Executive Search |	Selection
Dear	Client,
We	live	in	one	of	the	most	interesting	and	challenging	decades	within	recruiting.	
Many	companies	have	trouble	finding	the	right	co-workers	and	we	have	reached	a	point	
where	candidates	can	pick	and	choose	in	possibilities.	Young	talents	are	“bought”	from	the	
beginning	of	their	higher	education,	which	is	a	situation	we	have	to	live	with	the	coming	
years.	This	is	a	result	of	Baby	Boomers	retiring	and	Generation	X	and	Y	consisting	of	fewer	
people	to	fill	their	shoes	in	the	workforce.	
Talent	Gallery	– Scandinavian	Search	Group	develop	our	business	according	to	the	needs	in	
the	market:
A	recent	comprehensive	client	survey	in	Norway	revealed	the	following	feedback	to	
consultants:
• Understand	the	industry
• Listen
• Give	us	new	ideas
• Be	honest
Talent	Gallery	– Scandinavian	Search	Group	already	have	these	four	elements	on	our	
agendy and	we	will	continue	developing	through:
• Industry	focus	– across	country	borders
• Process	focus	– to	tell	is	not	to	sell
• Innovation	– and	knowledge	sharing
• Honesty	– one	of	our	core	values
We	hope	that	you	experience	a	different	company	in	this	presentation.	We	wish	that	you,	
as	a	potential	or	existing	client,	will	understand	how	we	work	– and	how	we	expect	that	
our	advisors	should	work.

FIVE	GENERATIONS	IN	THE	WORK	FORCE
We	have	all	heard	that,	according	to	public	statistics,	it	will	be	more	positions	than	
people	in	the	nearest	future.	The	estimates	vary,	but	the	experts	agree	that	it	will	be	
between	3	and	10	millions	of	work	places	than	people	within	2020.	These	are	scary	
statistics,	and	we	experience	today	that	we	are	facing	shortages	within	certain	
disciplines.	If	you	have	used	one	day	of	recruiting	in	the	health	care	sector	or	IT,	you	
know	what	we	talk	about.	
The	consequence	of	this	will	be:
1.		The	time	you	spend	on	filling	critical	positions	will	increase	from	1	month	to	
6	months,	a	year	or	more.	
2.	The	companies	will	lower	their	candidate	standards	to	get	the	positions	
filled.
3.	The	salary	levels	rise.	What	is	high	income	today,	will	for	certain	disciplines	
be	medium	level	the	coming	years.

THE	CANDIDATES
The	candidates have	their own way of analysing the job market.	In	today’s online	
centered society,	it	is	important for	businesses/instutions to	have	a	conscious
relationship to	the web	based world we live	in.	
It	is	worth noticing the following:
• 84%	of the candidates will look at	the company’s website prior	to	an	interview
• 54%	of the candidates will look at	the company through social and	professional
networks
• 53%	of the candidates will check news about the company online
The	best	candidates will always do	thorough research of a	future employer early on
in	the process.
It	also worth mentioning that:
• 54%	of the candidates use social and	professional networks to	look for	new jobs
• 83%	of the recruitment advisors search candidates based on online	profiles
FOOD	FOR	THOUGHT
To	get a	job offer	includes two factors:	
It	can	be	easy	to
focus	on	the	
”get	the	job”	
characteristics
and	forget	about	the	
”do	the	job”	characteristics
Doing the job:
• Drive
• Team	skills
• Ability	to	reach goals
• Technical	skills
• Leadership skills
• Ability	to	plan
• Intelligence
Getting the job:
• Personality
• First	impression
• Handshake
• Social safety
• Performance
• Extroversion
