The result is a calmer, more predictable everyday life – for nurseries, temps and consultants alike:
Christine can report that each consultant now helps more than twice as many temps into work and responds to more than twice as many client enquiries. At the same time, they have more time to follow up with temps and to optimise their everyday work — where they thrive, where they fit best, and where they have the shortest travel distance.
“We have put manual processes behind us. Now we have one shared digital workflow in Globus. Repetitive steps are automated, and we can spend more time on personal follow-up,” says Christine.
“Nurseries can now have 24/7 self-service, our temps get predictable working days and instant responses, and our whole staffing team has taken a step up,” she adds.
Acapedia was established as a challenger in a market where everyday life is characterised by manual processes and high pressure on staffing consultants.
From the very beginning, the goal was to be the most service-minded agency and to be known for attracting positive and skilled nursery staff. They wanted to be the most accessible agency and to ensure the closest possible follow-up of both temps and clients.
This was not going to be solved by working longer days, but by working smarter and having the best, holistic solutions.
“It was important for us to keep the closeness to clients and candidates, and to have more time for personal follow-up. We follow up with good conversations and human communication and problem-solving where it matters, and use seamless digital solutions as tools where they can help and relieve us.”
Clients need help early and late, and it is difficult for staffing consultants to make the day add up and still manage to solve all needs. The solution was more structure, easier collaboration and more automation with the Globus.ai staffing platform.
Acapedia has an ambitious challenger culture. There is a burning desire to help more great people into the right jobs, and to contribute to solving the demanding staffing reality in Norwegian nurseries.
When Globus.ai was introduced in 2021, there was no lack of effort, skilled people or hours put into the work. But there was clear potential in improving structure and systems, and in relieving employees in a workday with many repetitive tasks and a high level of stress.
The combination of talented and curious employees, a winning work culture and market-leading technology has delivered results. In March 2021, Acapedia implemented Globus.ai, and this has been a turning point in a tough market.
The results speak for themselves. By 2025, Acapedia can see that:
With Globus.ai, many of the recurring tasks in Acapedia’s day-to-day work are now automated:
This has created a much better balance between work and free time, with a platform that is accessible from everywhere. In addition, nurseries now have access to self-service and can collaborate directly with staffing consultants in the Globus platform. This means that needs outside normal opening hours can be solved directly between nursery and temp, without having to depend on a consultant being available. This is good for the stress levels of managers and pedagogical staff, simple for the temps and creates a new and manageable everyday life for those responsible for staffing.
Nursery leaders no longer have to wait in suspense or worry through the weekend to know whether someone will show up on Monday. They can simply log in and see which temps are available.
Increased capacity gives more jobs and a more predictable workday for temps. It is easy for them to update their availability, respond to job requests with just a few taps on their phone while on the move and request more assignments. Preferences and proximity to the workplace (location and travel time) are automatically taken into account by the system. When work experience from specific nurseries is also considered, it creates more continuity in the working day — which is good for the children, for the social environment at the workplace, and for the temps’ sense of security, calm and confidence.
Q: What is Globus.ai in simple terms?
A: Globus.ai is an AI-powered staffing platform that helps you use your existing candidate database much more effectively. It supports consultants with tasks like understanding incoming requests, finding suitable candidates, sending out job requests and tracking responses – so they spend less time on repetitive admin and more time talking to clients and candidates.
Q: How does Globus.ai work with our existing systems?
A: Globus.ai is built to sit alongside your current ATS and tools, not replace everything you already use. It connects to your existing data, structures it and makes it searchable in a smarter way, so consultants don’t have to jump between inboxes, spreadsheets and different systems to get a complete picture. Most customers keep their ATS as the “system of record” and use Globus.ai as the intelligent workflow layer on top.
Q: Will AI replace our consultants?
A: No. Globus.ai is designed to support consultants, not replace them. The AI helps with matching, availability checks, messaging and other repetitive steps, but consultants still decide who to propose, who to book and how to follow up. In practice, the system does the heavy lifting in the background, while consultants use their time and judgement where human contact and experience matter most.
Q: How quickly can we expect to see value after implementation?
A: Most customers start seeing value within weeks, not months. Once data is connected and key workflows are set up, consultants can begin using AI search, automated outreach and structured workflows in their day-to-day work. Over time, the platform also learns from your usage patterns, so suggestions and matches become even more relevant.
Q: How does Globus.ai handle data security and privacy?
A: Globus.ai is built with security and privacy as core requirements. Data is handled in line with strict regulatory standards, including GDPR for European customers, and access can be configured so that only authorised users see specific information. The goal is to help you get more value out of the data you already have, without compromising on compliance or trust.
