What Talent&Partner does

Talent & Partner AB is a Stockholm-based executive search and recruitment firm founded in 2007, with 17 years of operating history and headquarters at Birger Jarlsgatan 8, Stockholm.

The firm operates a sales-led B2B model with professional consultants directly engaging hiring companies through quote-based, per-engagement pricing. The company has completed over 1,009 placements and serves clients across Sweden, the Nordics, broader Europe, and the UK. Talent & Partner has no proprietary technology platform or software product; its only product is the recruitment service itself. The firm supplements its core service with iBaren, an exclusive industry networking event the company has operated for over a decade (originally founded by Spray and MSN during the Internet era), which functions as both a marketing channel and a relationship-building asset.

The revenue model is professional services fee-based, with no disclosed revenue figures, no external funding, no parent company, and no subsidiary structure. The company is privately held and founder-owned, with no disclosed leadership team, headcount, patents, certifications, or technology partnerships. Geographic presence is anchored in Stockholm with stated operations across Nordic countries, Europe, and the UK, and the firm markets itself through its website, dedicated industry/role/market pages, an active job portal, and customer reference content.
