“It is gratifying to once again show growth combined with strong cash flows,” NetJobs CEO Niklas Eriksson said. “IN Q2 there were increased personnel costs partly because of more sales but also due to higher social security contributions for young people in Sweden and this has allowed our personnel costs to have increased compared with the same period last year.”
“In line with our strategy to increase the proportion of recurring revenue and improve customer relations, in the third quarter we decided to develop a new customer service feature. For our customers, it will mean increased support and advice about our services,” Erikkson said.
“During the remainder of the year, the focus is on increasing profitability and revenue growth of the company,” Eriksson said.
