Did you know that in Norway, more than 700,000 people are currently outside the workforce?
Many of them want to contribute. They want to work, grow, and be part of something meaningful but they don’t always fit into the traditional 9–4, five-days-a-week structure.
Some face physical or mental health challenges. Others need flexibility because of their life situation, background, or personal journey. Some have skills and experience that simply don’t match standard job descriptions even though they have so much to offer.
Yet these individuals carry enormous value, experience, skills, and potential. They just need an opportunity on their own terms and a system that sees their strengths instead of their limitations.
By opening doors and creating more inclusive pathways into work, we can unlock talent that is often overlooked and build a labour market that works for more people.
HeiPetter -Built From Experience, Driven by Purpose
HeiPetter is a universe created by Petter a talent himself.
Petter is a resourceful and creative person who has spent most of his adult life outside the workforce because of personal challenges and his experiences navigating the system. Instead of letting that define him, he chose to turn his experience into action.
He built a platform designed to help others in similar situations and partnered with Kilowott, a digital transformation company headquartered in Norway, to bring that vision to life through technology and design.
A platform where people can find jobs and where companies can find talent regardless of background, life circumstances, or location. You can read more about Kilowott’s work on the HeiPetter project here.
It’s about building a bridge between talent and employers. In a way that actually works for both.
Our Approach
HeiPetter aims to be the preferred knowledge and recruitment platform where:
- People easily find jobs
- Jobs easily find people
- Talent meets employers without unnecessary barriers
1. Businesses Meet Hidden Talent
Companies gain direct access to people with skills, motivation, and lived experience individuals who might otherwise be overlooked. Kilowott’s web and platform development expertise makes this connection seamless and scalable.
2. Recruitment on the Talent’s Terms
The hiring process should adapt to the person not force people into a rigid structure. This approach opens doors for more individuals to re-enter the workforce. Platforms like VRS, built by Kilowott, demonstrate how smart digital tools can transform workforce management and scheduling to fit real human needs.
3. Social Responsibility- In a Simple and Meaningful Way
Businesses can take active responsibility for inclusion and diversity without complicated processes or heavy bureaucracy. Kilowott’s consulting and strategy services help organisations navigate exactly these kinds of challenges with practical, actionable guidance.
4. Reducing Exclusion- Step by Step
Our goal is to reduce unemployment and social exclusion in a simple, inclusive, and human way. Kilowott’s team upskilling and talent development model further supports this mission helping people build capabilities that match real market needs.
Opening Doors to Hidden Talent
We make it easier for people and talent to connect directly and in a fair way.
HeiPetter is not just Petter’s idea it’s a platform for everyone to find their place and reach their potential. This is about more than jobs. It’s about inclusion, value, and believing that everyone has something meaningful to contribute. Our goal is simple: to design and develope a platform that creates more opportunities and open more doors for people who want to work and participate.
The platform was designed and developed as a cutting-edge, accessible solution from concept to launch. Built in phased iterations, it focused on continuous improvement and delivering a seamless user experience.
We streamlined the user journey, improved usability, and optimized workflows for both job seekers and businesses.
Key features empower talent to showcase their skills while helping companies access untapped potential. The result is an intuitive and inclusive platform that supports meaningful connections.
The Impact
This project is more than just building a platform it’s about creating real opportunities for people who are often overlooked.
By bringing visibility to hidden talent and making the hiring process more inclusive, HeiPetter helps individuals re-enter the workforce with confidence and dignity.
At the same time, businesses gain access to a broader and more diverse talent pool.
The impact goes beyond numbers every meaningful connection creates real change. Through this collaboration, a vision was turned into a functional platform that supports long-term social impact, one connection at a time.
We help brands and agencies turn ideas into meaningful digital experiences that create real impact, drive growth, and make a lasting difference in the markets and communities they serve.
