"In my capacity as Senior Director at VELUX, I have had the pleasure of working with Torben in connection with various recruitment tasks.
Torben always appears super professional and his approach is imbued with integrity and orderliness. For me, Torben has not only been a practical support, but to a large extent, with his direct style and "to the point" manner, has also functioned as a highly qualified sparring partner. In my view, Torben has a fine balance between the theoretical and practical approach and always manages to strike the right mix between the more process-oriented and the pragmatic.
With Torben as a recruitment partner, you not only get a step-by-step process from A to B, but an equal "partner" who gives his honest opinion in a proper and respectful way and manages to "tailor" the individual process so that it is adapted to the given situation.
The best recommendations from here."
Morten Jensen, Senior Director, Supply Engineering & Product Introduction, Velux

"Professional approach and thorough preparation. Good research on profiles, candidates, and relevant market references, including insights on market levels for both salary and competencies/profiles.The strongest part of the approach was the way I was challenged regarding the match and potential biases. It ultimately led to the insight that "if you are in doubt, it's better to walk away" — do not become a hostage to your own decision."

"I have been very impressed with the collaboration with Torben!
I have used his professionalism and skills for job ads, candidate screening, profile test expert, job interviews and with sparring on onboarding processes.
At a time when project managers have been in high demand, and few qualified ones have become unemployed, Torben helped me with authentic job postings that attracted a strong pool of candidates from far and wide.
Torben has a fundamental set of values that match mine and VELUX's, which we were able to use during the job interviews to create an atmosphere that exuded a good workplace, which in a specific situation was the deciding factor for employment.
