A good hire is an investment. A bad one is expensive.

Recruitment done well takes market knowledge, established networks and a structured process for assessing both technical competence and personal fit. We have spent 35 years building all three — in the sectors that matter most to the Norwegian economy.

Understanding the role and the organisation

Every assignment starts with a thorough briefing — understanding the role, the team, the culture and what success looks like in 12 months. The right brief is what makes the rest of the process work.

Targeted search and attraction

Active search in our established candidate networks, targeted outreach and job advertising. We reach candidates who are not actively looking — often the most valuable hires — and attract them with a compelling case for the role.

Assessment, interviews and follow-up

Structured interviews, competency assessments and reference checks. We present a shortlist of qualified candidates and support you through the final decision. Follow-up after the hire to confirm the match is working.

Frequently asked questions

We recruit across finance and accounting, IT, engineering, electrical, logistics, office and administration, consulting and hospitality. Our consultants specialise by sector, so you work with someone who knows your industry, understands the roles, and already has relationships with the candidates you want to meet.

A typical permanent recruitment assignment from brief to offer takes four to eight weeks. The timeline depends on the seniority of the role, how specialised the candidate profile is, and how quickly you can move through interviews and decisions. We give you a realistic timeline at the briefing stage and keep you updated throughout the process.

Yes, where it adds value to the decision. We use structured competency-based interviews as standard. For roles where specific cognitive abilities, personality traits or technical skills are particularly important, we can add validated psychometric and skills assessments. We discuss what is appropriate for each role at the briefing stage.

We provide a guarantee period on permanent placements. If the candidate leaves or does not work out during the guarantee period, we replace the search at no additional cost. The specific terms are agreed in the assignment contract.

Yes. Toptemp operates nationally across Norway, and through the Amesto Group we have access to Nordic and international networks for roles that require candidates from a broader geography. For multinational searches, we work with our Amesto Global partners.
