Axcess Nordic Rethinks Recruitment with Case-Based Hiring

Axcess Nordic has chosen to rethink its approach to recruitment by partnering with Improve Business Academy. Rather than focusing on traditional CVs and certifications, they emphasized candidates’ motivation and ability to solve real-world tasks. This collaboration has led to a successful job placement and a valuable new hire.

Recruitment based on motivation and real cases

In collaboration with Improve Business Academy, the recruitment process was turned on its head. Axcess Nordic presented a specific case, and it was up to the academy to identify a candidate motivated to solve the challenge. This approach to job searching prioritized the candidate’s engagement and drive over traditional qualifications.

“Anticipation was building. We had laid our cards on the table and were eager to see if we would attract the right candidate.”

Mickey Melskens, Senior Project Manager

Job search with a focus on practical experience

Candidate Mads took part in an 8-week program at Improve Business Academy, where he worked on a real-life case provided by Axcess Nordic. His systematic approach and strong motivation led to tangible progress in the project.

“We’ve seen real, noticeable, and significant momentum on the project,” says Mickey enthusiastically.
This form of recruitment, where candidates get the opportunity to demonstrate their skills in practice, has proven to be highly effective.

From internship to full-time employment through targeted recruitment

Following the successful program, Mads was offered a permanent position at Axcess Nordic. This outcome highlights the value of a recruitment process that focuses on a candidate’s motivation and ability to create real impact.

“I quickly got the impression that the company had put genuine effort into the process, and I found the diversity among the team and the size of Axcess Nordic particularly appealing,” says Mads.

An innovative approach to job searching and recruitment

The collaboration between Axcess Nordic and Improve Business Academy demonstrates how an alternative approach to recruitment and job searching can lead to success. By focusing on motivation and practical experience rather than traditional qualifications, new opportunities are created for both companies and candidates.
