Local expertise

What Swedish employers expect

Not generic advice — this is what Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö recruiters screen for.

Lagom is law

1-2 pages, clear structure, zero fluff. Swedish recruiters value balanced, functional CVs that respect their time.

Language levels matter

State Swedish and English proficiency clearly. For international companies, English is assumed — Swedish is the differentiator.

Flat culture, team outcomes

Sweden's work culture is collaborative. Show what you achieved WITH teams, not just what you directed.

Personnummer stays off

Modern Swedish CVs skip the personal number. Focus on skills, outcomes, and role fit.
