Right person in the right
place at the right time – at
the right price
Skills supply is an urgent issue and a major obstacle to growth.
StudentConsulting’s digital offering for recruitment, staffing and filling
temporary positions provides a unique platform that offers better matches,
faster processes and the industry’s most satisfied customers.
The biggest barrier to growth for businesses is finding staff
with the right skills. At the same time, unemployment is rising
and people are finding it difficult to enter the labor market.
StudentConsulting’s business concept is to match the right person
with the right place at the right time – at the right price. This must take to help solve the skills shortage and our clients get skilled substitute
place with the shortest lead time, lowest transaction cost and highest
level of flexibility and quality.
SC JOBBOT – A SUCCESS STORY
A cornerstone of StudentConsulting’s success is the proprietary,
leading and comprehensive business management system SC Jobbot,
which the company has developed along with its customers over 23
years. StudentConsulting’s working methods and comprehensive
management system are ISO certified to ISO 9001 Quality management
systems, ISO 14001 Environmental management systems and ISO
45001 Occupational health and safety. SC Jobbot is a comprehensive
system for consultants, clients, candidates and employees. A major
factor for success is that all parties work with the same system using
separate tools that ensure that each target group works in the most
effective way.
NEW WAYS TO TACKLE CHALLENGES
SC Jobbot is also behind the fact that StudentConsulting is the biggest
provider of substitute teachers for schools in Sweden. The system is a
service that has been very successful when working with municipalities
to find new, more intelligent ways for schools to quickly find substitute
teachers. It manages to fill posts at short notice while solving the long-
term skills supply issue.
“We help many municipalities and companies with temporary
employees, staffing and recruitment,” says Tobias Lindfors, CEO
of StudentConsulting. “This includes managing substitute staff for
schools and kindergartens throughout Luleå municipality, meaning
that we have full responsibility for the temporary staffing function,
from recruitment and quality assurance to matching. SC Jobbot
combined with an optimally composed pool of temporary employees
enables us to maintain a high level of delivery reliability and of
continuity in temporary employees. At the same time, customers are
given the opportunity to take on temporary employees for full-time
positions on an ongoing basis. In this way, we become a staffing,
temping and recruitment function.”
The system matches the school’s requirements in terms of skills
and needs with the pool of substitutes, sends out a request to the
consultants who do the matching, and the substitute quickest to
accept is appointed to carry out the assignment. The solution is a win-
win for both clients and temporary employees.
“Everyone’s a winner with this solution,” says Tobias Lindfors. “We get
teachers. This means that we’re working entirely in line with our mis-
sion – to put more people into work each day while ensuring the most
satisfied customers in the industry.
Digitalization creates new opportunities and can break down
barriers. StudentConsulting was the first to market a video CV service
for job applicants. It’s a way to respond to an increasingly digital
generation. But it’s also a way to make things easy and inclusive for
those who find it challenging to express themselves in writing.”
INDUSTRY AWARD WINNER
The long-term approach behind and development of SC Jobbot
has generated major successes over the years. This has included
StudentConsulting becoming a Gazelle Award winner four times in
northern Sweden and being designated Sweden’s fastest growing
company three times. StudentConsulting was designated Master
Gazelle, and thus the company that has won the Gazelle Award
most times in Sweden, by financial newspaper Dagens Industri in
2019. Between 2020–2022, StudentConsulting had organic growth of
half a billion Swedish kronor. Despite a turbulent environment and
a tougher economic situation, StudentConsulting continued to gain
market share in 2023. In addition, it was recognized as an industry
winner in collaboration with the company "Largest Companies", with
StudentConsulting outperforming its own industry in terms of net sales
and earnings.
For the ninth year in a row, StudentConsulting received the award
for the Recruitment Industry’s Most Satisfied Customers in Evimetrix’s
annual survey. According to the results of this year’s survey, digital
solutions were one of the most important parameters for success.
“It’s great that for the ninth year in a row, we’re demonstrating that
we’re a staffing and recruitment partner you can rely on, regardless
of the economic situation. The award is a fantastic acknowledgement
of our employees, who work daily to
achieve our mission of putting more
people into work each day while
ensuring the most satisfied customers
in the industry,” concludes Tobias
Lindfors.
