Recruitment & HR Support

Building your Swedish team – the right way from the start

Finding and retaining the right talent is one of the most critical factors for business success in Sweden. Our Recruitment & HR Support service is designed to help international companies attract skilled professionals, ensure smooth hiring processes, and build teams that perform from day one.
We work closely with you to understand your company’s goals, culture, and staffing needs, then manage the full recruitment process — from defining roles and creating compelling job postings to screening candidates, conducting interviews, and facilitating job offers. Our approach combines local market knowledge with proven recruitment strategies, ensuring you hire not just qualified candidates, but the right cultural fit for your organization.
Beyond recruitment, we provide comprehensive HR support tailored to the Swedish business environment. This includes onboarding programs that help new hires integrate quickly, development of HR policies that meet Swedish labor laws and collective agreements, and ongoing advisory services covering everything from employee relations to workplace culture. Our goal is to give you a high-performing team and a compliant, people-focused HR foundation that supports long-term growth.

Workforce Planning & Role Definition

We work with you to forecast staffing needs based on your business goals, market entry timeline, and growth projections. Each role is strategically defined to ensure the right balance of technical expertise, cultural fit, and long-term potential within the Swedish labor market.

Job Description & Posting Creation

Our team develops job descriptions that go beyond listing tasks — we position your company as an attractive employer in Sweden. Postings are optimized for the most effective channels, from leading job boards to industry-specific platforms and professional networks.

Candidate Sourcing & Screening

Using a combination of our local network, targeted advertising, and proactive headhunting, we identify high-quality candidates. Every applicant is screened not only for qualifications but also for alignment with your company values and the expectations of Swedish workplace culture.

Interview Coordination & Support

We coordinate every step of the interview process, from scheduling to providing structured, competency-based questions. If needed, we participate in interviews to help assess candidates’ suitability and advise on local hiring practices.

Employment Contract Drafting

We draft or review contracts to ensure they comply with Swedish labor law, collective bargaining agreements, and industry-specific requirements. We also include best-practice clauses for clarity, fairness, and future-proofing.

Onboarding & Integration Programs

Our onboarding frameworks help new hires feel welcome, understand your business culture, and adapt quickly to Swedish workplace norms. This accelerates productivity and strengthens retention from day one.

HR Policy Development

We create or update HR policies covering employee benefits, leave, working hours, health and safety, remote work guidelines, and more — all aligned with Swedish legislation and market expectations.

Employee Relations Support
