Find your new employees with Manpower

Recruitment is the process of identifying, attracting, and hiring the right person for the right role in an organization or company.

Manpower is one of Sweden’s leading staffing and recruitment companies. With us, you get a professional and efficient recruitment process that ensures you find employees who are a good fit for your business.

When is recruitment the right solution?

Recruitment is a great option when you’re looking to hire a new employee for the long term. For example:

• To fill a vacant position
   
• To expand your business with additional resources
   
• To replace an employee who has left the company
   
• To strengthen your team with specific expertise

If you instead need consultants for shorter assignments or seasonal peaks, read more about our staffing services.

Our recruitment process

Our recruitment methodology is based on scientific principles and practical experience, using evidence-based and competency-based recruitment:

1. Client analysis
   We begin with a needs analysis and create a timeline to ensure we understand your requirements. Our skilled recruiters identify the key competencies and attributes needed and create a profile for the role.
    
2. Advertising
   We help you create a keyword-optimized job ad to attract the right talent. We also provide advice on which channels and techniques are best suited to reach your target audience.
    
3. Search
   We systematically search within our networks and talent pools to find qualified candidates for the role.
    
4. Validation
   We conduct interviews, tests, and reference checks, and we offer background checks if desired.
    
5. Hiring
   As the recruitment process nears completion, we assist you in selecting the right candidate. We also handle all communication with candidates and support you during the hiring phase.
    
6. Follow-up
   We always follow up after the recruitment to ensure both you and the candidate are satisfied. This follow-up usually takes place a few months after the candidate has started.

The difference between recruitment and staffing

Recruitment means hiring a new employee for a long-term role, often a permanent position. We assist with the entire process — from needs analysis and advertising to selection and hiring decision.

Staffing means that the consultant is employed by us but works on assignment at your company. Staffing is often used for short-term needs such as temporary workloads or maternity covers.
