Best Talent is a Scandinavian executive search firm specialising in Life Sciences, Technology and Engineering.

Founded in 2003, we have more than 20 years of experience delivering executive search and specialist recruitment across Pharma, Life Science, Engineering and Technology.

Our roots are firmly grounded in Pharma and Life Sciences, while our expertise has expanded over the years to cover the full range of Engineering disciplines and Technology. We work across technical and commercial functions, from highly specialised positions to C-level and senior executive roles.

Since joining Best Talent in 2006, Janne Kofoed has played a central role in developing the company and its international network. As of 1 July 2026, Janne is the sole owner of Best Talent and continues to lead the company.

Through long-standing relationships with clients and candidates, Janne is a trusted partner to organisations that value industry insight, continuity and a personal approach.

Best Talent was founded by Helle Jørnung, whose extensive Pharma background helped establish the strong Life Science foundation that remains part of our business today.

Best Talent is supported by a strong team combining senior industry and search expertise with an international perspective. Our Business Support Manager brings a strong international background and supports our clients, candidates, international search activities and company branding.

Every assignment is led by a senior partner or consultant with relevant industry and functional expertise, supported by our experienced search team. We work closely with our clients from the initial brief through to appointment, combining targeted search methods with our strong network across Scandinavia and internationally.
