Our work process

An overall needs analysis is carried out at the first contact. Thanks to our long experience and experienced executive recruiters, we can quickly understand the needs and advise on any questions or concerns.

Based on the needs analysis, we create, preferably together with the customer in real time, a requirements profile that defines requirements for skills and experience. The requirements profile then forms the basis for the continued process through dialogue with candidates, candidate presentations, reference taking and follow-up during the interim assignment.

Interim recruitment has to be fast. The secret is to have a large network of candidates with up-to-date information on their skills and availability. We have that at Brightmill. To find the best candidates, we always rely on our own network of carefully selected candidates across Sweden, Denmark and Germany. We work quickly and efficiently thanks to our proprietary system support that makes us spot-on and time-efficient.

In order to make the selection process as efficient as possible, we use our digital profile tool to compare candidates' competences with the requirements profile. This allows us to ensure the objectivity of the selection and that the candidates contacted have a relevant profile.

At Brightmill, we work exclusively with competence-based recruitment. The responsible executive recruiter interviews the candidates and prepares a clear candidate profile to complement the candidate's CV. Brightmill presents the most interesting candidates to the client.

The client interviews selected candidates and selects their final candidate.

Background checks are carried out on all candidates we present. Reference checks are carried out by Brightmill on the final candidate. It is also based on the requirements profile and supplemented by a series of generic questions that are compiled in writing in an easy-to-understand format.

Contracts are signed digitally with the client and then with the consultant. Brightmill also provides assistance with start-up and onboarding.
