Board recruitment and board evaluation – boards that create real value

Agile helps owners, nomination committees, and leaders build boards that add expertise, balance, and strategic value – and evaluate their current board.

Let's talk about your needs Become a board candidate →

When it is the right choice

When is board recruitment the right choice?

when the board needs strengthening
when the business is growing or changing
when owners want new expertise
when the board needs greater commercial, financial, or operational depth

Evaluation first – then the right recruitment

Board evaluation

Board evaluation makes it easier to see what the board actually needs next – and what is missing today. It provides a clear basis for the expertise the next board member should bring.

What sets Agile apart

Norway’s largest candidate pool for board appointments
30+ years of experience
AI-supported methods
assessment of both expertise and board dynamics
a focus on real value, not just profiles

How we work

A transparent, fair, and thorough process – from assessing needs to appointing the right candidate to the board.

Needs analysis

We assess the business’s situation, strategy, and what the board is actually missing – expertise, experience, and balance.

Candidate identification

We combine Norway’s largest board candidate database with AI-supported search to find candidates who precisely match the need.

Assessment

We assess both professional expertise and how the candidate will work within the board’s dynamics – not just the profile.

Presentation

A qualified selection is presented to owners and the nomination committee, with clear reasoning for each candidate.

Follow-up

We follow up on appointments and onboarding so the new board can start creating value quickly.

Board evaluation

A board evaluation provides an objective picture of how the board actually works – and what it takes to make it work even better. The result is a clear basis for both development and recruitment.

What we assess

the board’s composition and expertise
working methods, meeting structure, and decision-making processes
the interaction between the board and management
the board’s strategic contribution and value creation

What you get

an objective assessment of the board’s actual effectiveness
clear recommendations for further development
a factual basis for owners and the nomination committee
a precise starting point for the next recruitment

What owners and boards ask about

What does a board recruitment company do?

A board recruitment company helps owners, nomination committees, and board chairs find, assess, and build boards that add real value. We take responsibility for the entire process – from assessing what the board actually needs to identifying, qualifying, and presenting the right candidates.

How do you identify potential candidates?

We combine Norway’s largest board candidate database with AI-supported search and our advisers’ networks and experience. This gives us broad reach – including candidates who are not actively seeking appointments – and a precise match for expertise, experience, and balance.

What are the benefits of using a professional board recruitment company?

You gain access to a larger, broader candidate pool than your own network, an objective and structured assessment, and a transparent process. The result is boards built around actual needs and value – not just familiar names.

How do you find the right board candidates?

We start with what the board actually needs – expertise, experience, and balance – and combine Norway’s largest candidate database with AI-supported methods and our advisers’ assessment of board dynamics.

What is the difference between a board chair and a board member?

The board chair leads the board’s work, sets the agenda, and often works more closely with management. Board members contribute expertise, oversight, and strategic insight. Both roles require the right match for the business’s situation.

When should we carry out a board evaluation?

Ideally annually, and especially before recruiting new members or when there are significant changes in strategy, ownership, or the market.

What does board recruitment cost?

It depends on scope and complexity. We agree on a clear fee structure before starting, so costs are predictable for owners and the nomination committee.

Can you help with diversity and balance?

Yes. Through initiatives including Styrekvinnen, we actively raise the profile of qualified candidates and build boards with a genuine balance of expertise and gender.

How do I register as a candidate?

You register a profile with us and are then considered for relevant board appointments as they arise.
