To get started, describe your ideal candidate to Ferovalo, along with any other details about the role. With your team, define your company strategy, current board competencies, desired competencies, and board compensation decided by the annual meeting.

Candidates will apply to your role within a time frame that works best for your company.
Suitable candidates can be found in as little as 5 working days!
Once the application period has ended, Ferovalo will present the top candidates to you. All top candidates are reference-checked by our team before the presentation. Just in case we missed a hidden gem, you will also be given access to the applications of all other qualified applicants.
After reviewing the candidates with the Ferovalo team, you will have the opportunity to conduct interviews. If you want to meet one or more presented candidates, Ferovalo will book interviews with those selected.
When interviews conclude, it is time for you to make the best decision for your company. Whether you want to move forward with one, two, or none of the candidates— Ferovalo is ready to support you.
