Ytfor

YTFOR is a Norwegian digital B2B portal based in Trondheim at Dyre Halsesgt. 16, 7042 that connects businesses seeking temporary workforce solutions with organisations that have surplus workforce capacity. Launched as a smart and cost-effective labour-sharing platform, YTFOR addresses the challenge of excess staffing capacity by creating a marketplace where employers can lease out surplus employees and organisations seeking temporary staffing can locate available personnel. The platform currently connects 454 registered businesses and enables candidates to be listed for temporary hire across diverse sectors.

The platform serves employers across a broad range of industries including construction and building, retail trade, hotels and accommodation, automotive, accounting and finance, restaurants and hospitality, fishing and aquaculture, industrial manufacturing, transport, cleaning and maintenance, healthcare and social care, oil and gas, and warehouse and logistics operations. YTFOR offers two primary services: leasing in labour for organisations with temporary staffing shortages or peaks in demand, and leasing out labour for businesses with surplus employees, allowing them to reduce the risk of having to make permanent staff redundant. The platform aims to provide a flexible, smart and cost-effective solution for industry staffing challenges.

YTFOR enables anonymous interaction between parties until contract signature, with the leasing-out party paying 5% of the agreed hourly rate to the platform for connection and contract administration services, whilst the leasing-in party pays only the agreed hourly rate. The platform has received positive feedback from pilot customers including RIIS Eiendom AS and Snusbonden AS, with customers noting the platform's searchability and potential to solve workforce challenges. YTFOR describes itself as offering a win-win solution for all parties when businesses face permitting or lay-off situations or need temporary workforce capacity.
