WYX

What WYX does

WYX AS is a Norwegian private limited company headquartered at Dronningens gate 12 in Moss, operating primarily within the Østlandsområdet (Eastern Norway) region. The company runs two distinct service lines from a single office: a multi-trade contractor business and a recruitment/headhunting business.

The contractor business delivers plumbing (rørarbeid), carpentry (tømrerarbeid), and painting (malerarbeid) to both commercial clients (næring) and private residential customers. Service scope spans bathroom construction and renovations, sprinkler and mist systems, technical rooms, cooling and ventilation, service work, rehabilitation, interior finishing, additions and new construction, glass and facade work, interior and exterior painting, industrial painting, and wallpapering. WYX holds Sentralgodkjenning (Central Approval), the Norwegian certification validating construction competence for public and private projects.

The recruitment business provides headhunting for particularly skill-intensive positions using a structured process of job postings, interviews, CV verification, reference checks, and final-candidate testing via a recognized clinical cognitive test and the NEO-PI-3 (Big-5) personality assessment. WYX also helps job seekers obtain permanent roles at other firms, operating a registration portal through Recman. Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees, with pricing set on a quote basis and free site visits (befaring and pristilbud) used as a customer acquisition mechanism. The company is led by Einar Ewald (Daglig leder / Manager Director/partner), who has prior leadership experience in the staffing and recruitment industry. No external funding, parent company, or institutional ownership is disclosed; the firm appears independently held and privately operated.
