People4you

What People4you does

People4you AS is a Norwegian recruitment and staffing company founded in 2006, headquartered in Askim with a regional office in Ski, serving businesses and job seekers in the Østfold and Follo regions. The company operates two core service lines: permanent recruitment (rekruttering), placing candidates directly into client companies through structured processes, and temporary staffing (bemanning), employing workers and leasing them to clients while handling all employer responsibilities including payroll, insurance, and equal-treatment compliance under Norwegian law. Its product surface spans 12 industry specializations including IT, finance and accounting, healthcare, construction, office and administration, property and operations, customer service, sales and marketing, schools and kindergartens, and warehouse and production.

The company uses DNV-certified psychometric tools (OPTO personality, CORE ability, and EASI behavior/motivation tests from Master) and all advisors hold DNV recruiter certifications. Operational technology is conventional: Websystemer provides the candidate database, CRM, and time tracking; Visma handles payroll; the Webtemp candidate portal and Visma Employee app support deployed workers. The technology stack is process-grade rather than AI-native, and the firm does not expose any public APIs or AI-driven matching capabilities.

The business model is a mix of managed services (staffing) and professional services (permanent placement). Pricing is not publicly disclosed but is constrained by the Norwegian equal-treatment principle (likebehandlingsprinsippet), which requires billed-out workers to receive compensation at least equal to the hiring company's direct employees. GTM is sales-led and relationship-driven, with dedicated advisors working A-to-Z with clients from two physical offices. The customer base spans SMBs and mid-market firms across banking, IT, construction, manufacturing, food production, and the public sector, including an exclusive multi-year contract with Indre Østfold Municipality for kindergarten assistants. In 2026 the company joined the Veksthuset advisory cluster in both Askim and Ski alongside banking, legal, and accounting partners. The company is privately held and Norwegian-owned, with no disclosed institutional investors.
