OUR STORY
Jyoti, the founder of Skillhus established the company in November 2019, based on a matter very close to her heart-her husband’s experience as a skilled migrant looking for work in Norway.
Her husband is from Australia, and the problems that he faced while looking for skilled work in Norway made her realize just how big of a need exists for a company that specializes in bridging the gap between skilled international talent and the Norwegian workplace.
As a result of this realization, Skillhus was born.
​
Skillhus is a recruitment and consultancy agency that bridges the gap between skilled migrants and refugees and the Norwegian job market.
​
We offer organisations tailor-made workshops and training to help utilise diversity in the team.
