I applied for their services and they want me to pay 39 Euros for a workshop and application processing. They say it covers job agencies and visa support.
Has anyone used them? How long did it take to get a job?
Are they trustworthy? I’m applying from Africa and need to decide quickly. Any help is appreciated!

This sounds like an advance fee scam.

Hi /u/Ok-Lingonberry-8261, AutoModerator is here to explain the advance fee scam.
The advance-fee scam comes in many forms: investment offers, money transfers, job scams, and online purchases. But the key is the same — they ask you to pay upfront before you get anything in return. You’ll pay them, but you won’t get anything.
It could be as simple as asking for money before you receive an item, or a complex scheme with fake websites and government agents. Sometimes they’ll disappear after the first payment, or they’ll keep making excuses for why you need to send more money.
If you think you’ve been scammed, try to dispute the payment or do a chargeback. Block the scammer and ignore any further contact.
You should never have to pay to get a job.

Thanks for letting me know.
I checked their website for my region, and it makes no sense at all. It’s just a bunch of job ads poorly translated. Some of the companies listed are hundreds of kilometers away. Most of the jobs require experience or skills that come way before speaking English or any other language.
Definitely a scam, stay away.

Thank you so much! That really helped me make up my mind.
its legit, it clearly states on where website, the workshop fee is to help with the job search and recommendations.
Sweden is a small place and most jobs go to people introduced by a job agency. As such, the purpose of the workshop is to get to know your skills better and then recommend you to companies.
The fee is for the workshop. Its not for a job gurantee. There is no such thing as a guranteed job. at the end of the day you need to apply for jobs and do the interview your self. Englishjobs.se cannot do the interview for you. That would be illegal. Hope you undertand the workshop contents.
The payment is for the workshop help and introductions to companies. You still need to.apply and do the interviews. that is upto you.
It’s always free to apply for jobs in Sweden.
Some jobseekers need help with introductions or writing their cv and job search.
There are plenty of agecies that provide such support. I found englishjobs.se to work better for expats. It is legit.
It seems the payment is for the workshop, not for getting a job. That is fair, plenty of agencies provide coaching services.
Some candidates need help with job search and applications and employer introductions.
