Arbetskatalogen

Arbetskatalogen, also known as the Swedish Job Catalogue, is an online platform designed to facilitate job matching between job seekers and employers in Sweden. It was launched in 2000 as a joint initiative between the Swedish Public Employment Service (Arbetsförmedlingen) and the Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees (TCO). The platform aims to provide a comprehensive and user-friendly tool for both job seekers and employers to find suitable matches.

The Arbetskatalogen operates by allowing job seekers to create detailed profiles that include their skills, work experience, and career aspirations. Employers can then search these profiles to find candidates that match their job requirements. The platform also offers features such as job alerts, resume screening, and the ability to schedule interviews directly through the site.

One of the key advantages of Arbetskatalogen is its integration with other Swedish employment services, which allows for a seamless transition from unemployment benefits to job placement. This integration helps to streamline the job search process and reduce the administrative burden on both job seekers and employers.

The platform is available in Swedish and English, making it accessible to a broader range of users. It is widely used by both Swedish citizens and foreign workers looking for employment in Sweden. Arbetskatalogen has been recognized for its role in improving the efficiency of the Swedish job market and has been credited with contributing to the country's strong labor market performance.
