What's the 80/20 Model?

Since we started in 2015, we've been using an 80/20 model. This means 80% of what our clients pay goes straight to the consultant. It's our way of showing respect for their skills and hard work, and everyone involved in our collaborations really appreciates it.

We really believe in transparency and openness. It's all about making sure consultants don't feel unnecessary pressure, and just as importantly, that clients aren't kept in the dark about where their fees are going.

Even today, some consultants, placed by other agencies, have no idea how much they're costing. And thanks to various confidentiality clauses or 'policies,' the client often doesn't even know what the consultant's fee is. That's just not sustainable in the long run, and it's a business ethic we absolutely don't stand for.

We truly believe that being transparent and clear in our communication with both clients and consultants pays off in the long run. By being open about our fees, both clients and consultants can feel totally secure working with Scandinavian Executive. We add value for both clients and consultants. That's why we're upfront about our 80/20 model.

Our goal is to add value for both clients and consultants by making the search and matching process quicker for everyone.

As a client, you'll get quick access to skilled interim consultants, answers within 1-3 days, no upfront costs, and transparent pricing. Plus, we never favor one consultant over another just to boost our own profit.

As a consultant, you'll get offers for assignments that perfectly match your skills, along with help presenting yourself to the client in the best possible way. We act as your sales channel when you're available for new projects and support you every step of the way during an assignment.

We don't believe in hidden costs, confidentiality clauses, or uncertainties about fees. For us, it's about building long-term relationships, not maximizing short-term gains.
