Cojn Executive

Cojn Executive AB is a Swedish executive search and recruitment company based in Linköping which specialises in assignments involving chefer och specialister, managers and specialists, regardless of industry. Together the team at Cojn Executive has over 35 years of combined experience in the sector. The company works across six named services: executive search, rekrytering, individual ledarutveckling, grupputveckling, second opinion, and tester och verktyg. Its role, as it describes it, is to contribute high competence in order to support, strengthen and develop its clients' organisations at both individual and group level.

Because the company is not tied to one industry, the range of completed assignments is what defines its practice. Its published sample covers general management and finance leadership with VD, CEO, CFO and Ekonomichef appointments; commercial and communications roles including Marknadschef, Kommunikationschef, Informationschef and Key Account Managers; human resources with Personaldirektör, HR Chef, Personalchef and Förhandlingschef; public sector leadership with Kommundirektör and Kyrkoherde; and operational, industrial and supply chain management with Produktionschef, Process- och Underhållschef, Supply Chain Manager, Logistikchef, Inköpschef, strategisk inköpare, Byggchef, VA Chef, Quality Manager, Transport and Planning Manager and Customer Service Manager.

Cojn Executive operates from Box 11032 in Linköping. Beyond filling roles it offers second opinion work, giving clients an independent assessment of a candidate they are already considering, and it uses structured tests and tools to support its judgements. The company states that for its consultants it is just as important to understand a client's company culture as it is to understand the strategies and the business and operational goals, which is the argument it makes for why its appointments hold. It also publishes a yrkesetik statement setting out the professional ethics it works to.
