Many enterprises, built for stability, struggle to adapt to rapid technological and market changes. It's no surprise that many are looking for inspiration on how to transform their organisations. What happens when a resourceful enterprise starts to incorporate the agility from the startup world?

Join us for our next episode of How We Hire featuring Antonia Brandberg Björk, who brings her unique perspective from both worlds – from Voi and other tech startups to her current role as EVP People & Communications at Schibsted Marketplaces.


Hiring like a startup: lessons for enterprise growth

Companies often face a dilemma in their hiring strategy: choose between slow, rigid processes or quick, gut-based decisions – both potentially leading to suboptimal outcomes. Even with best practices in place, evaluating multiple candidate data points objectively has remained a challenge – until now.

At Alva, we're revolutionising hiring with **Role Fit**. Built on years of research, Role Fit integrates all hiring data into a single, weighted score, enabling fair and consistent talent decisions at scale.

Join our upcoming webinar featuring Ludvig Wettlén, our Assessment Product Manager and psychologist, who will demonstrate Role Fit and reveal the research behind it.


Introducing Role Fit – the future of hiring decisions

Want to dive into the fascinating world of high-stakes recruitment? Join us for our next episode of How We Hire, where we're going behind the scenes of Sweden's most crucial selection process!

Every year, the Swedish Defence Conscription and Assessment Agency (Plikt- och prövningsverket) faces an extraordinary challenge: conducting over 40,000 assessments that directly impact national security. From police training to military officers, their decisions shape Sweden's protective forces.

We're so happy to welcome John Hermiz, their Chief Psychologist, to share the inside story! As the project leader behind their selection methods and the agency's Swedish Enlistment Battery (I-testet in Swedish), John leads a team of 102 psychologists in this vital mission.

Join our host Linnea Bywall for an in-depth conversation about mechanical assessment methods, the challenges of high-volume hiring, and what it takes to build teams that protect a nation.


Science behind selecting Sweden's protectors

We all know the research: structured, evidence-based hiring methods consistently deliver better outcomes. But as we push the boundaries of what we *can* measure in hiring, fascinating questions emerge about human potential and how we evaluate it.

**Where's the sweet spot between data-driven decisions and information overload? **When does our quest for certainty start working against us?

Join us as Linnéa Bywall sits down with Kajsa Asplund on Friday, January 31st at 13:00.

As our Chief Product Officer at Alva Labs, with a PhD in Talent Management and background as a Licensed Psychologist, Kajsa brings a unique perspective to these complex questions.

In this episode, we'll explore:

💡 The measurement paradox: When knowing more tells us less

💡 The ethics of peering into personality: How far is too far?

💡 Decision paralysis: Is there such thing as too much insight?

💡Keeping it human: How to make data and empathy coexist in hiring

Come join the conversation live! Bring all your questions and get ready for a fascinating discussion about the future of hiring.
