Services and Expertise
We offer both retained executive search and contingent recruitment depending on the role and urgency. For senior or strategic positions, our executive search process delivers highly targeted and discreet results by identifying the best candidates in the market, not just those actively seeking new roles. For mid to senior operational and commercial roles, our contingent recruitment model offers flexibility and speed without compromising on quality.
We specialise in hiring across functions such as sales, marketing, finance, legal, HR, operations and administration. Regardless of the role, our process is thorough, from in depth candidate screening to detailed interviews, ensuring a strong technical and cultural fit.

What was Fram?
Fram Search is named after Fram, the strongest wooden ship ever built. Fram was used by the revered Norwegian explorers Fridtjof Nansen and Roald Amundsen for their polar expeditions, and was groundbreaking in its day.
Just as with our name-sake, we believe pioneering thought, attention to detail, and a robust but flexible culture are qualities to aspire to. We pride ourselves on being specialists, and in that too we take after our namesake.
Fram’s history is quite fascinating, and starts with the conundrum of how to force a ship through the brutal Arctic ice. The plans for Fram were innovative in both design and proportions, and owe much to polar explorer Fridtjof Nansen’s bold theories.
She would be used on three important expeditions: with Fridtjof Nansen on a drift over the Arctic Ocean 1893-96, with Otto Sverdrup to the arctic archipelago west of Greenland – now the Nunavut region of Canada – 1898-1902, and with Roald Amundsen to Antarctica for his South Pole expedition 1910-12. Today, she occupies a unique position in the history of exploration.
