Mercuri Urval Names 18 Partners

January 9, 2019 – Mercuri Urval, a global Swedish executive search, professional recruitment and talent advisory organization founded in 1967, has appointed 18 partners. The newly appointed equity partners represent eight nationalities from Mercuri Urval’s global organization.

In 2016, the founder and owner donated the search firm to a foundation, Stiftelsen Mercuri Urval, in order to ensure a longstanding, secure development of the firm. A major step in Mercuri Urval’s evolution occurred last year as the company’s first employees were invited to the partnership program.

“Becoming a partner is an opportunity to help shape Mercuri Urval’s future as well as benefit from dividends,” said Roger Hagafors, chairman of the group board. “Being a partner is a serious undertaking but also a huge opportunity for current and future employees.”

Mercuri Urval’s partners become co-owners of a global organization. Partnership is equally available to employees from Europe, Asia or the Americas based on openly communicated criteria.
