehensive search process.
We search within our network, talent pool, relevant databases, and companies. We can also create a job posting – either named with your company or anonymous.
We approach potential candidates discreetly and with a personal, considered approach.
At Found, one person manages the entire process. Neither candidates nor clients will experience information getting lost along the way. This continuity ensures that candidates feel seen and are not asked to repeat themselves. The best candidates do not want to be passed around between multiple people at a headhunting firm.
Found screens candidates based on the defined key success factors and creates a shortlist.
We present the candidates who show the greatest potential to match your organisation, and together we select who you would like to meet.
The initial meeting is informal and personal. We aim to build a genuine connection, allowing us to understand the individual in full.
If both parties remain interested after the first meeting, we move forward and facilitate the next stages of the process. This typically includes personality assessments, skills tests, case work, and reference checks in the final phase.
We don’t let go of either you or your new employee once the contract is signed.
We follow up continuously to ensure everything is progressing as expected.
Close and honest collaboration
Thorough and clear process
+20 years of experience
Found believes that a close and honest collaboration creates an efficient process and the best match between people and organisations. Our goal is that neither companies nor candidates waste time and energy on the wrong hire.
We look at the bigger picture and match on qualifications, values and chemistry. For us, data and technology are important tools, but the best matches happen in genuine human relationships — not when algorithms try to solve the puzzle.
Spend your time on what matters
We believe that it creates great value for a company to let an external recruitment companysolve the specialized and time-consuming task of finding therightcandidate for the job. We can impartially keep you updated on what the good candidates are doing and whether they are in the market for a new job challenge.
You simply need to brief Found thoroughly on who you are, what you want to achieve and which problems you want solved. Then we do the groundwork and present the people we believe will both fit the role and fit in.
I believe in a direct and very honest dialogue with both companies and candidates. Otherwise you risk hiring the wrong person. Both parties need to have the courage to ask about things that may be uncomfortable to talk about. We help mobilize that courage.
“For me, recruitment is about helping companies and people come together in a meaningful and exciting professional match.”

"No one is above anyone else. We believe in openness, honesty and full transparency. Otherwise, the end result reflects that – and it never ends well for any of the parties. FOUND creates matches that last."
