About Recruit Refugees

Opening doors for diverse hiring

We believe in the value that refugees bring to the works force and strive to provide them with the opportunities they deserve.

Welcome to Recruit Refugees!

I’m Genna Myhre, and our journey began with my own experience as an immigrant navigating the Norwegian job market. Like many others, I faced some challenges finding the right opportunities and understanding the application process when I moved to Norway. While I was learning Norwegian at Voksenopplæring, I met many others who shared similar struggles as me and made me realize there was a gap in support.
Together with my partner, Mats Myhre, we founded Recruit Refugees to bridge this gap. To make this vision a reality, we created a user-friendly job portal designed to simplify the job search process for refugees. Our platform offers accessible resources in multiple languages, and is a central hub to make it easier for refugees to find and apply for jobs that match their skills and experience.
We believe in the power of community, diversity, and inclusion. Our job portal connects refugees with potential employers, highlighting the unique perspectives and talents they bring to Norwegian businesses.

Miriam Wahlmann

Board Leader

Jeg heter Miriam Wahlmann. Jeg har jobbet i restauranten bransjen i mange år, men også vært 12 år i barnehage/skole. Per nå er jeg administrativ leder med personalansvar på Pollen restaurant. Dette er en nyåpnet restaurant i 2024. Vi samarbeidet med Recruit refugees for å finner rett bemanning, og det har gjort at jeg har lært masse nytt om hvordan livet som flyktning kan være. Derfor blei det enda viktigere for meg å kunne være med å støtte Recruit Refugees.
