What Emploi does

Emploi (legal entity Emploi Helse AS) is a Norwegian healthcare staffing agency founded in 2014 by Lisa Åsland and headquartered in Mo i Rana, Nordland. The company places Scandinavian-speaking doctors, nurses, healthcare aides (helsefagarbeidere), social workers (sosionomer) and child welfare educators (barnevernspedagoger) into temporary assignments at Norwegian municipalities and private healthcare operators across all of Norway. The core service is the matching and ongoing management of locum staff (vikariater), bundled with travel to/from the assignment, furnished housing with Wi-Fi, a dedicated contact person for the duration of the placement, and weekly follow-up. Four placement product lines are marketed — Nurse Staffing, Healthcare Aide Staffing, Physician Staffing and Social Work Staffing — with Physician Staffing served through a dedicated sub-division, Emploi Medic, established in 2025.

The business model is B2B/B2G direct sales: Emploi wins multi-year framework agreements (rammeavtaler) through public procurement with individual municipalities or groups of municipalities, including a primary-supplier arrangement with Brønnøy kommune and framework deals covering 14 Vestland municipalities and five former-Vestfold municipalities. Revenue is generated as a margin on hourly billings versus wages paid to contractors, with monthly billing to municipalities and monthly wage payments to contractors in arrears. Pricing is anchored to Norwegian healthcare tariff agreements, supplemented by EU agency-worker equal-treatment requirements, and the company offers above-tariff pay, free travel and housing, and a 2% occupational pension contribution. Back-office technology is provided by the third-party Recman staffing platform for candidate registration, timesheet logging and assignment management, and by Pirsch for anonymous web analytics; there is no proprietary technology product or public API.

The company operates with a lean internal team of approximately eight administrative staff supported by a much larger pool of contracted healthcare professionals on assignments. Certifications include ISO 9001, Miljøfyrtårn (Eco-Lighthouse) and Revidert Arbeidsgiver (Revised Employer), together with compliance under the Norwegian Transparency Act (Åpenhetsloven). Distribution is direct, with no intermediaries; candidate acquisition runs primarily through Recman self-registration, Instagram/LinkedIn/Facebook community channels and word-of-mouth referrals described by the company as its most impactful growth driver.

Core offering

Emploi is a Norwegian healthcare staffing agency that places Scandinavian-speaking healthcare professionals — including nurses, healthcare aides, physicians, social workers, and child welfare educators — into temporary assignments across Norwegian municipalities and private healthcare facilities. The company secures framework agreements (rammeavtaler) with municipalities, manages end-to-end logistics including travel and furnished housing, and provides dedicated personal follow-up to contractors throughout each assignment.

Product overview

Emploi is a Norwegian healthcare staffing agency that operates as a single, unified staffing platform connecting Scandinavian-speaking healthcare professionals — including nurses, healthcare aides, physicians, social workers, and child welfare educators — with municipalities and private sector employers across Norway. The core offering consists of four placement services (Nurse Staffing, Healthcare Aide Staffing, Physician Staffing, and Social Work Staffing), all supported by the same back-office infrastructure: Recman for candidate management, furnished housing and travel arrangement, dedicated personal follow-up, and competitive pay. Emploi Medic is a specialized sub-brand under the platform dedicated to physician and specialist placements. There is no separate software product or SaaS offering — the company is a staffing services provider, not a technology product company.
