About NearYou

We are NearYou. We have gone from being a company among others to becoming a societal actor. With us as a partner and employer, we promise to give more of what we do best. We are best at being close, human, and a counterpoint to stress, treating people as individuals rather than statistics, and countering an overly impersonal digitalization.

We are with you, a handshake, a promise. We want to provide what we believe a broken labor market needs. For you as a candidate, this means an actor who supports you regardless of where you are in your career and where you want to be. We want to be the security in a fast world. We support, challenge, and ask how it’s going. Quite naturally, we think.
