HR Department, Government Offices of Sweden

Are you looking for an opportunity to build on your recruitment skills while contributing to an organization that makes a difference in society? We are seeking two recruiters with an interest in workforce supply and HR, who want to develop within the public recruitment process in a supportive and operational role.

You will work according to a competency-based methodology and manage several recruitment processes simultaneously. The pace can vary and conditions can change quickly – therefore, we are looking for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment where collaboration, flexibility, and structure are key to success. With us, you will work closely with experienced colleagues and grow in your role in a meaningful and dynamic context.

Your workday. Sweden's tomorrow.

With us, you will have the opportunity to develop throughout the entire recruitment process with support from experienced colleagues. You will gain insight into how public recruitment works in practice and work operationally with several processes at the same time.

This means, for example, that you will:

• support managers in initiating recruitments, including needs analysis and developing job specifications
• design and publish advertisements in our recruitment system ReachMee
• assess and select applications
• schedule and participate in interviews alongside managers
• communicate with candidates throughout the process
• handle reference checks, documentation, and decision-making materials
• participate in security assessments
• assist with work samples or tests when applicable

You will work in a recruitment team where knowledge sharing, learning, and collaboration are the focus. The role is operational and designed to give you the opportunity to gradually grow into more complex tasks, depending on needs and experience. The work takes place in a public context and may include elements related to security-classified positions.
