Roles we recruit for

We can supply managers and specialist professionals in areas such as finance and accounting, finance, HR, IT, logistics, administration and project management. Through close follow-up and long-term relationships, we make sure to match the right expertise with our clients' needs, so that value creation starts from day one.

We at Ascender believe in the value of adding the right expertise when the situation demands it. Our consultants can provide peace of mind, progress and results in projects, transition phases or situations that require additional capacity.

Senior Managers (CxO)

A CxOrole includes senior management positions such as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Chief Executive Officer (CEO), and Chief Operating Officer (COO).

We deliver experienced managers who can quickly step into demanding senior management roles. Whether the need relates to management through a transformation phase, strengthening the organization or handling specific projects, we find candidates with solid leadership experience who deliver results from day one.

Financial Management

We are in constant contact with skilled financial managers who can handle both day-to-day operations and long-term strategy. With experience from various industries and organizations, they can quickly familiarize themselves with the needs of the business.

Controllers

We match businesses with Controllers who have strong analytical capabilities and good business understanding. Whether you need a Financial Controller, Business Controller or Group Controller, we will find the candidate that suits you best.

Accounting and payroll

We offer accounting and payroll expertise that ensures correct bookkeeping, reporting and compliance with applicable rules. Candidates we find can handle all or part of the process — from document keeping to annual settlement — with high precision and quality.

HR & Administration

We provide HR specialists and administrative resources that can quickly step into the role and contribute to efficient operations. With experience from both small and large organizations, consultants can quickly adapt, support management and ensure good processes for employees.

Recruitment

Our process

Our interim process ensures quick access to qualified candidates when the need arises. We continuously survey new candidates to have an up-to-date picture of available expertise. When a customer makes contact, we search our database for relevant candidates and present a carefully selected list within a couple of days. The customer meets the candidates they want, either via Teams or in physical interviews, often in one to two rounds. Once a candidate is selected, we conduct a reference and any background check, before handling the offer process between customer and candidate. The process from request to start-up varies, but we find that it can be from one to four weeks. We follow up both customer and candidate after start-up to ensure a successful cooperation.
