International recruitment – When you can’t find the right people close by
Not every vacancy can be filled from the Finnish labour market. Many industries face a shortage of skilled workers, and a lack of people can slow down a company’s growth.
International recruitment makes it possible to find skilled workers from outside Finland too. We help you find the right people for the role and take care of the practical arrangements of the recruitment from start to finish.
How international recruitment works
We’ve recruited skilled workers for many industries and supported companies throughout the process, from finding the right person to their arrival in Finland. We also handle work permits and other official processes on the employer’s behalf.
We identify the need
Every recruitment starts with us understanding the requirements of the role, the working environment and your company’s needs. The better we know the situation, the better we can find the right people.
We find suitable candidates
We map out candidates through our international networks and focus the search on the countries and regions where the right skills for the role can be found.
We assess and interview
We verify candidates’ skills, experience and language ability through interviews and, when needed, practical skills tests. The final decision is made together with you.
We take care of the practical arrangements
We handle work permits, official processes and the arrangements involved in moving to Finland, so your company can focus on its own work.
We support a successful start
Starting work in a new country is a big step. We support both the employee and the employer after the start too, so your new team member settles in and gets into the job quickly.
