Since 1985, Michaël Berglund has helped Swedish companies and organizations to recruit and develop their leaders. Today, we’re proud to say that we are leaders in this area. As an executive recruitment company, we see it as our responsibility to recruit and develop great leaders who help make a better tomorrow, in both the business sector and the wider society.
We recruit and develop role models
A great leader creates secure, more engaged employees who find their jobs more meaningful.
Our history
Our founder, Michaël Berglund, began his career as a doctor. In his profession, he had seen firsthand how poor management could have devastating consequences. In hospitals, weak leadership can literally become a matter of life or death. But in business, too, the actions of leaders in their professional role have huge ripple effects.
A great leader creates secure, more engaged employees who find their jobs more meaningful. Their job satisfaction will spread to the people they meet in their daily lives. The logic is simple.
The certainty that our work has a higher purpose – to actually make the world a bit better – is what drives us at Michaël Berglund to do our best, every day and in every assignment, to find the optimal solution. No matter whether a company is small and local or a multinational, our mission is clear.
We believe that identifying, appointing and training people who end up in leadership positions provides a vital service to society, both to clients and to their employees. When we get it right, it’s right for so many others.
This insight is what has helped Michaël Berglund to evolve into a leading recruitment company in executive recruitment, management development, and board development.
