Recruitment strengthened by insight into people and organization
Esbees is known for professional headhunting and recruitment of leaders, specialists, and key profiles in Denmark and internationally.
For Esbees, successful recruitment is not just about finding a candidate with the right experience - it’s about creating a match that works in practice: professionally, personally, and organizationally.
This approach aligns naturally with IPA Nordic, which supports Esbees with assessments used across recruitment, HR, and consulting services.
The Challenge
Traditional recruitment often focuses heavily on experience and qualifications—but this alone is not enough to ensure a successful hire.
Esbees needed a more precise and structured way to:
Understand the person behind the CV
Assess motivation and long-term fit
Evaluate how candidates will impact collaboration and leadership
Create stronger alignment between candidate and organization
The Solution
Esbees integrates IPA Nordic’s tools as a core part of their recruitment and advisory process:
IPA Core Personality
IPA Core Meta
Leadership Mindset
These tools provide a shared language for understanding behavior, motivation, and leadership approach—enabling deeper, more structured dialogue with both candidates and clients.
“Recruitment becomes truly strong when we understand the whole person behind the CV. These tools give us a completely different level of quality in our recommendations.”
Søren Bøge Sørensen
Recruitment with Deeper Insight
With IPA Nordic’s assessments, Esbees goes beyond evaluating whether a candidate can do the job.
They gain insight into:
How the candidate creates value in the role
What drives motivation and energy
How the person is likely to influence collaboration and leadership
This results in:
More nuanced candidate evaluations
Better candidate conversations
Clearer expectation alignment with clients
“With PeopleSuite, we gain a qualified language for behavior, motivation, and leadership. It allows us to go deeper and stand stronger in the quality of our recruitment process.”
Søren Bøge Sørensen
Better Match for Client and Candidate
The goal is not just to fill a role - but to create a match that lasts.
The assessments provide a clearer picture of both:
The individual
The organizational context they will operate in
This strengthens:
Dialogue between candidate and client
Alignment of expectations around culture, collaboration, and leadership
Long-term success of the hire
For clients, this means more confident decisions.
For candidates, it means a process where their strengths, motivations, and working style are clearly understood.
HR & Consulting with Greater Depth
The same insights are applied beyond recruitment in Esbees’ HR and consulting services.
“Many companies don’t just need help hiring—they need support in making people succeed afterward.”
