At Recommended by we want to grow our competence and offer by adding an external board to the organization. 

Our vision is to make every organization recommended by their people. We help clients strengthen their employer brand, accelerate recruitment, automate and streamline processes, coach leaders and more, in order for the clients to grow and change in a sustainable way.

Recommended by provides People and Culture expertise and lead clients through sustainable growth and change. We are strong believers in creating value with a combination of operational support and strategic solutions customized to create adaptive and values-driven organizations.

This is Recommended bys own values:

We are brave: We dare to do things we’ve never done before, like trying new ways of working and creating new products for our clients. And we always work to push our clients to be braver and wiser.

We are humble: We know that we do not know it all. We continuously reflect to make sure we always learn from what we did yesterday.

We are wise: Creating actual change takes actual knowledge and skills. We use the strengths and skills we must make wise decisions and make as much positive impact as possible.

We are inspiring: We want the whole world to look at us and say “WOW! I'd never thought of it like that!” when we present our bossless Teal organization, with transparent salaries.

No need for previous experience – only to match our values

Recommended by currently consists of around 15 employees, including our two co-founders Tove Oldebäck and Mattias Jansson (working as CEO and COO).

“We’re on a fast, but controlled, growth journey and are ready to take it to the next level. Therefore, we are looking for additional support and strategic sparring partners for our journey ahead. We decided that we need a board, to add a new perspective and challenge us. The main task for the board is giving input or new ideas on Recommended bys product, investments and our general direction the coming 1-5 years.

Since we are a values-driven company, and strongly believe that being genuine and authentic wins over money, status and brag, we are looking for board members that matches our values, one person to represent each value: Brave, Wise, Humble and Inspiring. “ Says CEO, Tove Oldebäck.

Invested time will be 1/2 a day per quarter where you share you knowledge and ideas with us. 

These are the four requirement profiles they have created:

BRAVE

You are brave when it comes to being outside of the comfort zone and you are brave to stand up for what you believe in. You dare to do things no one else have done before. You dare to take risks and you are not afraid to fail. You might be an investor, a co-founder for a tech start-up CEO or something else you are ready to share with us.

WISE

As our WISE-person you bring knowledge to the table. You value data informed decisions and you might be known as “the one who never takes a rush decision” - because you have done your homework and know what questions to ask before we make a big decision about our growth. Your knowledge and experience might come from business development or company growth within tech-industry, or something else that can be useful for us.

HUMBLE

Being humble is a very important skill for a leader. Understanding that every person has their own journey and not everyone shares your opinions – you need to truly believe that we get better when we combine different opinions and experiences and really listens to each other and our clients. Perhaps you are an experienced leader, a mental coach or been taught to be humble the hard way?

INSPIRING

Our inspiring-person is fearless, creative and love innovation. You don’t follow structures, maybe you’ve always felt different or that you didn’t fit in any label?

Someone who is everything they truly believe in and understands that different is great. Just because no one has done it before, doesn’t mean it is a bad idea – right!?! This is the kind of inspiration we need.

Diversity is what really makes a company reach beyond what can be imagined

Tove Oldebäck continues:

“We’re an awesome team with lots of competence within People & Culture so now we’re looking for something completely different. For us, diversity is not only important in theory, but as important in what we do. We know that diversity is what really makes a company reach beyond what can be imagined. We are looking for four different people with different competencies and backgrounds to add many new perspectives and help us think beyond what we thought was possible . Don’t you have any previous experience or knowledge about working in a board or running a company? That’s great as we’re not looking for best practices of how things “should be”.

Because that’s not us, we are Recommended By!”
