In an ever-evolving job market, companies face new challenges and opportunities to attract the right talent. Traditional recruitment methods are being challenged, and companies are forced to think outside the box. Sopra Steria, Norway’s leading consulting firm in digitization, innovation, and sustainability, uses various channels and methods to recruit new candidates.

“We are focused on communicating who we are and what we stand for. This is something we have been working on strategically for many years,” says Eide.

Hunting for Talent

She explains that they use internal recruiters, managers’ networks, and employee referrals to attract the best candidates. They are now also testing new opportunities by partnering with Vouch.

“Vouch is an extension of our internal referral channel, which can also activate an even larger network,” explains Eide.

The partnership with Vouch makes it possible to connect with passive talents who wouldn’t otherwise be on the radar.

“Vouching for someone creates a win-win situation, where companies gain access to qualified candidates. We get warm candidates, the candidates often feel flattered to be recommended, and the outcome can potentially be a bonus reward for the referrer,” she adds.

Attracting Talent

Sopra Steria has a strong brand and has won the award for Norway’s Best Workplace for several years in a row, through Great Place to Work. This attracts talent from both large and small organizations.

“The good work environment, exciting and socially beneficial projects, and not least, the development opportunities also drive talent to Sopra Steria,” says Eide.

But what does Sopra Steria look for in potential candidates?

Eide emphasizes the importance of positive, open individuals who contribute to the community and demonstrate professionalism.

“We are looking for people who are committed to contributing to society and who want a job with meaning,” she says, adding:

“If you also always put the customer first and act professionally in your work, then you are well on your way to being a relevant candidate for us!”

Why Vouch for Sopra Steria?

Eide believes there are many reasons to recommend candidates to Sopra Steria. A strong culture, an environment that promotes personal and professional development, and the opportunity to work on meaningful projects for large public and private organizations in Norway are just some of the benefits.

“We are extremely proud of our culture, our social and professional groups, and our flat structure that encourages knowledge sharing and collaboration,” she concludes.

The collaboration with Vouch is an example of how they embrace innovative solutions to meet future recruitment needs.
