Entrepreneurial Spirit
in a Global Arena

Orc is a company in continuous change. Although it resembles a young start-up in many respects, in recent years Orc evolved from a technology company to having an equal focus on customer orientation and sales. This maturation process is visible in details like the fact that half of the company’s 250 employees now work full-time in sales, service and support. These activities take place mainly at the regional and local level, through Orc’s sales offices. Furthermore, two thirds of the employees now work outside Sweden.

Orc’s continued growth is dependent on its ability to develop employees for the challenges of their work. At the same time the company must be perceived as an attractive place to pursue a career. Orc promotes individual initiative and offers opportunities for development and advancement in the fast-growing global enterprise that the company has become.

Entrepreneurial spirit

Orc aims to be a global company with a personal touch and a strong corporate culture that not only fosters the entrepreneurial and team spirits that are interwoven into the fabric of the company but which also radiates a sense of stability and professionalism.

Orc encourages mobility in the organization and its employees often seek positions at Orc offices in other countries and parts of the world. This mobility and openness to change is often decisive in the company’s expansion into new markets and in connection with acquisitions. With that in mind, Orc looks for these qualities already when recruiting new staff.

Mobile employees also promote the exchange of experience and knowledge between the various financial markets, which is essential for Orc’s ability to assemble expertise in the local markets where its customers are active. This knowledge serves not only as a tool for refining the sales process, but also provides input and feedback for Orc’s product and business development.

One component of the company’s succession planning is to develop the managers in their respective roles through modern leadership training. In addition, Orc strives to establish a consistent approach to leadership and values so that these permeate the entire global organization. The company also conducts a wide range of active HR initiatives with explicit goals and principles in areas like skills development, gender equality, ethnic diversity and health and fitness.

A focus on recruiting top talent

Recruitment is an ongoing process at Orc and is carried out according to uniform procedures. Each new employee starts with a general introductory program that enables newcomers to quickly familiarize themselves with the organization, find their way and feel at home.

As an individual player in a fragmented industry, Orc offers competitive terms and challenges for both experienced and qualified new employees as well as for top graduates in both engineering and economics from leading international universities.
