The real challenge with hiring in Sweden

Hiring in Sweden isn’t difficult because of payroll.It’s difficult because Swedish employment is:

strongly employee-protective
influenced by collective agreements
built around long-term trust and predictability

 Many foreign companies underestimate:

how notice periods work
trust with employees erodes
how benefits and pensions are expected, not optional

Traditional EORs focus on administration. Fronted focuses on the employment system as a whole.

Fronted has literally changed my life by reaching out to me for a vacancy with what is currently my dream company and position! In the world of remote work, we are always at risk of being paid late, but Fronted makes sure we are paid on time.

Not only are they reliable, but super helpful and professional. Will forever be indebted to Fronted and their endless support
