Our
mission
What do we do?
We at Gateway Umeå work directly with employers to support them in developing stronger recruitment processes, better skills supply, combined with improved talent attraction both for employers and for the Umeå region as a whole. We do this by forming win-win collaborations, organizing events, spreading knowledge, and putting you in touch with the talents themselves.
Who do we help?
We work with both private enterprises and public organizations, however, we have a particular focus on small and medium sized enterprises (SME) within the sectors of:
-
Industrial production
-
Creative and cultural companies
-
Digitalization
Even if your sector is not listed, or you work for a larger organization you can still take part in many of our events and our digital resources!
Knowledge bank for employers
We've collaborated with our friends at Move to Gothenburg to bring you a knowledge bank on the topics of talent attraction and strengthening your employer branding to get ready to hire! In it you can find articles about how to get started with recruiting globally, building a well-informed recruitment strategy and things to keep in mind to help your new hire get acquainted with life in Umeå.
The knowledge bank will be expanded upon throughout our project's lifetime. Check in now and then to keep yourself updated.
Summer jobs platform
An important step to create sustainable growth in Umeå is to strengthen Umeå students' relationship with Umeå as a place to live, work and build a future.
To retain talent, we've launched a pilot of gathering summers jobs for Umeå students in one single place: The Gateway Umeå Summer Jobs board. Read more on how you can participate as an employer by clicking the button below.

Gateway Umeå is looking to get in direct contact with employers who wish to improve their talent attraction and retention, their recruitment processes, internationalize and make top notch onboarding strategies.
