"This is a unique procurement in many ways and it hits both the heart and the brain of us at We Select. The brains because in terms of size it is a direct confirmation that we are right in our long-term commitment to technology and innovation, combined with our excellence in social media. The heart because we know what a huge challenge the region is facing. The shortage of skills that our society needs to function has never been greater, with the healthcare sector standing out and needing all the help they can get. The region's cause is simply ours in the job of over time building strong employer brands and attracting the best to apply. It won't be easy, but we'll get there, that's just the way it is." - Rickard Rydström, CEO & Co-founder of We Select
