Why this shape

Verso offers a calm, minimalist single-column A4 layout suited to hiring expectations in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, Uppsala and Linköping. Swedish recruitment favours understated clarity, ISO-style yyyy-MM date ranges and concrete team and technical contributions over promotional language. Use Verso for either a Swedish CV (Arbetslivserfarenhet, Utbildning, Kompetenser, Språk) or an English CV paired with a separate personligt brev.

How it reads

Best for

Engineers, product specialists and researchers applying in English or Swedish across Sweden
Candidates submitting a structured 1-to-2 page A4 CV through Teamtailor, Workday or ReachMee

Structure Swedish CV sections, YYYY-MM timelines and education clearly

Swedish employers and hiring managers look for an uncluttered chronological overview that is easy to verify. Place your contact details (city, Swedish phone number, email, LinkedIn or GitHub) at the top without including your full 10- or 12-digit personnummer. Under Arbetslivserfarenhet (Work Experience), use standard Swedish ISO year-and-month dates (yyyy-MM, such as 2023-08 – 2026-05) and describe what you built, improved or coordinated in straightforward terms.

Under Utbildning (Education), state your degree (Kandidatexamen, Civilingenjörsexamen, Magisterexamen, Masterexamen or Yrkeshögskoleexamen / YH) and institution clearly, or list your international university credential alongside honest CEFR levels for Swedish and English.

Pair your A4 CV with a focused personligt brev and check portal fields

In Sweden, the CV lists your structured factual history while your personligt brev (cover letter, typically half to one A4 page) explains why the specific role and team match your background. Keep your CV free of long narrative paragraphs so the two documents complement rather than repeat each other.

Many Swedish startups, industrial groups and public agencies recruit through Teamtailor, Workday, Greenhouse or ReachMee. After exporting your Verso A4 PDF, inspect the extracted text in your browser and confirm that Swedish characters (å, ä, ö) and date ranges appear cleanly before submitting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I include my Swedish personnummer or a photo on my CV?

Never put your full personnummer on a job application CV in Sweden. Photographs are also unnecessary and increasingly discouraged in Swedish corporate, engineering and public-sector recruitment; Verso has no photo slot.

Should I list references on a Swedish CV?

In Sweden, references (Referenser) are normally shared only at the late interview stage when requested by the hiring manager. You can either omit a reference section or add a simple line such as 'Referenser lämnas på begäran' ('References available on request').

How long should a CV be in Sweden?

Most Swedish employers expect a one-to-two page A4 CV, accompanied by a separate one-page personligt brev when the application portal asks for a cover letter.
