This makes it hard to identify genuine candidates.\nA recommendation from a trusted agency will ensure your application gets past the spam filters and gets seen.\n\n**Is your experience unverified?**\nDue to the large number of applications\, most employers do not have the resources to verify every CV they receive.\n\nIt is more efficient for employers to use a job agency to handle this process. The role of the job agency is to speak to each candidate and get to know their skills\, experience and qualifications before making a recommendation.\n\n**Is your CV formatted correctly and compatible with modern AI recruitment software used by employers?**\nDue to the large number of applications\, CVs are rarely downloaded and printed anymore.\nAlmost all CVs get scanned by AI software\, and the text is extracted and stored in a database.\n\nRecruiters usually search the database for keywords that match the job description and review just the top 20-30 search results.\nIf your CV is formatted incorrectly or incompatible with Swedish recruitment systems\, your CV may not appear in search results.\n\n## How to get a recommendation from an agency in Sweden?\n\n**1\\. Contact a job agency in Sweden\\.**\nAsk for a meeting to review your experience and qualifications.\nSome agencies also offer job search help.\n\n**2\\. Review your qualifications and experience**\nDiscuss your career background in detail with the agency.\n\n**3\\. Get your CV marked as a Trusted Applicant**\nAfter the meeting\, your CV is marked as a trusted application in the database.\n\n**4\\. Get recommended to companies**\nAsk the agencies to send recommendations to the companies you apply to and follow up on your applications.\n\n**Some popular agencies are Manpower\, Hayes\, Randstad\, Adecco\, or you can use EnglishJobs.se**\nThere are many job agencies in Sweden that you can use to get verified and recommend your CV to employers.\n\n**___________________**\n**ABOUT THE MEETUP CONTENTS**\n**___________________**\n**During this meetup\, you will learn:**\n– the reason why you are not getting replies to your applications?\n– the reason why your applications keep getting rejected?\n– the reason why you are not getting job interviews?\n\n– how recommendations work?\n– how to get recommendations from job agencies in Sweden?\n– why do most companies prefer applications via job agencies?\n\n– how to prepare your CV in Swedish for employers?\n– how Swedish employers use AI and ATS for searching?\n– how to prep your CV so it shows in the top 20 search results?\n– how to write your CV to make it understandable for AI systems?\n– how to present your work experience and skills?\n\n– what are your career options in Sweden?\n– how to find job titles to search for that fit your profile?\n– which job databases to search\n– how to get your CV recommended by job agencies?\n\n**Questions?**\nPlease email\n[elsa@englishjobs.se](mailto:elsa@englishjobs.se)\nThanks and see you there\,\nElsa\n\nMer info: https://www.meetup.com/international-professionals-jobs-in-sweden/events/315613943/
