Hiring in Sweden

Swedish tech (Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö) runs primarily in English at the major scale-ups — Spotify, Klarna, King, Northvolt — and at the Swedish digital divisions of multinationals. Swedish CVs follow the modern European convention: 1–2 pages, no photo (Sweden was one of the earlier EU markets to drop the photo norm), reverse-chronological, with a brief summary on top.

The Skilled Worker permit is the standard route for non-EU candidates, with a fast-track for tech roles meeting the salary threshold. Personnummer status is a real factor in long-term hiring — surface your status (citizen / PR / work permit / Coordination number) at the top of the CV to save the recruiter a screening message.

Salary thresholds and visa rules above reflect publicly available figures as of 2026 and may change. Always confirm with the official authority — www.migrationsverket.se — before applying or making relocation decisions.

Sweden-specific CV conventions

Three things that move the needle when applying in Sweden — most foreign candidates miss at least one.

1

One to two pages, no photo. Swedish recruiters expect modern European format.

2

Tech operates in English; traditional industries and the public sector expect Swedish.

3

Surface Personnummer status (citizen / PR / work permit) in the header — saves a screening DM.
