Your Autonomous QA Engineer QA isn't just a checkbox; it's the key to good products, happy users, and overall business success. Thorough testing matters because even a tiny glitch can snowball into a bunch of (unforeseen) issues. But let's be real, most developers aren't keen on writing and maintaining tests – they'd rather focus on product development, where their interest truly lies. So, we decided to tackle the boring and time-consuming part of QA testing by developing an AI-based tool, that mimics a real tester. By leveraging the capabilities of generative AI, we’re set to boost developer productivity and ensure clean, bug-free applications.

We accelerate the green energy transition so that the climate crisis can be solved. This is an important mission for us, and we hope you feel the same. The biggest obstacle in the green transition is keeping the grid’s consumption-generation in balance.

Exaum's unique proprietary power demand response will provide near instantaneous, 100% available power grid balancing.

Puro.earth is the world's leading carbon crediting platform for engineered carbon removal. Our mission is to mobilize the economy to reward carbon net-negative emissions by helping voluntary corporate buyers accelerate carbon dioxide removal (CDR) at an industrial global scale. Via the Puro Standard we create carbon credit methodologies for processes that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for at least 100 years, such as biochar, direct air carbon capture and storage (DACCS), and enhanced rock weathering. We then certify suppliers that run those processes and issue digital, tradable CO2 Removal Certificates (CORCs) into the public Puro Registry, per metric ton of carbon dioxide removed. CORCs are purchased directly from suppliers or via sales channel partners by ambitious corporations like Microsoft, Shopify, and Zurich Insurance, to help reverse climate change and neutralize their residual carbon emissions. If you’re committed to tackling the climate crisis, join our growing team to mobilize the carbon net-negative economy.

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.
