Recruitment
Finding an accountant within 24 hours
Forsman & Bodenfors needed to recruit a senior accountant in less than a day, and with Oddwork’s talent network, they made it a reality.
The mission
Find an experienced accountant
As the fall approached, Eva Carlheim-Müller, the HR Manager at Forsman & Bodenfors, faced a tough challenge. The workload was already high in the company’s finance department, and with one employee on sick leave and another about to take parental leave, they needed to find the right person immediately. As the person responsible for recruitment at one of the country’s largest and foremost advertising agencies, Eva was used to rapid recruitment processes, but this time, speed was of the essence.
What we did
Focus on internal employer branding
When Eva Carlheim-Müller turned to Oddwork for help with recruitment, she emphasized that this specific time it “had to be as quick as a flash.” 18 hours later, Oddwork presented the candidate Katarina, who got the job and now works at Forsman & Bodenfors.
“I met with Niklas Kekonius, one of the founders, along with Björn Lidberg, Senior Account Manager, and Elwira Garman, Talent Manager. I immediately felt that they had a different and exciting view on recruitment. They focused on the person and personality rather than just on competence. They said, ‘We want to find the right talent for you.”— Eva Carlheim-Müller, HR Manager at Forsman & Bodenfors

The recruitment could take place so quickly thanks to Oddwork’s Talent Relationship Management.
