The most common website that is used to search for jobs available is finn.no

Keep in mind that outsourcing is not common in Norway like other countries unless you have special qualifications that they need (example: engineers for oil or maritime companies but it's still a tough competition).

From what I have observed hotels and restaurants here hires local or foreigners living here already easily with or without degrees for certain positions like housekeeping, waiting, or in the reception. As mentioned they hire locals or foreigners that is already holding working permits.

If you are already in Norway you can do a walk in application and hand out your CV to hotels/restaurant even if they don't have a posted job opening, I know many people who successfully got hired by doing this.
