Jon, a warm welcome to us, but why Based on People?
There is an enormous amount of capital with accumulated expertise at Based on People, and I see it as a privilege to be able to take part in this and also contribute with my experiences and my competence. But above all, I am attracted by the culture and values that guide Based on People, and after meeting all the colleagues during the recruitment process, this felt genuine and credible. I am convinced that people are stronger together, and for Based on People, this is - and has been - a success factor.
How do you think the recruitment industry will develop in the future?
Everyone has more or less been forced to adopt digital ways of working in their recruitment processes to a greater extent, which creates efficiency and is good for the environment. In my opinion, however, this places even greater demands on successfully creating trust and confidence in the candidate market; a focus on relationships and qualitative recruitment processes becomes crucial to attracting the right competence. The pandemic has also meant new ways of working, where remote work to some extent will probably be seen as a matter of course from the employee's perspective.
What didn't we know about you privately?
Like many others, I am interested in sustainability and alternative ways of living. I have my own bees, brew my own beer, and nurture a dream of cultivating to a greater extent in order to become more self-sufficient. However, I am in the middle of life with two small children at home and an ongoing house renovation, so time is not quite enough. Looking forward to an exciting autumn at Based on People!
