==================================

During this meetup, you will get a general guidance on how to apply for jobs and also mingle and network with other job seekers.

## Here is why you need to be recommended by a Swedish job agency


Is your application marked as a trusted candidate?

There are about 400 applications for every job position.
Priority is given to candidates recommended by trusted sources such as an agency or existing employee, as there is a higher chance of a fit with the job position.
Most jobs are filled by candidates that have been recommended.


Is your application is being marked as spam or simply deleted?

Employers often get flooded with advertising spam and fake profiles. This makes it hard to identify genuine candidates.
A recommendation from a trusted agency will ensure your application makes it past the spam filters and gets seen.


Is your experience is unverified?
Due to the large number of applications, most employers do not have the resources to verify every CV they receive.
It 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.


Is your CV is formatted correctly and compatible with modern AI recruitment software used by employers?
Due to the large number of applications, CV’s are rarely downloaded and printed anymore.
Almost all CVs get scanned by AI software, the text is extracted and stored in a database.
Recruiters usually search the database for keywords matching the job description and review just the top 20-30 search results.
If your CV is formatted incorrectly or incompatible with Swedish recruitment systems, you run the risk of your CV not appearing in the search results.
