Lagotto

What Lagotto does

Lagotto Executive Search & Interim was a Sweden-based recruitment and executive search firm specializing in permanent placement, executive search, consultant placement, and interim management within the finance, banking, insurance, and IT verticals. The firm operated from Stockholm with additional offices in Gothenburg and Örnsköldsvik, employing 11-50 staff, and claimed Sweden's largest consultant network within its niche along with two decades of specialist experience dating to 2001. Its go-to-market was consultative, direct, sales-led enterprise engagement with quote-based pricing tied to role complexity, seniority, and engagement duration.

The company monetized through professional services fees on permanent placements, consultant assignments (short- and long-term), and interim management engagements. Named customers included coeo Inkasso, Sambla Group, Bjorn Lunden, and Swedfund. Marketing leveraged content (blog, newsletter) and direct B2B outreach, with a dedicated candidate-facing job portal (jobb.amendo.se) on the supply side. There is no proprietary technology platform disclosed beyond standard recruitment workflow; the underlying "technology" is sector-specialized talent matching and network curation.

Lagotto has been acquired by Amendo and merged with Amendo Tech to form Amendo Konsult & Rekrytering, consolidating all expertise, knowledge, and experience under a single Swedish brand. Within the combined entity, Lagotto now functions as a sub-brand contributing executive search and interim management capability, with the same service offerings continuing under the Amendo umbrella.
