English term or phrase: Professional
I am struggling to find an appropriate translation for the word professional. My suggestions are "yrkespersoner" and "fagpersoner". Looking for better suggestions that would encompass more of the meaning.

In this context as a noun:

"Get connected with professionals around the country to find the best candidate for the job."

Also in this context as an adjective:

"Create a professional job profile."

Thanks!

Fagfolk
Explanation:
I den første sammenhengen tror jeg fagfolk/fagpersoner vil fungere greit.

I sammenhengen "Get a professional job profile" ville jeg bare gått for "profesjonell" - "Få en profesjonell jobb-profil"

Tror jeg heller mot fagperson siden ordet person er brukt ellers i teksten. Takk for alle innspill.
