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.

IT.no ble stiftet sent i 2020 med en klar visjon om å forenkle IT og digitalisere Norges bedrifter. Målet var å klare dette med til gunstige priser og den beste kundereisen med ansatte som har langvarig erfaring fra bransjen. Vi skulle bistå både som en komplett IT-avdeling for bedriftene, men også for muligheten til å begrense tilbudet til medhjelpere for eksisterende IT-ressurser hos kundene. Gründerne i selskapet har begge langvarig erfaring fra ISP og IT bransjen der de bygget opp egne avdelinger. Det var viktig at både en tekniker og en selger begge stod på eiersiden for å ivareta produkt og service så vel som det kommersielle. NØKKELINFO 7MNOK omsetning 2021 183% omsetningsvekst 2022. 11 Ansatte herav 9 teknikere, en selger og en utvikler Ingen eksterne eiere Tilbyr komplette IT-løsninger Oslo basert hovedkontor UTVIKLING Med produkt, “go to market” strategi, visjon og gode innkjøpsavtaler lanserte vi selskapet mot det Norske bedriftsmarkedet i 2021. Det tok ikke lang tid til før flere anerkjente bedrifter stod på kundelisten og flere dyktige ansatte tiltrådde. Selskapet selger i dag hovedsakelig basert på anbefalinger bedrifter i mellom med kun en aktiv selger, men har måttet stoppe salg ved flere for å ivareta gode kundereiser. Vi starter nå et nytt selskap som skal fornye maskinvare/hardware markedet B2B som er bygget på en plattform vi utvikler.

The building industry alone accounts for 40% of the global CO2 emissions. We believe that reducing this number starts with looking at materials we already have. Reuse of building materials is however not easy to coordinate and execute. Our mission is therefore to make this information available, and facilitate the process from design to construction. Through a series of web-applications and integrations with Building Information Modelling (BIM) software, we’ve started to form synchronized and comprehensive solutions to help the building industry reduce its climate change.

Anteroz is the story of friends who found a flavour and a secret known by few but worth sharing with the whole world: Mamajuana, a botanical rum-based drink aged on a 500-year-old Dominican tradition hailed as a source of vitality, the cure to whatever tortures and an aphrodisiac. The stories behind Mamajuana and the joy and passion with which the Dominicans serve and enjoy this exotic drink personify the way they take life itself: as if it is not lived to its fullest unless you do what turns you on. To share this message with the world, we set out to create a global brand and spread this message in a bottle. As a company, we believe in bringing something unique to the world in a sustainable way, never forgetting our roots: just the way we learned in the land of the Midnight Sun and the Northern Lights. It is also fundamental to Anteroz to never forget our products’ roots. Crafted in the Dominican Republic, Anteroz is named after Anteros, the Greek God of love and son of Aphrodite, following the legendary Mamajuana property of manifesting amorous desires. We are determined to honour the Mamajuana tradition with an evolutionary drinking experience and are on a mission to live up to the reputation and be a real turn-on for both those who sip and those who pour our unique blend of fiery herbs and luscious honey-infused spirits.
