Common situations our clients face – click a question to see how we can help.
How do we get IT skills at a more competitive cost?
You need to strengthen your team with experienced IT, data or AI specialists, but are looking for a more cost-effective alternative without compromising on quality.
How we help: We recruit specialists to match your needs, from India or other countries. You interview and choose the candidates, who work remotely as part of your team. We handle the employment or consulting agreement and offer a solution with a Nordic contracting party.
We have a business-critical system – how do we find the right skills?
You need to develop, maintain or modernise a business-critical system, but can't find specialists with the right experience locally. It might be SAP, Oracle, IBM Mainframe, COBOL or custom-built systems.
How we help: We search internationally for specialists with experience of your specific systems and technical environments. You interview and choose the candidates, who can then work remotely on development, integration, maintenance or modernisation.
How do we recruit a specialist who is hard to find locally?
You are looking for an experienced specialist in, for example, power engineering, automation, industry or R&D. The skills are hard to find on the local job market, and the work requires presence on site.
How we help: We widen the search internationally and present candidates who are interested in working in the Nordics. The specialist can be employed directly by you or work as a consultant through us. For consulting assignments we can also handle work permits, relocation, housing and preparations before the start.
Can we bring our external consultants together under one contracting party?
You use consultants from several suppliers and spend a lot of time on contracts, invoicing and administration. You want to simplify management, get a better overview and reduce costs.
How we help: We bring your external consultants together under one client agreement. The consultants can continue through their own companies or be employed by us. We are responsible for contracts, ongoing administration and invoicing, with transparent pricing and one point of contact for the whole consultant group.
We've found the right person – can we wait before hiring?
You have identified a candidate with the right skills, but want to see how the collaboration works before offering a permanent position.
How we help: We employ the candidate and hire the person out to you for an agreed period. You manage the day-to-day work while we handle employment, payroll and administration. If the collaboration works well, you can later take over the employment on agreed terms.
How do we get experienced skills for a limited period?
A key person leaves, an important project needs reinforcement or the business is facing change. You need experienced skills, but not necessarily a permanent hire.
How we help: We find and present experienced consultants, project managers or interim managers based on the assignment's requirements and timeframe. The chosen specialist can strengthen your organisation for as long as you need, with responsibilities and tasks tailored to the assignment.
