– when recruitment is strategic
We help you find the best top managers, specialists and board members who can be successful and generate results in your company. Both in the short and long term.
Populos specialises in attracting, motivating and retaining the best candidates for your specific challenge.
With us, you get more than just a new employee – or a new job if you are a candidate. Populos customises the right solution for the long-term benefit of both parties,
and we find just the right person that could be the key to your future success.
Populos works strategically, tactically and operationally and, over the years, has been able to establish a solid track record based on successful recruitment. At Populos, the basic attitude is that the company and candidate are equal parties in a search and selection process.
”The most suitable candidates for important key positions can be few and far between, and they can be difficult to attract. Therefore, jobs must be designed and communicated appropriately across all parameters so that you are first in line for the best candidates.”

Populos
– people who set the direction
Populos is Greek and it refers to the general direction that people choose because it is the best solution and therefore also the most popular. The heart of Populos is the work we do with people who set the direction for you and your company.
