About us
We have worked for a safer working life since 2009
Semac was established in 2009 with a clear purpose: to create safer workplaces through secure processes, solid documentation and strong professional assessments throughout the hiring lifecycle.
Since then, we have grown into a leading provider of personnel security, background checks, digital reference checks, and security and emergency preparedness services. Our role is to give organisations a decision-making foundation they can trust, and a level of security that protects employees, assets and reputation.
In 2023, Semac became part of the investment company Hawk Infinity. This provides a solid foundation for further development of technology, methodology and services that make everyday life safer for both employers and employees.
Our role and our responsibility
We believe that safe working conditions are created when processes, technology and people work together. That is why we combine:
- expertise from security, intelligence and HR
- technology and tools that provide precise and predictable insight
- processes that follow laws, regulations and best practice
For candidates, it means just as much: fair and professional treatment.
Vision and values
Vision: A safer employment relationship
Everything we do – every assessment, every conversation and every delivery – must contribute to safety for people and organisations. This is reflected in our four core values:
E – Engagement(Engasjement)
We care about our employees, the people we work with and the organisations we support.
K – Competence(Kompetanse)
We develop our knowledge continuously and share it with our customers.
T – Trustworthiness(Troverdighet)
We deliver facts, not assumptions. Our advice must withstand scrutiny.
E – Compliance(Etterlevelse)
We follow laws, regulations and accepted standards – always.
Together, the values form the Norwegian word EKTE (“genuine”). It describes not only how we work, but who we strive to be.
