Our Philosophy

The right people in the right places change everything

Barona Experts is the right partner when expertise, leadership, and potential make the difference

Senior and expert-level hiring shapes long-term competitiveness. But evaluating talent isn’t just about resumes or years of experience. It’s about identifying what matters now and what’s needed next.

We combine recruitment, assessment, and capability development with data, sector knowledge, and insight into changing work life. As a strategic partner, we don’t just find talent – we help build future-ready organizations.

When we step in

Expert-level needs come in many forms. Sometimes, it’s a clear hiring need, and sometimes, the right direction is still unclear. We help when you have to make the right decision or when the solution is still missing.

You need new types of expertise to fuel growth, but the ideal profile is hard to define – or hard to find through open searches

You want to assess the potential of experts or team leads, and need an objective outside view

You need talent fast, but a permanent hire isn’t realistic or timelines are tight

You’re hiring for an executive or board-level role and want to ensure alignment with long-term strategy

You need international talent, but lack the networks, and the process feels heavy to start alone

You want to develop internal expertise for the future, but need sparring and direction to move forward

We have received personal service and we feel that Barona has wanted to learn from our methods of operation. Barona is a large player with broad shoulders and extensive networks of ICT experts.
