THE URGENT ISSUE IN TODAY'S JOB MARKET IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES: ✪ Traditional recruitment prioritizes CV algorithms and keywords over human potential, by an astonishing 90%. When ATS/AI control who gets seen, we lose the most important factor: the human behind the CV. This creates not just unemployment, but social exclusion - when people can't find work, they lose connection to society and experience profound isolation. ✪ Todays recruitment methods are narrowly fixated purely on qualifications and historical experience, relying heavily on algorithms to sift through CVs. This approach overlooks the unique talents and motivations of individuals, drivingforces, personality and thus missing out on valuable opportunities for growth and success. ✪ THE RESULT: People are often using ChatGPT or Copilot to write their applications + HR are using AI to read them = nobody is getting hired. ✪ Sweden struggles with high youth unemployment and urban-rural divides. Refugee integration remains uneven, and platform work is eroding traditional protections. Union influence is waning, especially in tech and service sectors. ✪ Denmark’s famed flexicurity model is under pressure. Women are overrepresented in part-time roles, and older workers exit early. Gig work is expanding faster than regulation, challenging collective bargaining norms. ✪ Finland faces persistent long-term unemployment and mental health-related exclusion. Industrial restructuring is shifting jobs to tech hubs, leaving peripheral regions behind. Labor mobility remains low despite retraining efforts. In conclusion; the Nordic countries face mounting labor market exclusion despite strong welfare models. Norway leads with 700,000 adults outside the labor force, driven by regional stagnation, immigrant underemployment, and early retirement. The green and digital transitions are creating jobs—but not where displaced workers live. THE PERFECT STORM FOR US! TURNING THE RECRUITMENT MARKET UPSIDE-DOWN «From employer initiated to 100% talent focused.» Our Solution: Talentity.ai = AI meets empathy! Nordic's first community for job seekers, where talent takes center stage. Meeting the talents, rather than relying on historical data on a piece of paper. Creating an empathic AI, that combines human expertise with technology, supporting decision making and not taking over the entire process.

FF Rollerskis AS – Bringing the Real Skiing Feeling to Asphalt FF Rollerskis AS is a Norwegian sports tech company redefining how athletes train off-season by designing and manufacturing world-leading roller skis. Founded by Henrik Lindhagen — skier, inventor, and innovator — our goal is simple: recreate the authentic feeling of skiing on snow, even on asphalt. Traditional roller skis are often stiff, unforgiving, and prone to cause strain or injury due to excessive vibration and poor flexibility. At FF Rollerskis, we’ve reengineered the roller ski from the ground up. Our unique floating fork suspension system and custom-developed rubber compounds drastically reduce vibration while preserving the natural flex and responsiveness of winter skis. The result? Roller skis that feel like the real thing. Our products include the FF V Pro Classic and FF Pro Skate, both equipped with V-groove wheels that enhance directional stability and simulate the resistance of groomed ski tracks. These wheels — along with advanced frame engineering — offer unparalleled ski feel, helping athletes maintain and refine technique throughout the off-season. Our Active series and Junior models make the FF experience accessible for younger athletes and recreational users alike. What sets FF Rollerskis apart: True ski feel on asphalt, with flex and vibration damping unmatched in the market. V-groove wheels that guide the ski naturally, improve control, and make skiing safer — especially for classic technique. Used by top athletes, including members of the Norwegian National Cross-Country Team and elite junior skiers. Only FIS-approved rollerski brand globally. Developed and tested in Norway — under real-world Nordic conditions. We’re committed to environmental responsibility and local production. All development and testing is done in Norway, and our goal is to bring the full manufacturing process home, enabling shorter supply chains, lower emissions, and job creation. Beyond just equipment, FF Rollerskis is building a movement. We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee, provide free lifetime checkups (only pay for parts), and work closely with ambassadors and users to continuously improve our designs. Our customer base spans from beginners seeking safe, stable skis — to elite athletes demanding the highest performance. Whether you’re training for the World Cup, prepping for your first ski marathon, or looking for a smooth ride on summer roads, FF Rollerskis delivers the experience you’ve been missing. It’s not just about equipment — it’s about keeping the skiing spirit alive all year long.
