Who We Are:
At Applica, we’re not your typical recruitment agency. We’re a fast-growing, dynamic team that values collaboration, ambition, and having fun while doing what we do best – resourcing projects globally for companies enabling the energy transition.
Our Manchester city-centre office is buzzing with energy. Think WeWork-style workspace, a friendly and supportive team, and all the essentials – unlimited coffee, juice, pastries, and fruit to keep you going. Manchester itself is one of the UK’s most exciting up-and-coming cities, offering vibrant nightlife, world-class football, a thriving media and tech scene, and stunning architecture – it’s like a mini London without the price tag!
The Role:
We’re looking for a Norwegian-speaking Recruitment Consultant to join our Manchester team. It’s an opportunity to become a key player in shaping our presence in Norway together with the existing Management Team. You’ll start in Manchester, learning from our UK team, before potentially building out your own Recruitment Team in Norway in the future.
This role is ideal for a social, ambitious individual with a business development mindset—someone who loves connecting with people and sees the bigger picture. You can be a graduate, student or experienced senior – we are looking for the right personality match.
What You’ll Be Doing:
* Building a top-tier network – Sourcing, screening, and matching Norwegian-speaking candidates with the right opportunities.
* Developing new business – Growing relationships with Norwegian clients and identifying future hiring needs.
* Full-cycle recruitment – Managing the hiring process from start to finish, including interviews, offers, and onboarding.
* Collaborating with our UK team – Learning from our experienced recruiters and working closely with the Manchester office.
* Shaping the future – Establishing a strong recruitment presence for Applica in Norway, with potential for a future leadership role.
What We’re Looking For:
* Fluent in Norwegian and English.
* A caring, flexible personality – you love connecting with people and building relationships.
* A business development mindset – someone who sees opportunities and is proactive.
* Ideally, a graduate or someone with recruitment/sales experience (recent graduates welcome!).
* Based in Manchester (or willing to relocate in the UK) – we want someone who can thrive in our city-centre office with potential to possibly relocate to Norway at a later stage.
What’s in It for You?
* Career growth opportunities – clear progression to a future leadership role in Norway.
* Work in one of the UK’s best cities – Manchester is a hub for sports, media, nightlife, and culture.
* Supportive, fun work culture – quarterly socials, birthday celebrations, and an annual year-end trip (last time, Barcelona!).
* Hybrid working – a mix of office and remote working to suit your lifestyle.
* Private health insurance – we’ve got you covered.
* Bespoke training programme – to help you develop and excel in your role.
Why Join Applica?
We’re all about growth – yours, ours, and the careers we help shape. You’ll be joining a dynamic team, gaining valuable UK recruitment experience while building something big in Norway. If you’re ambitious, social, and ready for a career with real impact, we’d love to hear from you!
