— ABOUT ESR

We match companies with high-performers

Behind the Headhunter Academy is ESR (Executive Search Research), which since its inception in 1997 has been the premier provider of top passive candidates and an outsourcing partner to the world’s leading executive search firms and Fortune 1000 companies—such as Raytheon, Amgen, Microsoft, and Johnson & Johnson—across Scandinavia and the U.S., with over 5,000 key placements.
— COMPANY OF GOOD

Unleashing Human Potential

ESR was founded in 1997 by Christian Schoyen and joined in 1998 by Christin Tellefsen, who—with their leadership and deep industry experience from the world’s top executive search firms—built the company up into a global practice using the best-practice blueprint outlined in the U.S. bestseller "Secrets of the Executive Search", focused on strictly recruiting top passive talent—those not applying for jobs. A central part of ESR has always been to be a company of good, as stipulated in its MTP (Massive Transformative Purpose): Unleashing Human Potential Worldwide.
— KNOWLEGDE SHARING

World-class learning at scale created for our talent community

To further fulfill our MTP beyond our core service of world-class recruitment for our clients, we’ve—over the last years, due to the advancement of AI and automation—been able to create a digital AI infused ecosystem of world-class learning at scale, offering tailored classes, tools, and support to empower through upskilling and personal development our four target groups:

- ESR Clients 
- ESR Recruiters 
- ESR’s 5,000+ placed candidates
