Atlas Professionals targets Norwegian market with new appointment

Dutch provider of recruitment and HR services Atlas Professionals has named its new business manager for Norway.

Atlas said on Thursday that Sushil Hovstad Sitaula would assume his duties as business manager for Norway on December 1.

He will be based in Stavanger and will be responsible for serving the Norwegian oil & gas sector and projects with specialist recruitment and HR services.

The company added that it has an intention of increasing its focus on the Norwegian market. That statement by the company is consistent with some of the recent personnel recruitment contracts awarded to Atlas on the Norwegian Continental Shelf by Total and Det norske, now Aker BP.

Sushil, born and raised in Nepal, has been living and working in Norway since 1998. Atlas said that he has a thorough knowledge of the Norwegian oil and gas market and that he has already worked with HR and consultancy agencies, such as FinnPersonal, Norwegian Petroleum Consultants, and Dovre Group.

The soon to be head of Atlas’ Norwegian business, Sitaula, said: “I am grateful and humbled to be chosen to be part of Atlas in Norway and the responsibility given to lead. I will be joining Atlas and together with the team exploit the opportunity in the market and make the presence of our people and services felt and delivered with excellence.”
