About us
Gateway Umeå is a talent attraction and retention initiative in a collaboration between Umeå Municipality Department of Business and Region Västerbotten. We're happy that you've found us - feel free to read about our team below!
Who we are
We are a cross-organizational team with diverse backgrounds in business development, communication, and organization, passionate about helping Umeå and Västerbotten grow. How? By making our employers even stronger in their employer branding, internationalization, and ability to recruit the best talent, whether they come from the neighboring village or the other side of the world.
What we do
Our mission is to work directly with employers to support them in developing stronger recruitment processes, combined with improved talent attraction to both employers and the Umeå region as a whole. In this endeavour we collaborate with the project Attrahera Flera and Train to Västerbotten, as well as the municipalities of Robertsfors, Vindeln, Vännäs, Nordmaling and Bjurholm to strengthen the whole region.
We especially work with small and medium sized enterprises (SME's) within digitalization, industrial production, and creative & cultural businesses. Beyond that we create information for talent looking to learn about the labor market of Umeå, in close collaboration with Visit Umeå and Future by Umeå.
