How our retingency approach addresses recruitment challenges:
Upfront Costs
Expanding in Sweden often requires a specialist recruiter, but traditional retained models ask for upfront costs before results. With our Retingency service, you get all the benefits of a retained search (dedicated account manager, headhunting, strategy) but only pay when we deliver a successful placement.
No financial risk. No compromise on quality.
Lack of Candidate Insights
When hiring in a new country like Sweden, guessing isn’t an option. That’s why we include behavioural assessments in our process at no extra cost. It gives you deeper insight into how a candidate thinks and works, helping you avoid costly mis-hires and make better decisions, backed by data, not just CVs.
Continuity
Many contingency recruiters focus on volume, not value, especially across borders. We take a different approach. With Retingency, you get a dedicated account manager and a team who have a deep understanding of your industry and goals. We’ll align closely with your needs and deliver culturally and commercially suitable candidates across Sweden.

Many candidates are already in stable roles, and employers compete heavily for bilingual professionals who combine technical expertise with strong commercial ability.
It is highly competitive. Sweden’s engineering and technology sectors are thriving, particularly in sustainable manufacturing and innovation.

Employers must offer clear progression paths, modern work cultures and attractive compensation packages to stand out

Yes. English proficiency in Sweden is among the highest in Europe, and many engineers and technical salespeople are comfortable working in English-speaking environments. For client-facing sales roles, however, fluency in Swedish remains a strong advantage.
Swedish professionals value work-life balance, modern leadership, and purpose-driven companies. They also expect transparent communication, flexibility, and structured development opportunities. Competitive pay is important, but employer culture and sustainability values carry significant weight in the decision-making process.

We focus exclusively on engineering and technical sales recruitment. Our deep specialisation, market insight and targeted approach allow us to deliver relevant shortlists quickly and ensure each placement aligns with your company’s technical needs and culture.
Sweden’s strongest engineering and technical sales talent is concentrated around its main industrial and innovation hubs. Stockholm leads in technology, automation and digital industries. Gothenburg is home to major automotive, energy and manufacturing employers, while Malmö and Lund are strong in electronics, life sciences and green tech. Umeå and Luleå in the north are growing engineering centres thanks to renewable energy and battery production projects.
If you’re hiring outside these regions, relocation can be slower because professionals often prefer to stay near family or established industry clusters. Offering hybrid work options can significantly widen your candidate reach.
