🔎January hiring insights: Nordic tech market
As we move into 2026, our team at iFindTech have been speaking with candidates and clients across the Nordic tech ecosystem and a few key hiring challenges have emerged as common themes in January
👨💻 For clients
1. Finding specialised talent
Roles in niche tech areas such as AI/ML, cybersecurity and cloud infrastructure continue to be highly competitive making it tougher to attract the right skill sets quickly
2. Balancing speed with quality
With multiple companies vying for top candidates, hiring teams are under pressure to move fast without compromising on alignment with company culture and long-term potential
3. Salary expectations vs budgets
Candidates’ expectations in certain tech fields are rising, which can strain budgets and require creative compensation discussions
👤 For candidates
1. High competition for standout roles
While demand remains strong, the best opportunities receive significant attention, meaning job seekers must differentiate themselves with strong portfolios and clarity value propositions
2. Navigating hybrid and remote preferences
Candidates are increasingly selective about flexibility and companies still refining their policies can face mismatches in expectations
3. Evaluating long-term fit
With so many options on the table, candidates are taking more time to assess mission alignment, career growth and team culture before committing
At iFindTech, we’re focused on helping both sides overcome these hurdles from guiding candidates through processes and finding the right fit for our clients in a short period of time

Today marks Epiphany Day! ☀️
Epiphany commemorates the moment of revelation traditionally recognised as the visit of the wise men, symbolising the idea that light, purpose and truth are meant to be shared beyond borders
Beyond its religious meaning, Epiphany is a reminder that clarity often comes after reflection and that new perspectives can reshape how we move forward, personally and professionally
Here’s to staying curious, open and willing to learn from unexpected journeys and insights!
