At SelectionF we are passionate about growing the base of highly qualified female board candidates in the Nordic region. SelectionF builds bridges between female candidates and the modern boards. SelectionF is a non-profit initiative.
SelectionF mediates the contact between competent and experienced businesswomen with companies, who wish to move with the times. We help boards make the active choice. We operate across the entirety of the Nordics (Denmark, Norway and Sweden) and represent over 500 candidates, all of which are personally screened, interviewed and validated, based on competencies and experience.
The demand for female board candidates has increased exponentially and our demand for candidates are constantly growing. We have placed candidates in companies such as RICE A/S, Nordic Wood Industries and Spectre A/S
We maintain a strong focus on a value-creating board. Based on your own strategic ambition, we offer a professional and structured process to find and identify your next board candidate. SelectionF offers matchmaking, and we can also support initial board clarification, if desired.
