If you are the right guy, with the correct attitude and skills, they will hire you without any typerating at all. Scandipilots with 1000 hrs+ can expect interview.
In the future, we will most likely see SAS recruiting lowtimers straight out of flightschools, due to the relative high number of pilots retiring the next 10+ years.
The future is already here as they are taking a bunch of guys straight out of flight school (and not only Ryanair flight school). Be aware if you are seeking job in Scandiland, they have already hired 300 new pilots since 2013 so the way to the right seat is a long one. I believe it will be direct entry captains before the newest pilots gets their upgrade due to the low level of experience of the pilots joining now. But that is still at least 5-10 years away and only a good guess of mine as they are quite commited to the senority list as of now.
