Erik Falk Hansen — a founder himself will take full responsibility for every client relationship, every candidate, and every step of the hiring process. Over the past six years at Rede (previously AvantGarde Search), have had the privilege of supporting more than 100 tech scale-ups and start-ups with leadership and specialist hires — and we’re incredibly excited about what lies ahead.

Rede and our differentiators

• Niche, focused and specialist - Recruit for senior leadership positions, middle-management positions and niche technical and commercial positions, with 100% focus on technology start-ups and scale-ups.

• Growing network – A network is only valuable when it keeps evolving. I make a point of expanding mine every day, connecting with new leaders and talent across industries and boarders. This ensures I’m never limited to the same pool of candidates, but always able to present fresh, exceptional profiles.

• Trusted by Leaders - Many of the leaders I work with reach out to me directly — often on the recommendation of others they trust.

• Open calendar / booking - I set aside 15 hours per week for leaders in jobs whom could be interested in a move being able to book me inn for a chat.

• Inspiring prospect: Every search deserves more than a job description. I create tailormade prospects that provide genuine insight into the company, its people, and the opportunity ahead. These materials are crafted to a high standard — both in content and design — with one clear goal: to inspire talent to want to become part of my clients journey.

• Time and efficiency: Hires don`t need to take 6 months. My aim is to close a hire within 6-8 weeks from kick-off.

• High engagement from cold candidates / new candidates: My network gives me the opportunity to reference mutual connections with cold candidates that creates immediate trust.

• A process designed for access: I don’t follow the conventional, step-by-step search processes that often restrict access to great talent. My approach is flexible and insight-driven, built to engage the right leaders — even those who aren’t actively looking.

• Modern tools - I always look for the new and the best. Right now we can offer our clients the experience from systems such as Teamtailor, Vouch, AlvaLabs, RefApp and Trale.AI Supercompany.

• One person, full process: I handle every assignment personally — there are no junior researchers or coordinators in between. From defining the role to securing the final candidate, I’m involved at every step, providing a seamless experience and genuine partnership with the client.
