People – a decisive difference for any organisation.
Do you have the right people in place to achieve the organisation's goals? With a thorough evaluation of the organisation, you get the clarity to identify what and who you need to succeed. We have cutting-edge expertise within search and selection to find people who take your business to the next level.
Executive Search & Selection
Decisions today create tomorrow's opportunities. We know that it is the people who are the company's most important resource. We give you clarity and highlight the opportunities that you yourself may not see, so that even the most ambitious goals become achievable.
Needs
Successful businesses have ambitions and goals anchored in a clear strategy. However, without the right organisation in place, it can be difficult to implement the strategy. We act as a trusted partner in improving organisational performance, finding the people you need to achieve your goals.
We dare to ask the right questions, even the uncomfortable ones, so that we ensure a thorough understanding of your business. What challenges and opportunities exist today and tomorrow? What priorities must be made to achieve the goals? What characterizes the culture in the company, and how does it affect the results? In our initial conversations, we like to talk to several internal stakeholders and collect the necessary internal and external information.

Find and engage
Our candidate searches have a methodical and analytical approach and are always based on the job analysis defined in the initial phase. Since our inception in 1985, we have developed good solutions for identifying and attracting candidates through our ever-growing network both in Norway and internationally. We can also contribute with targeted advertising where appropriate. This ensures a wide selection of candidates who have both the competence and potential to succeed in the role.
Assess
Any assessment of the candidate's suitability starts first when the person considered has been found professionally qualified. This often happens after the first meeting with both the client and us. The final candidates are invited to an in-depth interview with PU, where the candidates have previously completed suitable tests and assignments. These form the basis for the hypotheses that are examined in more detail in a confidential conversation with the candidate. We ask open-ended questions and go in-depth into the candidate's history, as well as discuss the choices and decisions that have helped shape their career into what it is today. Before we give our final recommendation, we make a thorough assessment of each candidate based on information collected through interviews, test results, assignments, and sufficient reference checks.
Follow up
During the first year, we always follow up with both the client and the new employee to check that the collaboration is working well, and that the requirements and expectations from both parties have been met. We at PU like to deliver quality. Hence, all feedback will contribute to our development for your benefit.
Organisational assessments
Have you hired the right people to ensure the success of your organisation? We are experts in carrying out assessments. By assessing the employees against the company's strategy and objectives, we highlight the opportunities that you yourself may not see.
Needs
Do you want to assess whether your management team has personalities that complement each other? Do you need to make necessary changes in the staffing situation? Do you want to promote one of your employees to lead the department they are currently a part of? Do you feel that a team or department is not performing as expected? Should two organisations become one after a merger or acquisition? There are many situations where you as a leader want an objective assessment of the people in your organisation.
As a trusted partner, we need to understand you and your organisation. We dare to ask the right questions, even the uncomfortable ones, so that we ensure a thorough understanding of the entire business. What challenges and opportunities exist today and tomorrow? What priorities must be made to achieve the goals? What characterizes the culture in the company, and how does it affect the results? Together, we will agree on which assessments we need to make in order to give you the best possible basis for decision-making going forward.

Assess
Assessments can be made both at individual and group level. We use several tools in our assessments. Before being assessed, the person or the group will complete suitable tests and assignments. The results of these form a set of hypotheses, which we examine in more detail through a confidential conversation with the individual or group. We ask open-ended questions and go in-depth on topics such as personality, career, results and motivation factors. Finally, the findings will be put in context with each other and against the company's strategy and goals.
We try to answer questions about whether the group has a correct overall competence profile and personality composition, as well as what development potential the group represents. If desired, we can present the findings in plenary and facilitate a discussion about how you as a group can perform better in the future. However, there are some important ethical principles that must be discussed and clarified before any assessment can take place.

Diversity commitment
Diverse companies are more profitable. The more diverse you are, the more likely you are to outperform your competitors. Nevertheless, development has been slower than expected in all industries.
We see it as our mission to contribute to more diverse and inclusive organisations. We want to see you succeed, and the chances of that are greater if you broaden your perspectives through greater diversity. This starts with insight and training of existing employees and often ends in the employment of a more diversified and diverse workforce. We have both the experience and the desire to contribute.
