Why Sweden?
Sweden is home to global tech, industrial and design companies, with a work culture built on balance, equality and reasonable hours. English is widespread and many development teams use it every day.
Stockholm leads in startups, fintech and gaming; Gothenburg in automotive and engineering; and Malmö shares a job market with Copenhagen across the bridge.
Work permits in Sweden
Non-EU candidates need an offer with terms in line with collective agreements and a salary above a set minimum; the employer then applies through the Swedish Migration Agency. The EU Blue Card is also an option for graduates.
Processing can take time, so start early and focus on companies with experience hiring internationally.
How to apply successfully
Swedish employers prefer short CVs and honest personal letters that show teamwork and independence. Modesty and measurable results make a better impression than overstatement.
Learning basic Swedish through the free SFI programme after arrival helps integration and promotion, even if your job runs in English.
How Joby helps, step by step
First, upload your CV as PDF or DOCX. Joby analyses your experience, skills and languages and picks suitable roles automatically — no long questionnaires.
Second, Joby searches real European job sources and shows each role with a match score, a clear reason why it fits and what your CV is missing. No fake listings, no expired jobs.
Third, you review before anything is sent: an English cover letter written from your real experience with an Arabic translation, and form answers ready. After your approval Joby opens the company's official form and fills it in.
Transparent tracking for every application
Every application appears in your dashboard with its real status: ready, applied, viewed, interview or rejected. An application only counts as sent — and credit is only used — after the company confirms it, with a screenshot as proof.
You always know where you applied, when and on which platform, so you can focus on preparing for interviews instead of filling the same forms again.
Tips to succeed
Write your CV in clear European format: one or two pages, achievements with numbers and precise language levels (A1 to C2). Add a short case study with your real numbers for your most important role.
Apply to a sensible number of well-matched roles each day rather than hundreds of random ones — high match scores bring more replies. Joby spreads your applications across days automatically based on your plan.
- Real jobs only
- Match score for every role
- Official forms filled
- Credit used only after confirmation
