IRC network’s global reach benefits from local Nordic expertise


2010/09/15

Increased recognition of IRC Global Executive Search Partners’ (IRC) network potential is the aim of the newly elected Nordics Team Leader (NTL), Rolf K. Nilsen of Oslo-based Personal Utvelgelse.

“For us, and our partner members in Denmark, Sweden and Finland, IRC has
exciting potential for our cross-border business – which benefits all our
clients throughout the Nordic region.”
Rolf K. Nilsen, Personal Utvelgelse

The Nordic business perspective means connecting to the right people in the right industry. That face-to-face business approach has resulted in significant success in the key Pharmaceutical/Life Sciences industry. Mr. Nilsen believes the IRC Global Executive Search Partners connection will also offer opportunities in other targeted industries. “For our Nordic member partners, the IRC connection has potential to develop more cross-border business, as clients increasingly recognize the IRC Global Executive Search Partners global brand and the benefits of global network resources,” he explains. “We’re seeing a gradual recovery from slow business in 2009, although market uncertainties means clients are still hesitant to commit to new positions.”

Nordic region member companies’ joint commitment to IRC Global Executive Search Partners has resulted in
increased network and business understanding, leading to the recruitment of new clients – as a direct result of the IRC Nordic partnership, confirms Mr. Nilsen.

“I believe the IRC Global Executive Search Partners network offers us the opportunity to work collaboratively in building and branding the Nordics region, and to provide
superlative cross-country client satisfaction.”
Rolf K. Nilsen, Personal Utvelgelse

During his NTL term, Mr. Nilsen is also committed to increase IRC Global Executive Search Partners awareness in the Nordic countries: “Since 2009, all staff meet and discuss strategy and operations – it’s an important link in
expanding the our network in the Nordic regions, and providing superior executive search capabilities.
Clients have come to recognize IRC Global Executive Search Partners as a network they can trust – and we will
continue to build on that foundation.”
