From the first point of contact, this experience was different compared to all the (generic) LinkedIn messages, I receive multiple times a week. It was straightforward, no hidden references or vague job descriptions. Our first dialogue quickly turned out to be very human and personal. I felt that the focus was on me and my needs from the start. Martin demonstrated a clear understanding of what I was looking for. Going for my first interview with the company I was scouted for, I felt well-prepared thanks to the team at FACTOR 7, as they had an exceptional understanding of not only the people and culture there, but also the technology and the company’s needs. It was also positive that Martin personally followed up a couple of months into my employment, to make sure everything was going well. Since then, I have recommended FACTOR 7 to colleagues (candidates) and managers (clients) and would gladly do so again.

When I was initially contacted by FACTOR 7, it was about a job which was not really interesting for me. FACTOR 7 had the ability to sense my signals and the conversation quickly shifted to what I would like to work with. Our subsequent talks were super pleasant, and I got a feeling of being a valued, skilled person, which was sought-after. After a few iterations, they found the perfect match. The first meeting with the company was very informal and relaxed. The supportive and personal approach made me feel secure throughout the process. This was essential for me - especially because I had been with the same company for 22 years. I was also very happy about the support & feedback I got in relation to the intelligence and personality test. After I started my new job, they contacted me to hear how I was doing. That was really nice and secure. I have told many in my network about my positive experiences with the FACTOR 7 team and I would recommend them at any time.

The FACTOR 7 team did a fantastic job for us! The words that come to mind when I think of them is “an unparalleled deep professional insight”. I was very impressed by the way in which they asked me thoughtful questions and really listened to my answers, which allowed them to gain a solid understanding of our industry and business as a whole, including our company values and culture. The profile description and job add that were drafted after our initial meetings were spot on, and perhaps even better than I could have made them myself. I’m sure this knowledge and insight were critical in helping to identify and evaluating candidates who not only possessed the necessary skills and experience, but also aligned with our company values. Another thing that sets FACTOR 7 apart is their ability to establish a relation – a real partnership - based on mutual trust and a commitment to working together towards a common goal. In a busy work day you may – as a client – sometimes loose the sense of urgency in a recruitment process. Martin and his team were great at keeping me to my feet during the process in a firm but loving way 😊 I would highly recommend FACTOR 7 to any organization seeking a recruiting partner who can create good relations and deliver excellent results.

I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with Martin and FACTOR 7 on several recruiting assignments. The process, dialogue and sparring were outstanding from the initial pitch and FACTOR 7 was fast to understand and challenge our needs a good way – and found excellent candidates. What really stands out about FACTOR 7 is their ability to facilitate an equal dialogue between the candidate and the client, which I believe is driven by their mantra: “It’s not only the client who chooses the candidate, but also the candidate who chooses the client”. Hence, the initial chemistry meetings with potential candidates were at eye level and Martin and his team excelled in keeping focus on the human behind, including the personality and the potential “perfect match”, whilst still keeping the professional requirements in mind as well. Their ability to identify and attract the right candidates even resulted in us making a job offer to a candidate, despite this particular job was not even advertised. We simply wouldn’t miss out on bringing this candidate to our team. FACTOR 7 knew exactly how to identify, understand, and act on behalf of me as a client and this – in combination with their human touch and relaxed approach – makes them the ideal recruiting partner. I would recommend working with FACTOR 7 at any time.
