About Independent Consultants
We are a fast-growing community of independent IT consultants in Norway. Since 2015, our core team has worked on brokering assignments and consultants across both the private and public sectors. Over the past year, we have published more than 200 IT assignments in the public sector.
What's in it for you?
A wide selection of assignments
Through our framework agreements, we receive and publish between 10 and 15 new assignments a week – so you always have relevant opportunities to choose from.
Fewer worries, more peace of mind
We ensure a steady flow of assignments and help you navigate public-sector requirements, accounting obligations and other responsibilities that can feel heavy to shoulder alone. Through close dialogue and advice, we make the transition to your next assignment easier, so you get continuity in your work and can concentrate on what you do best. We're there when you need us.

Community
More than just assignments
Discord community
As a member, you get access to our active Discord, where consultants share experiences, advise each other on everything from rate negotiations to tax questions, and tip each other off about upcoming assignments before they're advertised. Open around the clock and completely informal.
Meetups throughout the year
We host professional meetups regularly — everything from short lightning-talk evenings about a specific technology to longer workshops on contract negotiation and the finances of being self-employed. You choose what suits you.
Annual gatherings
Once a year, we bring the whole consultant network together for a larger gathering with professional content, a social programme and a shared dinner. This is where you get to know the people behind the screens and build relationships that last beyond individual assignments.
