What Jobbnorge does

Jobbnorge is a Norwegian job search and recruitment platform operated by the legal entity Grade Jobbnorge AS (Org.nr. 861 496 872), headquartered in Bodø, Norway, and founded in 1991. The company has operated in the Norwegian recruitment market for over 30 years, connecting public and private sector employers with job seekers. Its platform serves a base of 550,000 active job seekers and generates 4.5 million monthly page views. Jobbnorge supports four languages (Norwegian Bokmål, Norwegian Nynorsk, English, and Northern Sami) and operates primarily as a self-serve web platform, supplemented by an enterprise sales motion for larger clients.

The core product is the Jobbnorge.no job search portal, which is built on a JavaScript-dependent web stack and integrates with the broader Grade product ecosystem. Around this core, Jobbnorge offers a modular Talent Management suite comprising a candidate profile and CV system (Jobbsøker), an employer dashboard (Jobbadmin) with Feide single-sign-on for educational institutions, and additional modules for recruitment, job marketing, career sites, digital candidate feedback, digital reference acquisition, pre- and onboarding, learning management, employee interviews and goal management, competence management, and employee surveys and pulse measurements. The modules can be deployed standalone or as a fully integrated HR suite.

Jobbnorge's commercial model combines self-serve job posting and advertising services (media consulting, graphic services, and redistribution to digital and print media) for SMBs and individual employers with quote-based enterprise subscriptions for the broader Talent Management suite. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and billing cadence is described as annual. The platform targets both public and private sector employers, with a documented presence in the Norwegian education sector (Nord University) and supports Feide-based login to facilitate that segment. Jobbnorge operates exclusively within Norway and does not disclose revenue, funding, or detailed headcount beyond the 11-50 employee band.
