Terms and conditions for advertising in the Job Bank

1. Who can advertise in the Job Bank?

1.1 Advertisers in Sweden

To advertise in the Job Bank, the advertiser must be active in Sweden and be listed in Statistics Sweden’s Business Register. Private individuals may not advertise in the Job Bank. Exceptions may be made for private individuals who are hiring personal assistants and foreign embassies in Sweden that are not registered in the Business register.

1.2 Advertisers in the EU/EEA and Switzerland

Advertising may be carried out if the employer and the work to be performed are located within the EU/EEA or Switzerland, where freedom of movement applies. The advertiser must then contact the EURES services in the country where the employer operates. EURES services are available from the public employment agency of the country and private actors and organisations. Read more on the EURES portal (eures.europa.eu).

Companies registered in a country outside the EU/EEA or Switzerland may not advertise in the Job Bank.

Arbetsförmedlingen also reserves the right to refuse or discontinue the publication of job adverts that are deemed unsuitable based on Arbetsförmedlingen’s assignment.
• The advertiser shall not gain an advantage at the expense of other advertisers by systematically unpublishing and republishing an advert for the same position with the same or similar content, or by advertising the same position in several adverts at the same time.
• A job may only be advertised in the location where the job is to be performed. If there are several alternative locations where the job can be performed, advertising may take place in these locations.

• In the advert, the advertiser may not discriminate against applicants on the grounds of gender, transgender identity or expression, ethnicity, religion or other belief, disability, sexual orientation, or age.
• In the advert, the advertiser must not mislead the applicant about the qualifications for the position or the place where the work will mainly be carried out.
  

5. How is the review and quality assurance carried out?

Adverts in the Job Bank undergo an automated review when published. If Arbetsförmedlingen thinks that the advert contravenes the advertising conditions, Arbetsförmedlingen is entitled to remove the advert. Arbetsförmedlingen’s decision to remove the ad is final. After the advert has been removed, the advertiser can adjust the content of the advert and republish it.

If contact details are missing, Arbetsförmedlingen has the right to remove the advert without contacting the advertiser beforehand.

If you have any questions regarding an advertisement that has been rejected or removed, please contact Arbetsförmedlingen.
