Scandic

Scandic Rekruttering is a Nordic recruitment company founded in 2019, headquartered in Sandnes, Norway. The company specialises in permanent recruitment across three core sectors: hospitality (chefs, kitchen staff, front-of-house personnel), skilled trades (electricians, carpenters) and white-collar roles (IT, finance, management). Scandic Rekruttering operates through three integrated services: Talent Acquisition with pre-vetted candidates matched to specific roles and timelines, HR Consulting providing strategic workforce planning and compliance advisory across Nordic labour regulations, and Employee Management handling onboarding, work permits, payroll and ongoing compliance. The company builds its approach on direct operator experience, having started in the kitchens of Stavanger's offshore hotels and maintaining direct partnerships across Sweden, Lithuania, Poland and Cyprus to source candidates without middlemen or recycled candidate lists.

Scandic Rekruttering serves the hospitality sector through placement of chefs, sous chefs, kitchen managers and front-of-house staff with multilingual capabilities in English, Norwegian, Swedish and Polish. The skilled trades division places electricians and carpenters across Nordic markets, whilst the white-collar division recruits IT professionals, finance specialists and management-level positions. The company offers Trial and Hire programmes allowing clients to test candidate fit before permanent commitment, with a unique 72-hour relocation capability and candidate on-site placement.

The company operates across Norway, Sweden and Denmark, serving clients from its Sandnes headquarters and regional partnerships. Scandic Rekruttering differentiates itself through zero upfront fees (payment only on successful placement with tiered reduction to zero after 90 days), rapid placement timelines, direct relationships with candidates rather than brokered lists, and deep understanding of Nordic hospitality and labour market contexts. The company is trusted by Nordic operators including Fitjar Fjordhotell, Eliassen and Sirdal Høyfjellshotell, and responds to client inquiries in English, Norwegian, Swedish and Danish within one business day.
