Detektor Executive Search

Detektor Executive Search was established in spring 2004 and has become an established player in executive recruitment and leadership selection. The company helps private and public, Norwegian and international organisations win the competition for top candidates. Detektor accomplishes this primarily through thorough and targeted executive search processes, but also through advertised assignments and management audits. The company also assists with recruitment of board chairs and board members, with services typically including elements focused on completing boards with regard to diversity, experience, skills and personal qualities.

Since 1998, Detektor has assisted numerous sectors with active market search for leaders and senior key employees. Today the main focus of assignments lies within industry, energy, technology, finance and insurance, service industries and the public sector. All consultants at Detektor have extensive experience in research and market segmentation, and the company utilises specialist expertise in these areas as needed. This approach contributes to better results and makes Detektor more comprehensive advisors. The company believes that correct motivation is crucial for good results and invests considerable time in candidate selection processes.

Detektor operates from its offices in the historic Hydro building at Frogner in Oslo, where it has been based since 2004. The company's philosophy centres on quality over quantity, with consultants motivated by offering sound advice and solutions rather than volume of placements. Detektor maintains strict control over the number of concurrent assignments to ensure flexibility and the ability to deliver the extra effort often required for complex and demanding projects. The company aims to be one of the preferred firms within executive search and leadership selection by reducing the risk of mis-hiring through fact-based recruitment decisions and value-based selection processes that focus on motivation and personal suitability.
