Recruitment specialist Poolia has launched Poolia Executive Search AB in Sweden.

The new Stockholm-based business opened on 1 January and aims to strengthen Poolia’s customer offering in recruiting senior managers.

Maria Eriksson has been appointed managing director of Poolia Executive Search. Three search consultants — Lennart Cagnell, Rickard Thorgren and Ola Nilsson, formerly of Horton International — have been made partners in the company.

Monika Elling, chief executive Poolia AB, says: “With an increased investment in executive search, Poolia will be in a better position to meet our customers’ needs within the organisation and management, whether it be for senior management recruitment, temporary staffing or career coaching.”
