What TOPTEMP does

TOPTEMP (legal entity Amesto Top temp AS) is a Norwegian staffing and recruitment agency headquartered at Smeltedigelen 1, Oslo, operating as a subsidiary of the Amesto diversified group. Founded in 1990-1993, the company provides three core service lines: temporary staffing (Bemanning), permanent recruitment (Rekruttering), and consultant mediation (Konsulentformidling) for IT and Engineering project-based assignments. It serves employer and job seeker customers across six dedicated vertical divisions — Energy, Network/IT, Hospitality, Logistics, Office & Finance, and Consulting — with offices in Oslo, Lillestrøm, and Sweden, and a 101-250 person workforce.

The company's technology stack combines a candidate-facing website portal (Jobbjakten and Finn Ledig Stilling) with an employer-facing Bedrift division and a proprietary consultant partner platform (Konsulentpartner) for IT/Engineering freelancer placement. Core technology includes applicant tracking, CV scanning, and automated candidate-to-job matching with automated decision-making based on qualifications, experience, interests, and availability. Operational scale is demonstrated by 119 active job listings, approximately 56 interviews conducted daily, and 29,445 combined social media followers.

Toptemp operates a sales-led B2B go-to-market with dedicated account managers and regional consultants (including a dedicated Romerike team), supplemented by self-serve channels for job seekers and a free-to-join consultant platform. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company holds Revidert Arbeidsgiver, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001 certifications, reinforcing its position as a quality-stamped, compliance-verified staffing provider for Norwegian enterprises.
