#WeAreAcademicWork
Who we are
We specialise in supporting clients in identifying and recruiting early-career professionals across fields such as IT, engineering, finance, and more. Because we work with individuals in the early stages of their careers, we do not rely on skills alone to recognise potential. Instead, we take an evidence-based approach, using scientifically grounded methods, to find the right candidates for our clients. This commitment has made us a trusted partner across all our markets.
As an employer, we firmly believe in the potential of ambitious people, whether you are entering the workforce for the first time or bringing years of experience. That belief has transformed our company from a small start-up to the international family of companies we are today. We are one of Akind, and you can find us in Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland.
Are you as driven by results as you are passionate about working with people? Then Academic Work could be the perfect fit for you. Learn more about us.
