Product Managers with Scandinavian Skills
Location: Norway
Sector: Content & Media
Job Title: Product Manager
Service Provided: Specialist Recruitment
Shortlist timeframe: 7 candidates shortlisted over 3 weeks
Project brief to closure: 6 weeks from role brief to closure
The Challenge: This client needed a strong independent Product Manager that could negotiate the demands of clients with the limited time and resources of their engineering teams, take ownership of product roadmaps and ensure that the strategy decided at HQ was not lost in translation to the regional offices. In this particular case, they also needed strong local language skills and local market knowledge to help them better operate in the Nordics.
Our Solution: Using our experience as a global recruiter we were able to quickly analyse the likely sources of relevant candidates within the Nordics and adjust our approach to suit the local tastes of the talent. In what can be a very challenging location to hire in we were able to identify a shortlist of 7 candidates where the client had previously struggled to see even 1 or 2 strong candidates.
The Outcome: From the shortlist of 7, 3 candidates were identified as the strongest profile and an expedited interview process resulted in an offer being extended and accepted within 4 weeks.
What the client said:
“In an area in which we had really struggled to find the right candidates, neuco was able to quickly identify the right people for us”
“The clear value of working with neuco is you know our market and more or less all the people working in it”
What the candidate said:
“I had not been actively looking for a new position, but neuco was able to bring me a great role with the opportunity for professional growth that I did not have in my job at that time. They were helpful throughout the process in making sure I had everything I needed”
