INDIVIDUALS

What INDIVIDUALS does

INDIVIDUALS is a people consultancy founded in 2016 and headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark. The firm delivers talent assessment, individual and team reviews, one-to-one career sessions, mentor programs, talks and workshops, and in-house HR services to a mix of large enterprises, SMEs, and individual senior professionals. Its client roster spans Maersk, IBM, Novo Nordisk, PensionDanmark, GroupM, Signifly, VICE Media, Egmont Publishing, Magnusson, Templafy, MENU A/S, Rockstart, and Erhvervshus Hovedstaden, across verticals including shipping, pharma, advertising and media, technology, legal, public-sector business support, and publishing.

The firm's core offering is built around two proprietary consulting frameworks, the "Talent Ecosystem Model" and "Behavioral Profiling," which structure its assessments and development sessions. Delivery is human-led through structured sessions of typically 1-2 hours, with corporate clients on average consuming 4-8 sessions per year. There is no public pricing; engagements are sold on a project or retainer basis at quote-based rates, and the firm has secured several multi-year enterprise contracts, including an in-house talent team role at GroupM, a Maersk program, and an IBM Elite Student Program engagement.

INDIVIDUALS operates a Copenhagen HQ with a Shanghai subsidiary established in 2019 and maintains career-session presence in London, New York, Shanghai, and Singapore, giving it a cross-border footprint spanning Europe, China, the US, and Southeast Asia. The team is small, with approximately seven named consultants and partners visible across the firm's materials, and there is no public indication of external funding or AI-driven tooling - the competitive position rests on senior practitioner experience, proprietary frameworks, and multi-year client relationships rather than on technology scale.

• Korn Ferry: Global organizational consulting firm with deep talent assessment, leadership development, and executive search practices — competes head-on with INDIVIDUALS for the same enterprise clients (Maersk, Novo Nordisk, IBM) but at vastly greater scale and as a publicly listed incumbent.
