Equinor, an international energy company, needed to attract senior leaders in renewables and digital, areas new to its core business, to build a future executive pipeline aligned with its low-carbon strategy. The challenge involved navigating global talent shortages and varying processes while maintaining a strong focus on compliance and cost efficiency. To address this, Equinor partnered with vendor AMS and its Executive Search service.

This approach successfully filled numerous critical leadership roles, ensured a high-touch candidate experience, and reduced risk. The partnership with AMS delivered a measurable impact, achieving approximately a 40% cost reduction compared to traditional executive search models.
