We move Nordic professionals into international roles. Then we stay involved, long after they land.

Before signature: Alignment, both sides, same questions
After: Follow-up at 30 / 90 / 180 days

01 / The move

Getting the job is one thing.Building a life around it is another.

The offer is the easy part. What follows is a flight, a lease, a language, a bank, a school, and a first week where you know nobody. We treat that as part of the work, because it is the part that decides whether the job lasts.

A scale model of an unfurnished flat in the evening, one lamp, a laptop on a folding table, boxes against the wall. — **HEL to AMS** Day 4 A flat with nothing in it yet.

02 / Where the roles are

The work is somewhere else.Usually somewhere ordinary.

We work on roles across Europe and beyond. The city changes. What decides whether the move holds does not.

And the other way

Sometimes the move is home.

Part of the network is Nordic professionals already working abroad who want to come back. Those searches run the same way, in the same order, with the same questions.

And it runs in both directions. If you are not Nordic and your next move is Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen or Helsinki, that is a search we take too.

03 / Is this you

Most people we placewere not looking.

You are good at what you do, and nobody outside your country knows it.
You have been asked to move before, and the timing was wrong.
You are not unhappy. You are just not finished.
You have a family, and that is the actual question, not a footnote.
You would go tomorrow for the right thing, and you have never said that out loud.

If any of that is close, that is the whole reason the network exists. It costs nothing and it commits you to nothing.

04 / Your terms

Nothing reaches an employerwithout your yes.

You can be in the network and not be looking. You can hear about a role and say no without explaining. Your name, your employer and your situation stay with us until you say otherwise, per role.

Confidential We do not circulate CVs. Your profile is not posted anywhere.
Per role Your yes covers one role. It is not a standing permission.
No list This is not a mailing list. You hear from us when something fits what you told us.

Empty until you say yes

05 / How it works

Four steps. The third oneis why the job lasts.

This is the whole process. It moves at your pace and takes as long as it takes.

01 / Understood
A conversation

Where you are, what you would move for, and what you would not. No role attached. Nothing is written down that you have not agreed to.
02 / Discussed
A role, or none

When something fits what you described, we bring it to you with the parts that are not in the advert. If nothing fits, you hear nothing. That is the point.
03 / Clarified
Expectations, both ways

Before anyone signs: the role, the manager, the budget, the country, the first ninety days. The questions people are too polite to ask, asked by us instead.
04 / Aligned
The move

Notice, timing, the practical side of arriving. Then we do not disappear.

06 / After you land

Placement is an event.Retention is the outcome.

Leaving is easy. Landing is the work. We check in with you and with your employer at thirty days, at ninety, and at one hundred and eighty. Most agencies are gone by then. If what you were promised is not what you got, that is our conversation to take, not yours alone.

07 / For employers

Hiring a Nordic professional?

Tell us the role. We will tell you honestly whether we can fill it, what it would take, and how long. If we are not the right firm for it, we will say so in the first conversation.
