No. When recruitment for summer jobs/vacation cover starts, the recruiters are busy with interviews and the recruitment process. Therefore, they can be very difficult to reach by phone and they are unable to receive unannounced personal visits. Therefore, it is important that you make a good presentation of yourself and your experience in your application.

You will receive a confirmation by e-mail to the address you specified in the application. Make sure you enter a valid email address. Have a look in your spam folder - sometimes the confirmation mail can end up there.

No, unfortunately we cannot make such promises.

We appreciate if you attach a copy of your grade (and driver's license) with your application.

Yes, you need to apply again. Then we will know that you are interested in working with us again.

No, you cannot currently expect any assistance with housing.

We will contact you by phone and sometimes by mail if we want to meet you for an interview. If we choose a different applicant, you will receive an e-mail thanking you for your interest.

We look at education, skills and experience. We prioritize educational grades and a Swedish category B driver’s license as a minimum.

The length of the recruitment process varies. If we decide to call you to an interview, we will contact you personally.

The Candidate Portal is your own personal page that you create. It allows you to apply for other vacancies without having to fill in all your information again. You can also subscribe to find out about new vacancies that you are interested in and get a summary of what jobs you have applied for.

The supported browsers are Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari. The application page also requires that you allow cookies on your browser. If it still does not work or you receive an error message, please contact us at rekrytering@lkab.com.

We usually wait until the last application day has passed before we make an initial selection and contact those we want to meet for an interview. If we intend to make a continuous selection during the recruitment process, we say this in the advertisement.

After selection, we call candidates to interviews – the number of people we call varies. After the interview process, it is time for references. Some vacancies also require tests - sometimes the tests come before the references, sometimes after. It depends on what kind of job it is. Before offering employment, we will also make sure that you have a physical examination. We wait until the recruitment process is complete before informing other candidates that they were unsuccessful.

In the first interview you will usually get to meet one of our employees at HR and the recruiting manager. The length of the interview depends on the job in question and can last within 60 minutes and two hours. The interview takes place either at our premises or at a digital meeting place.

You can email us directly via rekrytering@lkab.com If you have specific questions about the job you have applied for, you can contact the recruiting manager directly - contact information can be found in the respective advertisement for each job.

It depends on the type of job you have applied for, but within six and twelve weeks is the most common. Sometimes things happen that make it take longer, and sometimes things go more quickly. Some jobs require tests and that can mean that it takes longer. At LKAB Malmtrafik we have a security service and every recruitment takes longer because there is a security examination and several stages of tests.

We operate in a changing environment and we support and encourage the development and careers of all our employees.

There are many different people working with recruitment at LKAB - to be sure that we consider you for other roles, it is best that you submit a new application for each one. We welcome your application once again!
