In 2022, HiCareer assisted Konstrukt, a company specializing in planning solutions, in finding a multifaceted solution architect. This new hire was essential for Konstrukt as they transitioned into offering ready-made templates for smaller companies, aiming to provide a quick start and cost-effective alternative to traditional methods like Excel.
What made the choice easy between HiCareer and other recruiters was the fast and seamless startup of the project. HiCareer understood us and our business, as well as the role and the type of person who would fit it.
Since 2015, Konstrukt has been developing a product for planning. Over these years, Konstrukt has created various customized solutions for budgeting, forecasting, and other operational planning for a wide range of clients, from Polestar and Espresso House to Värmdö municipality, Cygate, and Prevas. These are great clients, but onboarding and configuration take a long time, making it difficult to manage and scale.
A New Phase for Konstrukt
Now, Konstrukt is entering the next phase, where they are developing ready-made templates in the product for various planning purposes integrated with business systems, currently PE Accounting and Fortnox. The idea is to reach smaller companies and offer them a quick start and a cost-effective alternative to the current situation, usually Excel.
In this journey, Konstrukt realized they needed a solution architect who could fulfill a multifaceted role—handling internal responsibilities while also serving as an external representative working with clients. The founders of Konstrukt, Anders Bergek and Johan Larsson, recognized this challenge and decided to contact HiCareer, whom Johan had met through networks.
“What made the choice easy between HiCareer and other recruiters was the fast and seamless startup of the project. HiCareer understood us and our business, as well as the role and the type of person who would fit it.“
A Tough and Exciting Role to Fill
HiCareer’s market search yielded several suitable candidates, whom Johan Larsson and HiCareer interviewed and evaluated. A candidate was hired, and six months after the hiring, Larsson expressed his satisfaction with the outcome.
“This was a tough (and exciting) role to fill, and Konstrukt is an incredibly cool client with a culture and product vision worth recommending! We needed someone who could handle a client-facing role immediately while also growing into new responsibilities as the company grows. The ideal candidate also had to be technically sharp and eager to learn constantly. When I found John, I knew he was a really nice fit as his skills, way of reasoning, and ambitions aligned perfectly,” says Fredrik Johansson, founder of HiCareer.
The solution architect that was hired, John Lindblad, has now been at Konstrukt for a bit over a year, and it’s going great.
How’s It Going?
“HiCareer really focused on the match, ensuring it was a company that would suit me as much as I would suit them. They showed much more interest in what I wanted and was looking for in a job than other recruiters,” says John.
“HiCareer stands out for their extensive network, deep engagement in every hiring process, and understanding of our business. They delivered exactly the talent we were seeking, and I would recommend them to anyone,” says Johan.
