Who we are

Recruitment is a judgement business. We keep ours sharp by staying narrow.

OG Recruitment does one thing: technology hiring. No generalist desks, no adjacent verticals. Every search is run by a consultant who has spent years in the market they recruit for — and can hold a real conversation about the work, not just the job title.

That focus is why ambitious companies trust us with the hires that are hardest to get wrong: founding engineers, platform leads, heads of data, security owners. And it is why strong candidates take our calls — we bring them roles worth moving for, not a mailing list.

We operate where our clients do: across the Nordic capitals of Copenhagen, Stockholm and Helsinki, and in Australia — giving Nordic companies reach into one of the world's deepest tech talent pools, and Australian teams a direct line into Northern Europe.

Specialisms

Where we hire

Six practice areas, each led by consultants who recruit nothing else. From senior individual contributors to the leaders they report to.

Software Engineering

Backend, frontend, mobile and platform engineers who ship — and the engineering managers who build teams around them.

Senior IC → Head of Engineering

Data & AI

Data engineers, ML engineers and analytics leaders for companies putting models and pipelines into production, not slide decks.

Data Engineer → Head of Data

Cloud & Infrastructure

SRE, DevOps and platform specialists who keep systems fast, observable and boring — in the best sense of the word.

SRE → Platform Lead

Cybersecurity

Security engineers, GRC specialists and CISOs, hired discreetly for organisations where the stakes are highest.

Security Engineer → CISO

Product & Digital

Product managers, designers and delivery leads who turn engineering capacity into things customers actually want.

Product Manager → CPO

ERP & Business Systems

SAP, Dynamics and NetSuite specialists for the systems that quietly run the business — and the transformations that modernise them.

Consultant → Programme Lead

Why OG

What working with us actually looks like

01Depth over volume

You will never receive thirty CVs from us. You will receive three to five people who have been interviewed, technically referenced and briefed — each one worth an hour of your time.

02Consultants who speak the language

Our people can discuss event-driven architecture, model drift or a zero-trust rollout without changing the subject. Candidates notice. So do hiring managers.

03Speed with discipline

A structured search process gets you a qualified shortlist in a median of six working days — because the mapping work starts before the kickoff call ends.

04Candidates treated like clients

Honest briefs, real feedback, no ghosting. It is why 92% of our offers are accepted first time — and why placed candidates come back to us to hire.

What clients say

Trusted with the hires that matter

We had spent four months trying to hire a platform lead. OG brought us four people in a week, and two of them were strong enough that we changed our org plan to keep both.

Mette Kirkegaard

VP Engineering, fintech scale-up — Copenhagen

The first conversation felt like talking to another engineer, not a recruiter. They understood exactly why our data platform role was hard to fill — and then they filled it.

Antti Laine

Head of Data, industrial tech — Helsinki

As a candidate, I was briefed better than in some final-round interviews. When the offer came, there were no surprises on either side. That is rarer than it should be.

Sarah Nguyen

Staff Engineer, placed in Sydney
