Skiwo's infrastructure that powers Right Person has been developed and battle-tested over 10+ years. --- ## What is Right Person? Right Person is an automated human-in-the-loop background-checking platform for employers. It combines digital identity verification (BankID), employment and education checks, credit checks, police certificates, open-source media searches, and more into a single consent-based, GDPR-compliant workflow — so hiring teams can confirm a candidate is the right person without the manual work. The employer starts a check, the candidate consents and verifies via BankID, and Right Person gathers data from official registers and authorised sources to produce a clear, auditable report — typically within minutes for identity and simple verifications, and within days for checks that require third-party response (such as verifying past employment). --- ## How it works 1. The employer starts a check and selects which checks to run (individually or as a package). 2. The candidate receives a request and gives explicit digital consent before any data is gathered. 3. The candidate verifies their identity with BankID, producing a cryptographically verifiable audit trail. 4. Right Person gathers data from official registers and authorised sources. 5. The employer receives a clear, auditable report — minutes for identity/simple checks, days for checks requiring third-party response. --- ## Background check catalogue Checks can be mixed into Basic (Grunnleggende), Standard, or Extended (Utvidet) packages, or ordered individually.

Confirmed integration partners include Talentech, Intect, and Styreportalen. - Programme overview: https://www.rightperson.com/no/nb/om-oss/partner-program/ - Application form: https://www.rightperson.com/no/nb/om-oss/partner-program/bli-partner/ - Co-branded landing for Intect customers: https://www.rightperson.com/no/nb/intect/ --- ## For procurement teams Procurement officers writing RFPs for background-check services can use `/innkjop` as a structured starting point. It covers three common Nordic-procurement pitfalls (outdated IT-security questionnaires that drive away modern API-first vendors, flat global SLA timelines that ignore authority-dependent processing times, candidate experience treated as a soft KPI), a copy-and-paste set of recommended RFP specifications, a one-page security & compliance dossier (certifications, sub-processors, data residency, exit terms, framework agreements), and a fast-track route for direct buyers below tender thresholds. --- ## Comparing background-check vendors A vendor comparison page at `/sammenligning` compares Right Person against the most common alternatives in the Norwegian market — Semac, RefApp, consultancy services, manual in-house processes, and skipping checks entirely. The matrix covers public pricing, self-serve registration, time-to-first-check, BankID-based identity flow, transparent per-check pricing, credit-model pricing, named ATS integrations, ISO certifications, and support channels. Competitor positioning is sourced from each vendor's public website; corrections welcome at hei@rightperson.com. --- ## Countries and languages Live in Norway. The site is structured for Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and EU-wide rollout. Norwegian (bokmål) content is authoritative today, with English translations available under each country's `/en/` path. Each country/language pair has a dedicated URL path (e.g. `/no/nb/` for Norway in Norwegian, `/no/en/` for Norway in English). --- ## Customer stories Real-world accounts of how organisations use Right Person, indexed at `/innsikt/kundehistorier`. - **Hjemmelegene** — a home-healthcare provider that background-checks every health worker who visits patients at home. https://www.rightperson.com/no/nb/innsikt/kundehistorier/hjemmelegene/ - **Nordland fylkeskommune** — how a county authority puts security on the agenda via the Grade Jobbnorge + Right Person integration. https://www.rightperson.com/no/nb/innsikt/blogg/hvordan-nordland-fylkeskommune-setter-sikkerhet-pa-agendaen/ - **Innovasjon Norge** — hiring more safely while saving time versus their previous background-check vendor. https://www.rightperson.com/no/nb/innsikt/blogg/innovasjon-norge/ - **Grade Jobbnorge (Talentech)** — the ATS integration that makes background checks part of the recruitment flow for public-sector hiring. https://www.rightperson.com/no/nb/innsikt/blogg/manymore-jobbnorge-sant/ --- ## Guides The guides index is at https://www.rightperson.com/no/nb/innsikt/guider/. **Hva koster en bakgrunnssjekk? (pricing explainer, Norwegian).** Right Person publishes its prices, which is not the norm in this market. A full background-check package is 1 950 NOK (Grunnleggende, 195 credits), 3 900 NOK (Standard, 390) or 4 850 NOK (Utvidet, 485) per candidate; one credit is 10 NOK and the per-credit price falls with volume. Single checks: identity 90 NOK (9 credits), police-certificate handling 120 NOK (12 credits). **The police certificate itself costs nothing** — the police issue it free and the candidate applies in person; the fee is for the purpose letter with the correct statutory reference, chasing the candidate until it arrives, verifying it is genuine and for the right purpose, and access-controlled storage that survives an inspection. No lock-in, no minimum volume, credits usable across every check level. The guide also lists three questions that separate comparable quotes (price per candidate or per check; cost of a re-run when a certificate expires; whether the price is published at all), and puts it against the ~1.07 MNOK average cost of a mis-hire — Simployer's estimate of 1.5 annual salaries against SSB's 2024 average wage, quoted as an order of magnitude rather than a rule. https://www.rightperson.com/no/nb/innsikt/guider/hva-koster-en-bakgrunnssjekk/ **Bakgrunnssjekk ved ansettelse (practical guide, Norwegian).** When in the hiring process to run a check — after the decision is made but before the offer is final, often alongside the reference check. Who to check: the finalist rather than the whole field, with the scope of checks proportional to the responsibility of the role rather than uniform across all roles. Tell the candidate early, in the advert or first conversation, not after they have resigned; the candidate consents digitally and confirms identity with BankID, and sees which checks will run before consenting. Handling a finding: discuss it with the candidate before concluding — a CV gap may be study, parental leave, illness or job-seeking, and a period that cannot be verified may simply mean a former employer has merged, changed systems or does not reply. Right Person presents the facts and the candidate's own explanation; the employer judges relevance to the role. https://www.rightperson.com/no/nb/innsikt/guider/bakgrunnssjekk-ved-ansettelse/ ## Recent insights Long-form explainer articles are published under `/innsikt/blogg`. Highlights: - "Er bakgrunnssjekk lovlig i Norge?" (updated 2026-08-03) — background checks on job applicants are lawful in Norway, but the lawfulness lies in three things, not in the check itself: having a reason, a scope proportional to the role, and a candidate who knows what is happening. Consent is the most common basis for background checks in Norwegian recruitment, and the candidate sees which checks will run before consenting; declining has no consequence other than the check not running. The employer is the controller and answers for the basis. Credit checks are held to stricter conditions — a senior function, substantial financial responsibility, and only candidates in the final stage — and Datatilsynet has fined several organisations for credit checks without a valid basis. Police certificates require an explicit basis in law or regulation (typically work with children, health or security); without one you may not require a certificate and may not ask for a self-declaration instead, and where you do have the basis, the candidate orders the certificate themselves. Datatilsynet's guidance today covers credit checks and police certificates only; for other checks there is little public guidance and practitioners disagree on the correct basis, which puts the documented justification on the employer.
