A little bit about the city: Stockholm

A gorgeous, green and peaceful city, there’s a lot to love about life in this city which makes up a quarter of the Swedish population. Often referred to as the capital of Scandinavia, there’s a lot of culture to be found here. This includes a mix of nightlife and variety of restaurants, however in spite of this, the city maintains its calm vibe. For residents, the warmer months are filled with barbecues, sporting events and time in the countryside. The colder months are also taken advantage of with skiing, hiking, sledding and ice skating becoming the popular activities for that time of year

Stockholm is one third water and one third green space, making for an abundance of natural beauty, which is great for all family members to enjoy. In terms of expatriates enjoying life here, there are a number of high-quality bilingual schools and other international schools which are perfect for expats who are relocating to Stockholm with kids in tow. One thing to be aware of is that home-schooling in Sweden is heavily regulated and is only allowed in very rare circumstances.

Here at Skillsearch, we're a recruitment company. In the simplest form, this means we place people at new companies - but it's so much more than that. For the past 30 years, we've been busy helping people (like you) with sought after skills find jobs in the Games, Interactive and Enterprise Systems industries all around the globe. Our company comprises a team of dedicated consultants that work across various niche technologies, including Games, Virtual Reality, AR and XR, Workday, Oracle, Peoplesoft, and eCommerce. We are always exploring other cutting-edge markets.
