Yeah, sorry. I got contractor and freelancer mixed up. It doesn't help that in Sweden freelancer/contractor/consultant are used interchangably for someone who invoices for their time instead of getting a salary.

The contracting agencies don't do any permanent position, they only do medium-to-long term contracts (3-24 months). The biggest is Northern Europe is probably https://www.verama.com/ (ex E-Work)

Goes other way too, contractor is a super vague term.

Even gets used for fixed term employees.

But you can make friends with the client and later work directly for them.
