You help someone work out how hiring actually works in the Nordics.

### What you would do

A Ukrainian engineer with ten years behind her can send eighty applications in Norway and hear nothing back. The market is not closed. It is unwritten, and you know how it is written.

- Explain how hiring here works: references, networks, the interview, the language question, what a Nordic recruiter reads first.
- Read the CV the way a hiring manager here reads it, and say what you see.
- Run a mock interview when they are close, and be honest afterwards.
- Point them at the parts of the market that are genuinely open.

### Who we are looking for

- You have worked in Norway, Sweden, Denmark or Finland and know the market from inside it.
- You have hired, sat in on hiring, or been close enough to know what decides the call.
- You work comfortably in English.

Two ways to do this: take mentees when you have time, or stay with one person for six months. Tell us which.

### What you get

You will know whether they got in, and with the six-month option you will have seen every step of how. The reference we write can say that in detail.

### After you apply

You will get an email from us either way. The next step, when we go ahead: you choose one of the two options, and we introduce you to a mentee in your field.
