Do I need to obtain a visa to look for a job in Schengen area for citizens of foreign nation which are not required visa to enter the area?

I live in Georgia and visa is not required for Georgian citizens to visit Schengen area up to 90 days in period of 180 days.

Last year I visited 5 counties in EU including Norway, I was fascinated by Norway's cold, harsh climate and nature. (It may be unusual but I like cold weather).

As a website developer I intend to go to Norway and look for a job there but I wonder, Am I required to hold a visa to look for a job?
