AMBIZZION

What AMBIZZION does

AMBIZZION ApS is a privately held Danish executive search and headhunting firm that identifies and recruits managers, specialists, and board members for Danish companies. The company is structured as an ApS (Danish private limited company) founded and operated by three Direktør/Partners — Leo Brosbøl Sørensen, Peder Vester Henriksen, and Lars Bøgelund — with a small bench of senior partners, recruiters, marketing, and administration staff totaling 8–9 full-time equivalents. Operations span three offices in Denmark: Tommerup (headquarters in Tommerup Erhvervspark), Aarhus (Workspace Haslegaarden), and Copenhagen (Matrikel1 at Højbro Plads), reflecting a deliberate concentration in the Funen–Jutland corridor plus Greater Copenhagen.

The firm's core product is a proactive search service that approaches passive candidates not actively job-seeking, with an engagement model tailored per assignment (selection, search, executive search, or headhunting). Candidate evaluation is differentiated by team-wide certifications in established psychometric tools — IPA Nordic, Thomas International DISC, MBTI, BELBIN, Master Danmark (MPA, ACE), and Discover — and the firm offers a 3-month 100% placement guarantee (refilling the role without fee if either party terminates). Beyond core recruitment, AMBIZZION offers organizational and competence development, outplacement, and career counseling, supported by a CV-bank candidate database with 24-month retention. Underlying technology is limited to standard productivity and IT infrastructure (Microsoft 365, nCASE-managed systems, HolyCow Media web hosting) — there is no proprietary platform, AI tooling, or automated matching product.

AMBIZZION generates revenue on a professional services, success-fee basis with quote-based engagements and multi-year client relationships. Named enterprise customers include Dan-Foam ApS (Tempur Sealy International, with 3–6 placements annually), Renz A/S, Roll-o-Matic A/S, JORTON A/S, Dansk Installations Teknik A/S, ERP Denmark, and SMB clients Inwave and Brink Transport, spanning manufacturing, engineering, construction, lighting, logistics, and electronics. The firm is GDPR-compliant under EU Regulation 2016/679 and the Danish Data Protection Act, with Peder Vester Henriksen serving as Data Protection Officer. No external funding, M&A activity, or subsidiaries are present in the disclosed record.
