Any nice companies in Sweden hiring Americans?
A lot of tech companies here hires people from all over the world, not specifically the US and they have english as their primary language, no need to know any Swedish for the job(except for it making life a little easier outside of your office, but you’ll manage knowing only English, I work with plenty who only speak english).
However, I’ve never heard of work places explicitly recruiting americans, except maybe for the US Embassy lol.
The main reason to look outside Sweden for employees is certain competences, so for example if you’re a master at game design, VFX, 3D design, game programming etc, you would probably have no trouble getting work at, for instance, DICE (the company behind the Battlefield, Battlefront and Mirrors Edge series), if you’re excellent as a car designer/engineer or top notch in programming built in systems for cars Scania or Volvo (JCKs company) might be interested, etc.
The process would probably be something like you finding a job (jobsites, LinkedIn etc) after which you would apply for a work permit in Sweden and then take it from there. The employer would probably know how to make the move as smoothly as possible for you. Company I am in is global one, and usually instead of hire from overseas, they relocate couple employees from other parts of the world (I was offered the same for Dubai and HK years ago, told them no thanks lol).
These jobs are mainly in Stockholm, most international city, for good reasons. Met plenty of non-student americansin nightlife here, who work for Spotify, tetrapack, or other tech or car companies.
The American employers who speak English that I encounter while on the job in stockholm more frequently usually work service industry jobs at American or English brands. Starbucks, American Apparel, M.A.C or random Urban Outfitters are some of them. Usually service stores and usually young people, mostly students, in locations in the central where tourists visit.
