DESCRIPTION

Experienced Headhunter/KAM with interest in becoming part of our Life Science segment

THE COMPANY

Since the founding of the company in 1993, SAM has grown to become the largest headhunting company in Scandinavia and a truly international company. But SAM is much more than traditional recruitment of executive staff, specialists and board members; it is a global concept based on SAM Know How; a unique analytical research tool that adds an intelligent dimension to the principle of applicant matching in national and international recruitment.

The SAM Group is represented globally in America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle-East and Africa. From the outset, it has been the company’s objective to create a new type of Management Company, characterized by effectiveness and commitment. This has been achieved through a partnership structure and by making maximum use of new technology. Starting from this formula, we have built up an effective organization. We do not labor under a heavy organizational structure, and we are ready at any time to respond quickly to opportunities as they arise.

We have undertaken assignments for a wide range of companies globally; from small, fledgling companies with a handful of employees to major companies with a workforce of thousands. All clients are serviced by experienced partners and headhunters who posses extensive insight and established networks within their specific area of expertise.
