We Offer

We offer a versatile role for those who want to work both operationally and strategically within HR. You will be involved in developing our working methods and achieving results together with managers and HR colleagues. The role provides you with ample opportunity to drive improvements – both in recruitment and in other HR processes.

Our vision is to be Sweden's most attractive state employer. To achieve this, we offer you, among other things, good opportunities for professional development, generous wellness benefits, and a wide range of employee activities. We are located in modern premises in central Stockholm and have an open, innovative, and collaborative culture. Feel free to read more about us and our employer offerings here.

Role Description

As an HR partner, you will work as a generalist, but with recruitment as your main area of expertise. Approximately 50% of your working time will be dedicated to recruitment, where you support managers throughout the process – from requirement profiles and advertising to selection, interviews, testing, and reference checks.

As part of our HR team, we work closely together and share a common responsibility for driving and developing HR work. We collaborate on various areas, and the division of labor may vary over time. Therefore, you will both contribute your expertise and benefit from others, which provides a varied and developing everyday life. You will also contribute to the development of our HR processes, for example, in occupational health and collaboration. Together, we work towards a sustainable and modern HR function. The role requires you to switch between analysis, advice, and practical work.
