Jobbstep

Jobbstep is a Swedish employment support company operating the "Rusta och Matcha" (Prepare and Match) programme, which helps unemployed individuals registered with the Swedish employment agency (Arbetsformedlingen) transition into work or education. The service is free to eligible participants and is designed specifically for those who have been out of work for a period and need structured support to establish themselves in the labour market. The programme is offered through multiple local Jobbstep offices across Sweden, with participants referred through their employment agency case worker based on their individual needs assessment.

The programme combines preparatory education, motivational activities, and individualised coaching to help participants develop stability and readiness for sustainable employment. Jobbstep recognises that simply matching people to vacancies is insufficient; instead, the company provides holistic support addressing confidence, skills, and workplace expectations. Participants receive guidance tailored to their interests and circumstances, with the programme structured to build both practical job-readiness and personal stability. The company emphasises that successful placement creates stability for both the candidate and the new employer.

Jobbstep works with a network of well-regarded employers across various sectors who value the preparation candidates have received through the programme. The service is delivered locally, with offices in multiple Swedish communities allowing participants to access support close to home. Jobbstep Rusta och Matcha positions itself as a reliable pathway to employment for individuals facing barriers to traditional job market access, utilising evidence-based coaching methods to support successful transitions.
