Available Jobs

Swedish Public Employment Service
A good first step is to visit the Swedish Public Employment Service’s job portal, Platsbanken. This is Sweden’s official job-search platform, where vacancies from both the private and public sectors are advertised. The portal provides a clear overview of current job opportunities and labour market needs across the country.

Alternative channels
In addition to the Public Employment Service, there are several other effective ways to find employment in Sweden. Companies’ own websites are often an important channel, as many employers publish job openings directly on their career pages -especially within industry and the private sector. Networking and personal contacts play a significant role in the Swedish labour market.

Informal contacts
Many positions are filled through recommendations or informal contacts. Reaching out to people in your professional network or contacting companies directly can therefore be a very effective approach. LinkedIn is also an increasingly important tool for international jobseekers. It allows you to search for jobs, follow companies, showcase your skills and experience, and build professional connections.

Linkedin
Many Swedish employers actively use LinkedIn both to advertise vacancies and to identify potential candidates.

Another option is to work with recruitment agencies and staffing companies. This can be particularly helpful if you are new to the Swedish labour market, looking to change careers, or interested in project-based or consultancy work.

Unsolicited applications
Finally, unsolicited applications are appreciated in Sweden. By contacting companies even when they are not actively recruiting, you can demonstrate initiative and create opportunities for future employment. Together, these different paths offer strong opportunities to find a job in Sweden that matches your skills, experience, and career goals.
