Two-year anniversary in Kristianstad is being highlighted in the media

Consid’s two-year anniversary in Kristianstad is being extensively covered in the media in northern Skåne. Both Kristianstadbladet and Norra Skåne are writing about the anniversary and the tremendous growth that the office has experienced.

After two years, the IT company Consid has 36 employees and has expanded its office at Lilla Torg. However, the search for more employees continues, primarily for developers and programmers. The goal is to have 50 employees by the end of 2024.

“The main challenge is getting people to move here,” says office manager Roger Olofsson.

Midway through the interview, a few individuals stop at the corner of Lilla Torg, curiously peering through the shop windows.

“Many think it’s a new café,” says Roger Olofsson, office manager for Consid in Kristianstad.

In reality, they are looking into Consid’s lounge area where employees enjoy coffee breaks, have lunch, conduct meetings, and socialize even after work. The building from 1905 has undergone a complete transformation since the IT consulting company moved in.”

Norra Skåne also writes about Roger Olofsson and Consid’s two-year celebration:

“When Consid opened its office in Kristianstad, the goal was to have 50 employees by the end of 2024. Currently, they have 36 employees. Roger Olofsson is confident they will achieve the goal, although finding the developers and programmers they primarily need is not easy.

That’s why Consid is currently running a campaign targeting professionals who have moved to the big cities, encouraging them to return to the countryside. Those who take up the offer can receive a bonus of 40,000 kronor.

“In Kristianstad, the major challenge is getting people to move here. It’s easiest to attract those who are originally from here. There’s a fantastic environment with the forest and Vattenriket, but people don’t move here just for that; they move for a suitable job that stimulates them.

How has the response been?

“We’ve had some interested individuals, but they don’t always have the exact skills we need.”
