Niclas Persson and Christian Hultén invest in HR tech company JobAgent
JobAgent is a sharing and matching service with a focus on making potential available, beyond CVs. Talents decide for themselves how data should be presented, what should be searchable and who the data should be shared with.
“It has never been more urgent to get a better functioning job market. We are glad to have Niclas and Christian onboard as senior advisers and co-owners in the company. Both Niclas and Christian will be of great help when it comes to strategy and planning for international expansion” - says Björn Elowson, CEO of JobAgent.
"JobAgent's innovative sharing service is the most exciting thing that has happened in job matching and recruitment for a very long time. It is obvious that new work methods are needed for a better functioning labor market in the future, and here JobAgent will be a significant part of that change.It feels very good to be on the journey now and hopefully also be able to contribute to the company's development in the coming years. I have already been impressed by the platform, the plans ahead and not least by the team behind the company ” - says Christian Hultén, former COO at Transcom Europe.
“Matching in the labour and talent market is posing a major challenge for the economies worldwide, and increasingly so. With Jobagent’s solution to the problem there is an outlook for disruptive change” - says Niclas Persson CEO, Co-Founder at Deedster and continues “It’s a pleasure and a privilege to support the talented team behind this super exciting venture”
Behind JobAgent are among others the entrepreneur and founder Mats Wernheim, tech guru Fredrik Niemelä (former Product Development Director at Spotify), Carl Magnus Helin (CEO & founder TalentQ) and Mikael Karlsson (founder of Military Work and partner in the Brofond Group.)

We have a bold idea – we think that we have to turn recruitment upside-down.Because you know what – we can´t have processes where we ask candidates for everything but give only one or few something back. We would argue that the candidate him/herself should own their data and be able to reuse it, sharpen it and make it searchable (if that is what the candidate wants to). If you really think about it – isn’t it better to share and cooperate if that is what everyone wants?Ok, so imagine this: In a not so distant future, you might not need to post any ads at all, instead you would apply directly to candidates - (yes, we know – it’s just a dream – just a bold idea). But, what if...JobAgent is the world’s first sharing service for candidates. Our vision is to make potential accessible for all!
