Rookie

Rookie is a Stockholm based recruitment company that matches companies with young talent aged 18 to 28. The company positions itself as a partner for employers seeking hyrrekrytering (temp to hire), consultants, or a future permanent colleague, drawing on 20 years of combined recruitment experience within its team. Rookie also runs a candidate facing service, allowing young jobseekers early in their careers to browse open roles and upload a CV to become visible to employers.

The company deliberately focuses on a single age segment rather than the whole labour market, arguing that people between 18 and 28 bring dynamism, new perspectives and innovation to an employer's team. Rookie maintains a quality assured, clearly segmented talent pool of vetted young candidates, which it says allows it to find the right person for an organisation more easily than a generalist recruiter. Each month, the company also recognises a high performing student from a different academic programme and university through its Rookie of the Month feature, most recently a Lund University student studying bioprocess technology within a bioengineering degree.

Rookie is based in Stockholm, at Drottninggatan 32, and serves employers throughout Sweden through its matching platform. The Head of Finance and Business Control at Coop Logistik is quoted describing the collaboration as smooth, with accurate candidate selection that has led to fast placements for consultancy needs. The company emphasises speed without sacrificing quality, aiming to help employers avoid losing top candidates during a slow hiring process.
