We are norika
At norika we foster strategic partnerships of pioneering companies within the digital recruiting industry in Europe. As a group of companies, we house, invest in and develop impactful tech-enabled services and products with the ambition to challenge the status quo of recruiting and serve the companies within our group as a powerhouse and partner to leverage and grow their businesses.
Our Journey
Our journey started twenty years ago, when Klaus, Oliver and Jürgen founded karriere.at in the heart of Linz (Austria), pioneering as the first digital job platform in the country alongside traditional newspaper listings. Today, karriere.at is Austria’s leading job and career platform, serving 4.5 million monthly users and a significant number of corporate entities in Austria. Over the last years, karriere.at put a strong emphasis on partnering with innovative companies in the recruiting industry. Which eventually set the base for establishing norika.
We empower growth through strategic partnerships within our group. Currently, the norika group consists of these companies:
Austria’s leading job and career platform
Mobile- and social recruiting focusing on non-academic jobs in Austria and Germany
Performance-based recruiting focusing on the blue collar market in Austria
ATS provider focusing on big companies in DACH

How did our current entities benefit from strategic partnerships within the norika group?
Partnering up with such an established player in the recruiting industry at an early stage was transformative, granting unique insights and learnings from their growth journey, typically unavailable to startups at our stage. This collaboration accelerated our growth, fostering a mutually beneficial partnership that still drives our progress.
As the youngest partner, we deeply value the support we get within the the norika group. Having a strategic sparring partner, particularly in our early stages, is crucial. We benefited especially in legal, financial, and business matters which supported our growth and development.
Our partnerships within the norika group have turned us into a customer-centric business, boosting our brand, innovation, efficiency, and recruiting effectiveness through valuable shared services and know-how.
