It’s not like a regular interview. Because it’s not lika a human reacting to another human. It is like it’s calculating and then reacts.

Accurate public sector hiring
Although Nacka Municipality has had it easier than many other municipalities to recruit in different areas in the past, it has now started to become more difficult to recruit in certain professional fields. Therefore, they have begun to work more with competency in a different way according to Linus Holmgren,
- To become one of Sweden's best employers, we have to start by attracting the best talents and getting them to continue looking for a job at Nacka even though they didn't get the job. We are working on training our recruiters on how they can be more accurate when it comes to recruitment. Creating an unbiased candidate experience is one of the changes that I have initiated and made a high priority to achieve the goals we have in mind.
