What do we think the Vikings did better back then than most recruiters do today? They were risk-takers, courageous and innovative, fearless explorers. That is our DNA. Undaunted, we set sail into the "digital sea" together with our clients and candidates.
We are different. We ask questions. We interfere. We advise. We demand. We are honest and do not mince our words. We invest. We have heart and passion. We are partners and act as such.
We also like to laugh at ourselves sometimes - the "nice" version of the Vikings: digital vikings, that is!
