Agito

What Agito does

Agito is a Nordic healthcare staffing and recruitment firm founded in 2001 and headquartered at Neptunigatan 52, Malmö, Sweden. The company places doctors, nurses, midwives, and nursing assistants in temporary assignments and permanent positions at public healthcare providers (Swedish regions and municipalities, Norwegian health enterprises) and private healthcare operators across Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland. Agito Sverige AB, the primary Swedish entity, holds framework agreements (ramavtal) with SKR (Sveriges Kommuner och Regioner) covering all 20 Swedish regions and approximately 120 municipalities, while Agito Norge AS serves four Norwegian health enterprises and approximately ten Norwegian municipalities.

The product portfolio spans core temporary staffing (Bemanning), permanent recruitment (Rekrytering), guaranteed ward coverage (Garantibemanning), a specialized surgical team product (Agito Clinical Teams) co-developed with Region Stockholm and Karolinska University Hospital to reduce patient surgical wait times, and ancillary services such as Starta Eget (assisting consultants in forming their own companies, in partnership with Bolageriet). Agito does not operate a proprietary technology platform; candidate registration, CRM, and assignment matching run on the third-party Recman system (agito.recman.no), with the public-facing careers site on Teamtailor and a multilingual website available in Swedish, Norwegian, English, and Finnish.

Agito runs a sales-led, direct-relationship go-to-market with a named account manager assigned to each client, supported by a Nordic Sales Manager for Clinical Teams, on-call phone coverage in evenings and weekends, and digital demand generation via Google Ads, LinkedIn, and Facebook. Revenue is generated through fees on temporary placements and direct permanent recruitment fees; pricing is negotiated quote-by-deal and not publicly disclosed. The company is wholly owned by Adolfsen Group as part of NHC Group, which reported approximately 13 billion SEK in consolidated 2025 revenue, while the standalone Agito Sverige AB disclosed 125 million SEK in revenue and approximately 500 employees on its Teamtailor careers page.

Revenue model

1. Staffing / Temporary staffing services: Agito places doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals on temporary or contract assignments with public and private healthcare clients. Revenue is generated through fees charged to client organisations for providing staffing solutions. The company employs healthcare professionals directly and also works with self-employed consultants (underkonsulter) operating under their own companies.
2. Recruitment services: Agito differentiates between staffing assignments and direct recruitment. In recruitment engagements, once the client identifies the right candidate, they can hire the person directly through Agito rather than as a temporary placement. This is presented as a distinct service from staffing, with the company facilitating the permanent hiring process including personality tests, simultaneous testing, and personal suitability assessments.
