What Hire IT does

Hire IT, operating through the legal entity Hireit Sales Scandinavia AB (Org.nr 556577-8973), is a Swedish staffing and recruitment firm headquartered in Norrköping, Sweden, that places independent consultants in IT, management, business development, and operational development roles. The company operates a single integrated recruitment portal at hireit.se where employers post assignments and consultants apply, targeting enterprise clients seeking project-based expertise in areas such as system development, project management, business analysis, test leadership, and interim executive placements. The platform is built on CATSone recruitment software, which provides CRM, a CV database, automated CV parsing, email campaigns, workflow customization, and detailed reporting; the system also distributes job postings automatically through partner job boards (Monster, CareerBuilder, Jobrapido, Indeed, SimplyHired, Careerjet) and social media channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, X/Twitter, YouTube) via CATSone's booster functionality.

The firm is founder-owned and bootstrapped, with CEO Bengt Sand having established the legal entity in 2012 after operating through eQuality Venture AB since 2006. Headcount is reported at 1-10 employees, and named enterprise clients include Trafikförsäkringsföreningen (TFF), Aptean (formerly Industri Matematik IMI), Atlas Copco, Svensk Exportkredit (SEK), and Kriminalvårdsstyrelsen, with several relationships dating back to 2007. Revenue is generated through professional services placement fees on consultant engagements, with quote-based B2B pricing and no publicly disclosed rates. The operating geography is restricted to Norrköping, Sweden, and the company also operates two related sub-brands: Hire Quality (hirequality.se), a recruitment extension, and Debitime (debitime.com), a time-tracking and billing platform supporting consultant placement operations. The firm is GDPR-compliant and uses Microsoft and Adobe integrations for document handling, but no AI/ML capabilities, patents, awards, or external funding are disclosed.
