Back Up Sverige

Back up Sverige AB is a Swedish bemanningsföretag that describes itself as bemanningsföretaget med omtanke, the staffing company that cares. It was founded and is led by Ingrid Ryde, who signs the welcome on the homepage as VD och grundare. Employers looking for competence within restaurang, butik och lager are invited to make contact for a kostnadsfri konsultation, a free consultation, after which the company helps them find the right person for the job. Bemanning through Back up Sverige means it hires out employees with the right competence and matches them to the company's needs. It works proactively and holds open interviews with new candidates, which it says allows it to find suitable staff quickly when a request comes in.

The company's specialism is the group of people it places. It focuses on supporting people with förvärvade funktionsnedsättningar, acquired disabilities, in their return to working life. As it explains, those who acquire a disability as adults after illness or an accident have usually worked for several years beforehand and hold a great deal of competence. All of its candidates have work experience, know their field and are used to working both in a team and independently, and while everyone can work independently, some need a degree of individual adaptation. The extent of a candidate's working capacity varies, with some able to work half time, others 75 per cent and some full time. Candidate skills sit mainly within restaurant, retail and warehouse work, though other competences can be relevant when they are asked for, and current demand is for konditor, bagare, kock and kallskänka roles as well as fruit and vegetable staff.

Back up Sverige serves Swedish employers who need staff temporarily or for a longer period, for example during a hiring freeze, and it handles both the staffing request and the support of the candidate all the way to the job. Jobseekers with an acquired disability are told they can turn to the company for help with a transition in working life and will be supported the whole way to their dream job. The reason it puts to employers is twofold: a free consultation and fast matching, and the chance to make a worthwhile contribution for people who need that transition.
