Different industries, different decades, the same operating model: a senior partner who stays close, a network that runs deep, and the patience to build for the long term.
Democratising the US stock market - from Copenhagen.

Fintech · Investing
When Public.com set out to make public markets in the USA accessible to everyone, they chose Copenhagen as the engineering engine room behind the ambition. With the headquarters in New York and only the CTO and a small handful of people on the ground in Denmark, GlobeSearch was trusted to build the Development Center out from that early core.
Public.com approached us in 2020 - more ambition and ideas than results at that point, and a Danish footprint that consisted of the CTO and a few selected team members. The brief was clear: establish a professional software Development Center in Copenhagen capable of carrying a US fintech challenger into hyper-growth. With more than $400M raised from leading VCs, that ambition was put on the fast lane.
We responded with a dual-track strategy. On one side, we activated our network and domain expertise to move senior engineers, team leads, QA specialists and managers at the pace the business demanded. On the other, we partnered with PR agency HELP on a deliberate employer-brand play - placed stories in Børsen and DR, sustained presence on LinkedIn - to make Public.com a destination of choice for senior Danish tech talent.
The Copenhagen organisation grew from a small founding group to around fifty. Today the strategy is laser-focused on the US market, with a planned IPO in the next two to three years as the next major milestone. International expansion remains a possibility further down the line - one we'd personally love to see, as we'd happily use the platform ourselves.
More recently, Public.com has moved decisively into AI - and were the first to introduce an actual AI brokerage, taking the category another step forward.
Building an engineering hub for a hyper-growth US fintech demands more than recruiters - it demands a partner who can carry both the search and the story.
The brief
Two decades alongside Microsoft in Denmark.
Continuous partnership
Placements across the org
Leadership to specialist
Enterprise Software
When GlobeSearch first sat down with Microsoft in 1991, the Danish subsidiary was a handful of people with an outsized vision. What followed was a partnership that helped shape both companies for two decades.
Across twenty years we worked closely with Microsoft as the organisation scaled in Denmark - from country managers and commercial leadership to sales, consulting and specialist hires across every layer of the business.
The relationship reached deep into the Microsoft ecosystem: hundreds of placements over time, including a dedicated recruitment partnership with the Microsoft Development Center in Vedbæk, and earlier collaborations with Damgaard and Navision before they became part of the Microsoft family.
The longevity wasn't accidental. It was built on two decades of trust, a shared understanding of what 'good' looked like, and the kind of relationships that turn a search firm into an extension of the leadership team.
Twenty years alongside Microsoft built the trust, the deep domain knowledge, and a strong pipeline of candidates at every level - so we could react fast, and with quality, whenever the next hire mattered.
The brief

Cybersecurity · 2FA
In 2012 we began working with SMS Passcode, a focused Danish player in two-factor authentication. The DNA fit was immediate - a specialist software business, a specialist software search firm.
From the outset we contributed to SMS Passcode's growth on both fronts of the business: senior leadership and technical specialists in equal measure, across commercial and engineering. The brief never sat still - as the product matured, so did the calibre and shape of the people we placed alongside it.
What carried the partnership over years was alignment: shared objectives, mutual trust, and an honest read of what each next hire needed to unlock. That foundation made GlobeSearch a natural part of the leadership conversation, not just the hiring one.
The chapter closed when US cybersecurity leader Entrust acquired SMS Passcode - a milestone the team built towards, and one we were privileged to support along the way.
When the search firm and the company share DNA, every hire compounds. Years later, that compounding shows up on the cap table.
