Hold a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science (or equivalent practical experience)

Our take

Appical is an onboarding platform supporting employees through all phases of the employment process. It empowers users to create the best possible employee onboarding experiences through how-to videos, gamification, quizzes, to-do lists, and documentation.

A leader in onboarding tech, the company is both digitising and simplifying the process. It has served hundreds of customers in over 140 countries, including the like of PepsiCo, HP, Heineken, Hello Fresh and Bosch.

In 2022, Appical was acquired by Visma, a Norwegian company providing business software and services for accounting and administration. With Visma's products being complimentary to Appical's platform, the two companies are in a position of great value within the European market.
