In today’s premium Swedish logistics economy driven by H&M and IKEA global retail leadership headquartered in Sweden, Volvo Cars (Geely) and Volvo Group (trucks) automotive manufacturing leadership, Port of Gothenburg as Scandinavia’s largest port, Spotify and Ericsson tech logistics, growing e-commerce sector via Instabox, Budbee, and Apotea, and Sweden’s strategic position as a Nordic logistics gateway with full EU/Schengen integration, the right warehouse team makes the difference between meeting fulfilment targets and losing customers to faster competitors. We connect Swedish employers with skilled warehouse operatives (lagerarbetare), forklift drivers (truckförare), order pickers, voice pickers, packers, stock controllers, inventory specialists, goods-in operatives, dispatch operatives, yard operatives, warehouse supervisors, and senior logistics managers who deliver reliable productivity and Swedish health and safety compliance (Arbetsmiljölagen — Work Environment Act) from day one.
Whether you need one forklift driver for a Stockholm distribution centre or a complete warehouse crew for a Gothenburg Volvo logistics hub, AtoZ Serwis Plus delivers reliable, compliant, and scalable Swedish warehouse recruitment solutions tailored to your logistics business goals.
Sweden is facing a major talent shortage in warehouse operations, logistics, supply chain, and the wider distribution sector. With Sweden’s population of 10.6 million ageing, low unemployment, and the rapid expansion of the logistics sector driven by e-commerce growth and Nordic supply chain demands, the country’s domestic workforce cannot keep pace with growing demand. Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, Uppsala, Linköping, Norrköping, Örebro, Västerås, Helsingborg, Jönköping, and the major Swedish motorway logistics corridors continue to drive significant demand for warehouse workers as Sweden’s role as a Nordic logistics gateway intensifies and same-day delivery expectations become standard.
Industry research suggests that Sweden’s logistics and warehouse sector will face acute shortages of skilled warehouse operatives, forklift drivers, and supply chain workers through 2030. The gap is most pronounced for forklift drivers (truckförare), order pickers, e-commerce fulfilment specialists, cold storage operatives, port handlers (Gothenburg is Scandinavia’s largest port), GDP-certified pharmaceutical warehouse operatives (Apotek Hjärtat, Apoteket, Apotea, Tamro Sweden), automotive supply chain workers (Volvo Cars, Volvo Group, Scania), and warehouse supervisors, where reliable workforce supply is essential to maintain Swedish delivery standards and Nordic supply chain continuity.
This shortage creates real challenges for Swedish employers. Stockholm warehouses sit understaffed across the Greater Stockholm logistics belt. Gothenburg distribution centres struggle to handle Volvo's automotive supply chains and the Port of Gothenburg's container volumes. Malmö logistics hubs face shortages serving the Skåne region and the Öresund Bridge corridor to Denmark. Helsingborg struggles with Danish border logistics. Jönköping struggles with central Swedish distribution. Sweden’s ageing workforce and tight labour market have forced large logistics companies like PostNord Sverige, DHL Sweden, DB Schenker, Kuehne+Nagel, Bring Sweden, ICA, Coop, Axfood, H&M Group, IKEA, Volvo Cars, Volvo Group, Scania, and hundreds of smaller operators to look beyond Swedish borders — particularly recruiting from Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Romania, and increasingly Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, the Philippines, and other Asian countries via work permit sponsorship.
That is why more Swedish logistics companies are partnering with specialised warehouse recruitment agencies in Sweden, such as AtoZ Serwis Plus. We bring speed, expertise, screening capability, and global reach that internal HR teams cannot easily match, especially when navigating Swedish work permits (arbetstillstånd) via Migrationsverket (Swedish Migration Agency), EU Blue Card processing, and Type D long-stay visa pathways for non-EU/EEA nationals.
We are a focused warehouse hiring company in Sweden, working exclusively with warehouse operatives, forklift drivers, order pickers, supply chain professionals, and logistics services roles. Our recruiters genuinely understand the differences among a lagerarbetare (warehouse operative), a truckförare (forklift driver with truckkort/TLP certification), a reach truck operator (skjutstativstruckförare), a VNA driver, a pallet truck operator (palettlyftare), an order picker (orderplockare), a voice picker, a packer (packare), a stock controller (lagerförvaltare), a goods-in operative (godsmottagare), a dispatch operative (utlastare), a yard operative, and a warehouse supervisor (lagerchef / arbetsledare).
This deep specialisation enables us to evaluate candidates with precision and match them to your Swedish logistics operation needs.
We do not just send CVs We work as your strategic talent partner, understanding your Swedish distribution centre or fulfilment hub operation, evaluating candidates against real-world warehouse criteria, and delivering warehouse workers who match both your productivity standards and your logistics culture.
Hiring warehouse workers internally takes time, money, and specialised logistics knowledge that most HR teams lack. Working with a professional warehouse recruitment agency brings clear advantages.
We maintain a global database of qualified candidates already screened for warehouse experience, forklift licences (truckkort A1-A4, B1-B4, C1-C4, D1-D2 per TYA/TLP standards), physical fitness, order picking productivity, stock control knowledge, language ability (Swedish preferred — basic Swedish valued for most warehouse roles, English commonly accepted in international logistics multinationals, Norwegian/Danish mutually intelligible), Swedish work permit eligibility, and cultural fit for Swedish logistics. You skip the slow sourcing phase and move straight to interviewing the strongest warehouse profiles ready for Swedish deployment.
High-turnover warehouse roles need to be filled quickly to meet e-commerce fulfilment targets and maintain continuity in the olvo/IKEA supply chain. Our focused process typically reduces hiring timelines to 4-8 weeks (accounting for Migrationsverket processing), allowing Stockholm distribution centres, Gothenburg Volvo and port operations, Malmö Skåne logistics, Helsingborg Danish border operations, and Jönköping central Swedish distribution to maintain capacity without operational disruption.
Bad hires damage productivity metrics, cause forklift accidents, fail inventory audits, and increase warehouse insurance claims. Our deep screening, truck driver verification, physical fitness assessment, warehouse experience checks, and reference verification dramatically reduce the risk of a wrong hire in your logistics operation.
When you factor in HR time, job board fees, internal interview hours, arbetstillstånd applications, Arbetsförmedlingen (Swedish Public Employment Service) coordination, and the cost of high warehouse staff turnover, working with a warehouse recruitment agency often saves money compared to hiring alone.
Hiring international warehouse workers in Sweden involves arbetstillstånd (work permit) processing via Migrationsverket (Swedish Migration Agency), EU Blue Card applications, Type D long-stay visa coordination, GDPR, Arbetsmiljölagen compliance, Lag om anställningsskydd (LAS) employment protection compliance, kollektivavtal (collective bargaining agreements covering 90% of the Swedish workforce — Sweden has no statutory minimum wage; all wages are set through sectoral kollektivavtal), Skatteverket (Swedish Tax Agency) registration, manual handling regulations, working at height regulations, and Swedish warehouse safety standards. We handle all of this professionally, protecting your logistics business from compliance risks and penalties.
We share Swedish warehouse wage benchmarks (no statutory minimum wage — Sweden uses sectoral kollektivavtal covering approximately 90% of workforce, warehousing and logistics minimum starting salaries under current kollektivavtal approximately SEK 28,000-29,000/month for adults without formal qualifications, average warehouse worker gross salary SEK 380,021/year (~€33,000 — equivalent to SEK 183/hour) per SalaryExpert, Stockholm premium SEK 407,303/year (~SEK 196/hour), entry-level (1-3 years experience) SEK 292,103, senior (8+ years) SEK 451,292, average national gross monthly salary SEK 37,000-44,000 (~$3,500-$4,200) per Statistics Sweden, median SEK 36,500, Stockholm averaging SEK 40,000, arbetsgivaravgifter (employer social contributions) 31.42% on top of gross wages — with reduced 20.81% rate for workers aged 19-23 effective April 1 2026 to September 30 2027, employees pay almost no social security, municipal income tax averaging 32% plus state tax for higher earners, semester (paid holiday) 25 days minimum), logistics market trends, competitive intelligence, and emerging skill demands that help you make smarter hiring and compensation decisions across the Swedish warehouse landscape.
As a full-service Swedish logistics recruitment firm, we provide a wide range of solutions tailored to your warehouse hiring needs.
We also provide comprehensive support including warehouse screening, truckkort verification (TYA/TLP standards A1-A4 through D1-D2, international ITSSAR/RTITB recognition accepted), physical fitness assessment, manual handling training checks, hazardous goods handling (ADR) verification where applicable, reference and background verification, arbetstillstånd coordination via Migrationsverket, kollektivavtal verification, EU Blue Card processing for logistics managers, Type D long-stay visa documentation, family reunification support, relocation assistance, accommodation guidance (essential given Stockholm and Gothenburg housing markets), personnummer (Swedish personal identity number) registration support, and onboarding integration.
We hire logistics professionals in Sweden at every level and specialisation, including warehouse operatives (lagerarbetare), general warehouse workers, store operatives, warehouse assistants, warehouse porters, order pickers (orderplockare), voice pickers, RF scanner operators, pick & pack operatives, packers (packare), packaging operatives, dispatchers, dispatch operatives (utlastare), goods-in operatives (godsmottagare), receiving clerks, loading bay operatives, yard operatives, yard supervisors, forklift drivers (truckförare with truckkort), counterbalance forklift operators, reach truck drivers (skjutstativstruckförare), VNA drivers, pallet truck operators (palettlyftare), side-loader drivers, stock controllers (lagerförvaltare), inventory clerks, stock auditors, cycle counters, replenishment operatives, returns operatives, quality control inspectors, cold storage operatives, freezer warehouse staff, ambient warehouse workers, GDP-certified pharmaceutical warehouse operatives (Apotek Hjärtat, Apoteket, Apotea, Tamro), hazmat operatives (ADR), e-commerce fulfilment specialists, automotive supply chain operatives (Volvo Cars, Volvo Group, Scania), apparel logistics specialists (H&M Group), retail distribution operatives (IKEA Group), port container handlers (Gothenburg, Stockholm-Norvik, Malmö), warehouse team leaders (arbetsledare), warehouse supervisors (lagerchef), shift managers (skiftchef), distribution centre managers, logistics coordinators (logistikkoordinator), freight handlers, freight forwarders (speditör), customs operatives (tullombud), warehouse managers (lagerchef), operations directors, supply chain managers (försörjningskedjechef), logistics directors, and Chief Operating Officers for Swedish logistics companies.
Different Swedish warehouse and logistics sectors have different staffing needs. We understand these differences and recruit candidates whose experience and skills align with your specific operation.

This industry-focused approach significantly improves time-to-productivity and long-term retention for the warehouse workers we place across Sweden.
We follow a structured, transparent, and quality-focused workflow designed for speed, accuracy, and compliance with Swedish regulations.
We start with a deep discovery conversation to understand your Swedish logistics operation, warehouse type (e-commerce fulfilment, cold storage, ambient, GDP pharmaceutical, automotive JIT, apparel/fashion, retail furniture, port operations, industrial manufacturing), equipment used (forklift types and truckkort requirements, automation, voice picking, RF scanning), shift patterns (day/night/weekend with kollektivavtal-based overtime premiums of 50-100%), language requirements (Swedish valued, English commonly accepted in international logistics, Norwegian/Danish mutually intelligible), kollektivavtal coverage, accommodation arrangements, semester (25-day paid holiday) requirements, and the specific warehouse skills that define success in the role.
We launch a multi-channel sourcing strategy combining our proprietary candidate database, professional logistics networks, vocational training school partnerships (gymnasieskola yrkesprogram), logistics industry communities, Arbetsförmedlingen (Swedish Public Employment Service) channels, EURES European Job Days, Nordic recruitment partnerships (Norway, Denmark, Finland — mutually intelligible languages), Polish/Lithuanian/Latvian recruitment networks (large existing workforces in Sweden), Swedish bemanningsföretag (staffing agency) networks (Adecco, Manpower, Lernia, Academic Work), competitor agency networks, and international labour markets in Asia, Africa, the CIS, and Eastern Europe. We focus on quality over quantity.
Every candidate is reviewed for warehouse credentials, truckkort certifications (TYA/TLP standards A1-A4 through D1-D2, international equivalents accepted), training certificates, work history at recognised logistics companies (PostNord Sverige, DHL Sweden, DB Schenker, Kuehne+Nagel, Bring Sweden, Logent, ICA, Coop, Axfood, Lidl Sverige, H&M, IKEA, Volvo Cars, Volvo Group, Scania, Apotek Hjärtat, Apoteket), warehouse equipment expertise, stock control knowledge, and proven track records in similar Swedish or Nordic logistics environments.
We conduct structured interviews including forklift practical tests (truckkort verification), picking productivity assessments, stock control scenario discussions, manual handling technique tests, RF scanner familiarity checks, WMS (Warehouse Management System) experience verification, and equipment handling evaluations for modern warehouse operations.
For senior warehouse supervisor and manager hires, we conduct in-depth reviews of past logistics impact, team leadership, experience improving productivity, KPI management, safety record performance, and lessons learned from real-world warehouse operations.
We verify employment history at warehouses, logistics companies, and distribution centres; training qualifications; professional certifications; safety records; and references with full transparency and proper consent, in accordance with GDPR and Swedish data protection law (Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten — IMY).
For non-EU/EEA warehouse hires, we coordinate arbetstillstånd (work permit) applications via Migrationsverket (Swedish Migration Agency), EU Blue Card processing for logistics managers, Type D long-stay visa applications, kollektivavtal verification (mandatory for work permit approval), family reunification support, and personnummer (Swedish personal identity number) registration through Skatteverket, all in line with Swedish immigration regulations.
We assist with travel planning, accommodation guidance (essential given Stockholm and Gothenburg housing markets), folkbokföring (population registration), personnummer setup, Skatteverket tax enrolment, warehouse safety induction, truckkort training where required, and cultural integration to help new warehouse hires settle in confidently across Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, Uppsala, Linköping, Norrköping, Örebro, Västerås, and other Swedish logistics hubs.
Local recruitment alone cannot solve Sweden’s warehouse worker shortage, driven by an ageing population and rapid expansion in the logistics sector. That is why we source qualified candidates from key global markets, ready to bring proven logistics skills to Swedish distribution centres and fulfilment hubs, with strong existing pipelines from Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Romania, and increasingly Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and the Philippines.
We actively recruit from Poland (the largest non-Nordic workforce in Swedish logistics), Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Romania, Bulgaria, and other Eastern European EU countries with a strong work ethic and Swedish warehouse experience under EU free movement. For non-EU positions, we source from the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and Nepal, which produce reliable, hardworking warehouse operatives with strong English proficiency and physical fitness valued by Swedish logistics employers. We source from India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, where a strong work ethic produces skilled warehouse workers and forklift operators. We work with candidates from Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Egypt, Senegal, Eritrea, and Ethiopia (with strong existing Swedish communities), who bring extensive logistics and warehouse experience. We engage talent across Eastern European countries, including Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, Albania, Croatia, Serbia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Turkey, as well as in Latin America, including Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina, for skilled logistics professionals.
Our international warehouse candidates bring strong skills in modern logistics methods and traditional warehouse operations, including order picking (manual, voice, RF scanner), pick & pack operations, e-commerce fulfilment, stock control, inventory management, cycle counting, goods-in/goods-out processes, forklift operation (counterbalance, reach truck, VNA, PPT, side-loader — with truckkort recognition), WMS systems (SAP EWM, Manhattan, Oracle WMS, JDA), pallet handling, shrink-wrapping, manual handling techniques, hazardous goods (ADR) handling, cold storage operations, pharmaceutical GDP practices, freight forwarding, customs documentation, automotive JIT sequencing experience, port container operations, apparel logistics (H&M-style fast fashion), retail furniture handling (IKEA-style), and use of modern logistics equipment commonly used in Swedish operations. They are ready to contribute from day one.
We support employers across all 21 Swedish counties (län), with strong recruitment activity in the most active logistics markets.
Not all recruitment agencies deliver equal results in the Swedish logistics sector. Here is what to look for when selecting your hiring partner.
Choose an agency that focuses on warehouse operatives, forklift drivers, and logistics services. Generalist recruiters often overlook the practical requirements and equipment-specific skills required for warehouse roles.
Make sure the agency can source talent internationally, not just locally. Sweden’s warehouse worker shortage, caused by an ageing population, means you need access to a Nordic-Baltic-Polish workforce network and a global candidate pool, with Swedish work permit pathways, including arbetstillstånd, EU Blue Card, and Type D long-stay visa.
Verify that the agency understands Swedish labour laws (Arbetsmiljölagen, Lag om anställningsskydd LAS), GDPR/IMY framework, country-specific immigration rules (arbetstillstånd, EU Blue Card, Type D visa), Migrationsverket procedures, Swedish kollektivavtal (collective bargaining agreement) framework covering 90% of workforce with no statutory minimum wage, arbetsgivaravgifter (31.42% employer social contributions, reduced 20.81% for ages 19-23 from April 2026), semester (25-day paid holiday) requirements, truckkort TYA/TLP forklift certification standards, manual handling regulations, working at height regulations, and Swedish warehouse safety standards.
Ask how the agency screens candidates. Look for truckkort verification (TYA/TLP standards A1-A4 through D1-D2, international equivalents), physical fitness assessment, warehouse equipment familiarity tests, WMS experience verification, multilingual proficiency checks (Swedish/English), and structured logistics interviews.
Avoid agencies with hidden fees or unclear processes. Choose partners who communicate openly at every stage about wages (under kollektivavtal sectoral agreements), accommodation arrangements (critical in Stockholm and Gothenburg), shift patterns, overtime premiums, semester, and contract terms.
Check client testimonials, case studies, and references from recognised Swedish logistics giants (PostNord Sverige, DHL Sweden, DB Schenker, Kuehne+Nagel, Bring Sweden, Logent, ICA, Coop, Axfood, Lidl Sverige, H&M, IKEA, Volvo Cars, Volvo Group, Scania, Apotek Hjärtat) and major distribution operations. A real track record matters more than promises.
The best agencies handle everything from sourcing to onboarding, including visa processing, relocation, accommodation guidance, personnummer registration, Skatteverket enrolment, and integration support.
The Swedish logistics industry is changing fast. Here are the key trends shaping warehouse recruitment in 2026.
Swedish work permit (arbetstillstånd) applications continue rising as logistics hubs (Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö) face acute warehouse worker shortages, with PostNord Sverige, DHL Sweden, DB Schenker, Kuehne+Nagel, Bring Sweden, Logent, ICA, Coop, Axfood, Lidl Sverige, H&M, IKEA, Volvo Cars, Volvo Group, Scania, Apotek Hjärtat, and major employers increasingly sponsoring non-EU/EEA warehouse workers through Migrationsverket.
Consumer expectations for same-day and next-day delivery drive massive demand for order pickers, voice pickers, and fulfilment associates across Apotea (Sweden’s largest online pharmacy), Instabox, Budbee, Boozt, and major retail e-commerce operations.
Swedish truckförare shortage remains acute, with truckkort-certified forklift drivers commanding premium wages across Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, and other distribution centres.
Sweden’s April 2026 reduction of arbetsgivaravgifter (employer social contributions) to 20.81% for workers aged 19-23 (effective April 1 2026, to September 30 2027) — down from the standard 31.42% — directly incentivises Swedish logistics employers to hire young warehouse workers, reducing total employer cost.
Port of Gothenburg’s role as Scandinavia’s largest port drives strong demand for container handlers, freight forwarders, and bonded warehouse staff serving Nordic and Baltic supply chains.
H&M Group’s global apparel leadership and IKEA Group’s global furniture leadership (both headquartered in Sweden), along with massive worldwide logistics operations, drive strong hiring for apparel warehouse staff, furniture-handling specialists, and global supply chain workers.
Volvo Cars (Geely-owned, Gothenburg), Volvo Group Trucks (Gothenburg), and Scania (Södertälje) automotive manufacturing leadership drives strong hiring for JIT sequencing specialists, automotive warehouse operatives, and supply chain workers.
Swedish warehouses remain heavily dependent on Polish, Lithuanian, Latvian, and Romanian workers under EU/EEA free movement, with non-EU-sponsored workers from Asia, Africa, and Latin America increasingly filling additional gaps through arbetstillstånd permits.
Swedish warehouse wages have risen significantly under kollektivavtal (no statutory minimum wage), with warehousing/logistics starting salaries approximately SEK 28,000-29,000/month under current agreements, average warehouse worker gross salary SEK 380,021/year (~€33,000 — equivalent to SEK 183/hour), Stockholm premium SEK 407,303/year, entry-level SEK 292,103, senior 8+ years SEK 451,292, average national gross monthly salary SEK 37,000-44,000, plus arbetsgivaravgifter 31.42% employer (reduced to 20.81% for ages 19-23 from April 2026), kollektivavtal-based overtime premiums 50-100%, semester (25-day paid holiday) minimum, and Swedish welfare state benefits.
More Swedish logistics companies are absorbing visa sponsorship costs to attract global warehouse talent, recognising that local and EU/EEA supply cannot meet demand from H&M/IKEA's global growth, Volvo's automotive supply, the Port of Gothenburg's expansion, and the country’s strategic Nordic logistics role.
We have built our reputation on three core principles: quality, compliance, and partnership.
Quality comes from our exclusive focus on warehouse operative, forklift driver, and logistics services roles, rigorous screening, and presenting only candidates who genuinely match your Swedish logistics operation’s productivity and safety standards.
Compliance comes from adhering to Swedish labour laws (Arbetsmiljölagen, Lag om anställningsskydd LAS), GDPR/IMY framework, kollektivavtal sectoral agreements covering 90% of the Swedish workforce, Utlänningslagen (Aliens Act), manual handling regulations, warehouse safety standards (including working at height regulations, truckkort TYA/TLP forklift certification, and ADR for hazmat), and arbetstillstånd, EU Blue Card, and Type D visa immigration requirements at every step of the hiring process, thereby protecting your Swedish logistics business from legal and regulatory risk.
Partnership comes from acting as your long-term logistics workforce planning advisor since 2009, not just a one-time vendor. We invest in understanding your distribution centre, fulfilment hub, or automotive supply chain and helping you build sustainable warehouse workforce capabilities.
Our Swedish clients stay with us because we help them build stronger warehouse teams faster, with less risk and less administrative burden.

A warehouse packer recruitment agency in Sweden is a specialised firm that helps Swedish fulfilment employers find, screen, and hire qualified packers, including hand packers, machine packers, kitting operatives, and returns packers. It handles candidate sourcing, document verification, interviews, and often Arbetstillstånd and visa support.
Most packing roles in Sweden do not require formal qualifications. We screen for warehouse or factory work experience, basic English or Swedish language skills, medical fitness, attention to detail, and verified references from previous employers.
Yes. We confirm basic safety awareness during screening, and our Swedish employer partners provide site-specific safety induction and PPE on arrival, in line with Arbetsmiljöverket workplace safety standards.
Yes. We work with Swedish clients across e-commerce, fashion, beauty, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and retail packing operations.
Recruitment agencies save time, reduce no-show rates, provide access to pre-vetted candidates, and handle compliance with Swedish regulations. They are especially valuable for bulk hires, peak seasons, and the launch of new Swedish fulfilment centres.
Pricing varies by model. Temporary and contract staffing in Sweden typically uses an hourly margin on top of the worker’s collective-agreement wage. Permanent placements are usually charged at 10 to 15 per cent of annual salary.
Standard packing roles typically deploy in 1 to 3 weeks. Bulk hiring for new Swedish fulfilment centres can be completed within 3 to 6 weeks. Team leader and supervisor roles can take 4 to 8 weeks to fill.
Yes. We source qualified packers from over 50 countries and coordinate Arbetstillstånd, posted worker, and national D visa applications for non-EU hires destined for Sweden.
We recruit across all 21 counties of Sweden, with strong activity in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, Uppsala, Västerås, and other major logistics regions.
Yes. We provide packers experienced in chilled, frozen, and cold-environment operations, including GDP-trained packers for the Swedish pharmaceutical cold chain.

Yes. We can mobilise complete packing teams, from hand packers and kitters to team leaders and supervisors, for new Swedish fulfilment centre ramp-ups.
We use document checks, shift availability discussions, structured behavioural interviews, attention-to-detail questioning, fitness declarations, and reference calls to previous warehouse or factory supervisors.
Yes. We maintain full GDPR and Swedish data protection compliance throughout the recruitment lifecycle, including obtaining proper consent, securely storing data, and sharing data only with authorised parties.
Yes. We work with Swedish operations of all sizes, from small e-commerce packing teams to large fulfilment centres employing hundreds of packers.
We cover e-commerce fulfilment, fashion and apparel packing, beauty and cosmetics, food and beverage, frozen and chilled food, pharmaceutical packing, subscription boxes, electronics, retail distribution, returns processing, and 3PL packing operations across Sweden.
No. Swedish official authorities and employers make all immigration and hiring decisions. We provide structured professional support, not guarantees.
Our exclusive specialisation in warehouse packing and fulfilment roles, global talent reach across 50+ countries, full Swedish and EU compliance expertise, and end-to-end support from sourcing to site mobilisation set us apart from generalist Swedish agencies.
Most candidates speak basic English. Many also speak Swedish (essential for some Swedish roles), Polish, Romanian, Ukrainian, Spanish, Russian, Tagalog, or regional EU languages.
Typically, a valid passport, a signed employment contract, a work permit approval, proof of professional experience, a medical fitness certificate, health insurance, and a police clearance are required for a Swedish Arbetstillstånd.
We coordinate with Swedish employers and accommodation providers to arrange housing near the warehouse for international hires, depending on the employer’s package.
The Arbetstillstånd is Sweden’s main work and residence permit pathway for qualified non-EU workers. Skilled warehouse workers, team leaders, and shortage-occupation candidates may qualify under the appropriate category.
