About Us

R2A was founded in Copenhagen in 2013. The company rebranded in 2025. Today we have 15 nationwide branches in Norway that live up to our philosophy of having close personal contact with the market, clients and candidates. Local branches give clients and candidates the experience of a smaller, personal agency with the resources of a large company.

At R2A, you get a permanent contact person who knows your business. Your advisor participates in the entire delivery process to ensure that we deliver both the right expertise and the right person to your business.

We know that fast response time is often a quality goal in itself. By knowing our customers and our market, we work ahead of your needs to ensure a fast delivery when that is the goal.

To maintain consistently good results, we emphasize close personal follow-up of our clients, candidates and hired employees.

Our history

The dream of having an impact on his own working life led Erik Nilsen to found R2A. He brought with him solid experience from the business world and the awareness of the difference it makes for people to experience that their contribution to the labor market has value. 

"We started very modestly, and I was out as a temporary worker several times myself. It was a good way to get to know the business," says Erik Nilsen about the humble beginnings.

We are part of the R2A Group

R2A is part of the R2A Group, an international group of recruitment and staffing agencies with offices in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and England.

Our corporate culture - vision, mission and values

Quality is central to our everyday lives. We have developed the concept of quality to mean “delivering as agreed in every relationship”. We recruit, develop procedures, conduct internal training and communicate based on this concept of quality.

R2A is the personal staffing agency. We care about our customers and deliver through personal meetings and good dialogue with contact persons. We also ensure that personal interviews are conducted with our candidates, where competence and characteristics are thoroughly examined. 

Our vision
We will be the preferred recruitment and staffing partner in the Nordics.

Our mission
We connect people and businesses to build careers and strengthen organizations locally and across the Nordic region.

We are a values-based company and our core values are the very foundations of our business. They guide the way we think, behave and approach a task. We expect all our employees to identify with and proudly live our four core values.

We find candidates for most industries and job categories.

We are curious.
We seek new knowledge, share with each other and learn from our experiences so that we can develop ourselves, our clients and our candidates.
We are partners
We work to be a valued HR, recruitment and career partner for our clients and candidates. With our local presence, personal commitment and Nordic reach, our clients and candidates should feel that we are close by - together we turn challenges into solutions and skills into careers.
We are professionals
We set high standards and hold ourselves accountable for our promises and actions. We promote diversity, equality and are committed to an inclusive recruitment process with equal opportunities for all our candidates and employees.
People in the city center
We have a genuine interest in people - that they succeed and thrive. We put people first to create professional recruitment processes and great candidate experiences.

Our corporate social responsibility

In our business, we want to see the bigger picture and we take our social responsibility seriously. Our actions should stand as positive examples in this work and we will always seek to improve and be innovative.

In 2015, R2A Group established an international CSR group consisting of a representative from each company in the group. The group works purposefully with CSR for all companies.

Some general goals are implemented without depriving the individual company of the opportunity to implement individual CSR measures. The culture and CSR level in the countries where R2A Group is represented is always the starting point when deciding which CSR strategies and policies best match the individual company.
