About Us

We built SmartHire because the best candidates never apply

SmartHire is an AI-based sourcing tool for in-house recruiters and recruitment agencies in Norway and Sweden. Not an agency — a tool that gives your team access to candidates who would never have applied for your position.

Our Story

Since 2018, we've tested our way to 8 sourcing methodologies that actually work

SmartHire came about because we saw the same problem over and over: companies competing for the same 20% of the candidate market — those actively looking for a job. The remaining 80% were never reached.

We spent millions testing advertising, landing pages, sourcing strategies, and automation. What remained after 7 years is 8 methodologies that consistently deliver qualified candidates — on platforms where they actually are, with messages that actually resonate.

Today, SmartHire is a tool that gives in-house teams and recruitment agencies in Norway and Sweden access to the sourcing capacity that previously only large agencies had.

"We are not a recruitment agency. We are a tool that streamlines your internal recruitment process — you decide who is right, we find them.”

What We Believe

Three convictions that drive everything we do

01

The best candidates aren't actively looking

8 out of 10 top candidates are happy where they are. They don't show up in job portals. To reach them, you need to seek them out — on the platforms they actually use, with a message that lands.

02

The client decides who is right

We are not an agency with opinions about who you should hire. You define the requirements profile. We build the system that filters against exactly what you specify — nothing more, nothing less.

03

Recruitment should be predictable

Starting from scratch with every assignment is inefficient and costly. A good system delivers candidates continuously — not just when it's urgent. That's the foundation SmartHire is built on.

Who is SmartHire for?

Built for those who recruit professionally

SmartHire is designed for two types of users: in-house recruiters who want to increase sourcing capacity without hiring more people, and recruitment agencies who want to scale without a proportional increase in costs.

In-house teams
Supplement the sourcing capacity of a small team. Delivers candidates that your job portal would never have reached.
Recruitment agencies
Scale the number of assignments without hiring more consultants. AI sourcing does the top search automatically.
