Jobindex sells its Norwegian job site Jobbsafari to Finnish job search site Duunitori

30 June 2023

Danish job board Jobindex announced that it has sold its Norwegian job site Jobbsafari to Finnish job search site Duunitori to concentrate its activities in Denmark.

The price of the transaction was not disclosed, but the sale will not have a significant impact on the results for 2023, according to Jobindex.

With the sale of Jobbsafari Jobindex group ends its activities in the other Scandinavian countries.

In 2019, Jobindex sold its Swedish activities to Blocket, a company in the Schibsted group.

“For Jobindex, it is the completion of its strategy to concentrate on the Danish market,” the company stated.

For Duunitori, the purchase is about establishing itself in Norway. Duunitori already operates in Sweden under the name Jobbland.

Kaare Danielsen, director of Jobindex said, “It was important for us to find the right customer for our activities in Norway. We owe it to our Norwegian users and customers. We have found that in Duunitori, whose DNA is in many ways similar to Jobindex. Duunitori started as an entrepreneurial company with a mission to help employers and talent find each other, and is today a leader in the Finnish market.”

Danielsen added, “At Jobindex, we have previously decided to gather all our efforts to develop the opportunities for Danish jobseekers and companies, so it is a win-win situation. I am happy that Duunitori is giving the Norwegian platform a good home and new growth, and am sure they are the right people to continue developing what we started.”

Duunitori CEO and co-founder Thomas Grönholm added, “What Jobindex and Duunitori have in common is that we are both entrepreneur-led pioneer companies. By boldly renewing recruitment, we have successfully challenged traditional players such as large media companies. Now we are continuing our growth story abroad. This is an important step for us.

Earlier this month Jobindex announced that it is applying to have the company’s shares officially delisted from the Nasdaq First North Growth Market Denmark. The last trading day for the company’s shares on Nasdaq First North is today 30 June.
