HUNTING/HER HR-Partners:
Leading women’s headhunter expands to Stockholm
Stockholm / Düsseldorf, 15 March 2024 – Europe’s leading women’s headhunting company continues to grow. With the opening of a new office in Stockholm the company aims to better meet the growing demand for top female executives in Sweden. With Patricia Schaller, a former manager at Deutsche Bahn, the German-Swiss executive search firm is expanding its range of services northwards. „Even if the Scandinavian countries in general and Sweden in particular are often rightly cited as role models when it comes to gender equality, the road to truly equal participation of women is far from over here, too,“ says Schaller.
While there is almost parity in the management of Sweden’s main public authorities and state-owned companies, the situation in the private sector is very different. In 2023, for example, only 12% of all CEOs of listed Swedish companies were women. „In my opinion, it is precisely the targeted search for female executives that HUNTING/HER offers that is needed, also to counter the objection often heard, not only in Sweden, that there is a lack of suitable female candidates,“ says the diversity expert, explaining her next career step as a partner at HUNTING/HER HR-Partners.

„This further expansion underlines our commitment to supporting companies of all sectors and sizes in recruiting the best women for top management positions and thus actively contributing to diversity in the world of work,“ says Regina Lindner, Managing Partner of HUNTING/HER HR-Partners in Düsseldorf. „We are particularly pleased to have gained such a proven expert as Patricia Schaller, who was recently honoured as one of the „Top 100 Women for Diversity“ and has already appeared several times on the list of „Germany’s Top 100 Out Executives“.
Since its foundation in 2007, HUNTING/HER has established itself as a pioneer in the field of diversity recruiting and is valued by international corporate clients as the go-to headhunting partner for achieving diversity goals at all management levels. „With our latest office in Stockholm, we are strengthening our presence in Europe and expanding our capacity to match even more companies with highly qualified women,“ says the headhunter. „We are convinced that our unique women-specific approach will be as successful in Sweden and the Nordic market as it has been in Germany and our Swiss office in Zurich.
