About Svante

Do you want to make recruiting, HR, or operational processes more efficient, transparent, and scalable? Without unnecessarily large IT projects? I help companies analyze, simplify, and pragmatically digitize or automate established processes, manual routines, and unclear data flows.

I combine 18 years of recruiting experience with process understanding, data logic, and the ability to pragmatically automate recurring tasks. My focus is on recruiting, interim recruiting, active sourcing, ATS/CRM structures, HR process optimization, and workflow-based automation.

Focus Areas:

  • Interim recruiting, active sourcing, and direct approach for IT, SAP, Digital, and specialist roles
  • Optimization of recruiting and HR processes
  • ATS/CRM consulting, implementation, and data structuring, e.g., Zoho Recruit, Recruitee, Join
  • Automation of communication, matching, scoring, scheduling logic, and follow-ups
  • Building end-to-end workflows across tools, channels, and data sources
  • HR Tech consulting with a focus on benefits, connectivity, and practical implementation

Typical Projects:

  • Operational support in recruiting or active sourcing
  • Introduction or optimization of an applicant tracking system
  • Analysis and improvement of existing recruiting/HR workflows
  • Building automated communication and process chains
  • Structuring data, roles, process steps, and responsibilities

What sets me apart:

I come from practice, think process-oriented, and translate functional requirements into working structures. My approach is down-to-earth: first understand, then simplify, then automate. No tool-play, no over-engineering. But solutions that work in everyday life.
