Services to support recruitment

Are you looking for skilled employees? List your job vacancy with us, and we'll help you fill it. Our services also include international recruitment and tailored trainings, which will help you find new employees tailored to your organisation's needs.

List your job vacancy

We recommend posting job vacancies on the nationwide Job Market Finland website, where they will reach a large audience of active job seekers. You can add a job advertisement by logging in to the Job Market Finland platform.

We will manage job vacancy announcements through the agreed channels, offer guidance on the recruitment process, and identify and present suitable candidates to the employer.

International recruitment and employment services

If you want to bring international expertise to your company or are struggling to find employees in Finland, international recruitment could be the solution.

Our experts will help you identify the most suitable target country and launch the recruitment process in collaboration with local partners. We also provide assistance with participating in trade fairs and marketing job vacancies. We can help organise recruitment events in the target country and assist with receiving applications.

Recruitment training

If you can’t find skilled employees, you can train them yourself through our recruitment training (RekryKoulutus). The training is tailored to the company’s needs and it includes theoretical instruction, guided on-the-job learning, and internships. Those who successfully complete the training will be employed by the company.

The employer and the Economic affairs and employment administration jointly fund the training. The employer’s share is 30 percent of the total price according to the procurement contract.

In collaboration with companies, we have invested in acquiring new employees through RekryKoulutus recruitment training. We have developed a flexible model that allows us to train new employees either individually or in larger groups of up to 10–15 new employees at a time. Collaboration with trainers has been seamless, and the employment rate after training has been 100%.

Pay subsidy

As an employer, you may receive a pay subsidy when hiring an unemployed jobseeker who faces challenges in finding employment. Employment challenges may result from various factors, including prolonged unemployment, a lack of vocational skills, disability, or illness.

Please note that we currently provide pay subsidy only to companies.

The pay subsidy is paid directly to the employer, with possible payment dates being the 15th and 30th of each month.

More information and instructions for applying for the pay subsidy (jobmarket.fi).

The Enterprise Finland Telephone Service provides guidance and assistance with filling out online applications.
