Recruitment agency for specialists and managers across Sweden

Recruitment agency

Recruitment that matches both skills and culture

Oddwork is the Nordics’ only combined recruitment and employer branding agency, named Recruitment Company of the Year in Sweden. Since 2012 we have completed thousands of recruitments for employers across Sweden, from growing tech companies to Saab, OBOS and Forsman & Bodenfors.

We match not only skills but also personality and company culture, which leads to hires that last.

How we can help

• Recruitment: we handle the whole process, from job profile to signed contract.
• Headhunting and executive search: we reach candidates who are not actively looking, for leadership and key roles.
• Recruit-to-hire and interim: we employ the candidate for an agreed period before you take over the employment.
• Consultant staffing: we provide specialists on an ongoing basis when you need extra capacity for a period, without hiring yourself.
• Recruitment consultant: one of our recruiters joins your organisation and runs several recruitments on site.
• Personality assessments and talent development: tests for selection, coaching and development reviews.
• Recruitment marketing: ads and campaigns on social media that reach passive candidates too.

Specialist areas

We are known for recruiting in finance, sales, marketing, communications, HR and IT/tech, and over the years we have recruited in most industries. We recruit across Sweden, with offices in Stockholm and Gothenburg.

The process

Our recruitment process step by step

1. Job profile: we define the role, the skills and the personality that fits the team and culture.
2. Advertising and headhunting: our copywriters write the ad, and we reach candidates on social media, on Indeed and through active headhunting.
3. Screening and interviews: we screen, interview and run personality and skills assessments.
4. Shortlist: you meet a short list of candidates we stand behind.
5. References and offer: we check references and support you through negotiation and offer.
6. Contract and follow-up: we follow up after the start, and every recruitment comes with a guarantee.

How long it takes depends on the role. Two examples: Recab had a signed contract after 39 days, and Forsman & Bodenfors had a finance hire in place within 24 hours.

What makes us different

We are also an employer branding agency. That means:

• Your ads are written by copywriters who know what makes the right candidates apply.
• We reach beyond active job seekers through AI-driven social advertising with Adway and our partnership with Indeed, the world’s largest job site.
• Candidates meet the real you through employee video and a clear story about why they should choose you.
• The candidate experience strengthens your employer brand, even among those who don’t get the job.
