The problem

Searching for an English-speaking job in Sweden mostly means reading Swedish.

Tens of thousands of ads

Most in Swedish, spread across Platsbanken, LinkedIn and thousands of career pages. The English-friendly ones are in there, unmarked. Right now 215 live ads are written in Swedish for a role that works in English.

Sponsorship is never a filter

No board lets you filter by “hires internationals” or “sponsors permits”. You find out at the end of the process, not the start. Right now 411 live ads say you must already hold the right to work. We mark every one before it reaches you.

Web forms eat applications

The candidates who get answers reach a human. The recruiter’s name and direct email are usually in the ad, if you read all of them.

We crawl company career pages directly, including roles that never reach LinkedIn or Platsbanken, and read every new ad, every day.

Job boards vs. us

Two hundred applicants in an hour is not a job search.

LinkedIn, Indeed, Platsbanken

  • No: “Posted 1 hour ago · over 200 applicants.”
  • No: Most ads in Swedish. The English-friendly ones are in there, unmarked.
  • No: No filter for “sponsors work permits” — you find out at the end.
  • No: A web form eats your application. Nobody writes back.
  • No: Roles on company career pages never show up at all.

Why EnglishJobsSweden

We don’t send you a feed. We do the reading.

Advantage 01

The right roles, read by hand

No wading through hundreds of ads. We read every one for English-friendliness, sponsorship signals and any stated salary, so you only see the three to five that fit.

Advantage 02

Jobs that never hit the boards

We crawl company career pages directly, where plenty of roles quietly appear and disappear without ever reaching Platsbanken or LinkedIn. The counter above is how many we are holding right now.

Advantage 03

A draft ready to send

Every match comes with why you fit and an outreach draft to the hiring team, in English and Swedish, so applying takes minutes rather than evenings.

Candidate first

Built for you, not for recruiters

You’re the customer, rather than employers or agencies. That’s the only way we can honestly be on your side.

We built this in Stockholm after watching friends move here and wade through job boards in a language they don’t speak yet. Every ad is read for what actually matters to you: does the team work in English, will they sponsor, what does the role really pay.

  • Hard delete anytime, because your data is yours
  • Public data sources, linked to the original ad

The Swedish CV

Most CVs don’t get rejected.
They get skipped.

A Swedish recruiter gives a CV twenty to thirty seconds. Ask them why internationals go silent after applying and the answer is rarely a skill gap. It’s usually a CV that wasn’t tailored to the role, in a format they don’t expect. Swedish CVs are their own dialect, and most international CVs get the basics wrong:

  • Work experience above education, the single most repeated correction Swedish recruiters make on international CVs
  • CEFR language levels, where an honest “Swedish A2” beats “basic Swedish” every time
  • One to two pages, no photo, no personnummer, because decorated templates read as noise rather than effort
  • Retailored per application, with the summary rewritten against each ad instead of one CV blasted everywhere

Our builder does all of it in one click per job: upload your CV once, and for any role we show you it reorders your experience, rewrites the summary against that exact ad, adds a Swedish personligt brev, and tells you honestly what the ad asks for that your CV doesn’t show. It never invents a word.

Questions

Before you sign up

How is this different from LinkedIn or Platsbanken alerts?

Those send you a feed and let you filter it. We read every ad and send three to five that fit, with the reason why. We also cover roughly 3 000 company career pages, where plenty of jobs never reach the big boards — and every ad is read for English-friendliness and sponsorship signals, which no keyword filter can do for you.

What does “Sponsors permits” actually mean?

It is a signal we read from the ad text — wording about work permits, relocation, or visa support. It is not a promise from the employer. We show the badge when the ad says so and stay quiet when the ad is silent. Confirm with the company before you count on it.

I don’t speak Swedish — is this for me?

Yes — that is the point of it. You can filter to ads that don’t require Swedish, and every match is checked for whether the team actually works in English rather than just saying so.

Do you cover jobs in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö for English speakers?

Yes. We track English-speaking jobs across Sweden — including IT jobs for foreigners who don’t speak Swedish yet. Browse live counts and examples for Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö, or by role like backend and data engineering.

Where does the data come from?

Arbetsförmedlingen’s open JobTech APIs and public company career pages, refreshed daily. Public sources only, fetched at a polite rate, and every match links to the original ad — you always apply at the source.

What do you store about me?

Your email and the preferences you set. Nothing else. Every email carries a one-click unsubscribe, and you can delete everything at any time — a hard delete, not a flag on a row. The detail is in the privacy note.
