Recruitment services for companies – we’ll help you find the right talent

Do you need employees? We offer employers free services related to recruitment and employee onboarding. You can get practical help with recruitment as well as information and guidance on applying for various forms of support. The service is free, easy, and does not bind you as an employer to anything. Often, the work starts with an unpaid work trial, during which both the employer and the employee can test the smoothness of their cooperation.

Recruitment services are specifically aimed at hiring unemployed job seekers. When you hire an unemployed job seeker, you can receive financial support for up to more than half of the recruit’s costs in the form of a wage subsidy.

Here’s what to do:

  • Consider the description of the open position, for example, what kind of role you are looking to fill and what skills the candidate should already have.
  • Call Business and employer services on weekdays from 9 a.m to 4.15 p.m at +358 14 569 1332 or leave a contact request via the form.
  • We can interview the most suitable job seekers for your company and send you their profiles.
  • We can also open your job position for public application on the Job Market Finland's website or for hidden job search.
  • If you are interested in hiring an international expert, our specialists can help you post the job advertisement on the EURES network (European Employment Services) portal, allowing you to expand recruitment beyond Finland’s borders.

Candidate search

The candidate search is a quick and cost-effective way to find out if there are people among the job seekers who are suitable for the role and meet your search criteria. We will save you time by finding suitable candidates for you. You will receive a ready-made shortlist from which you can choose and invite candidates to an interview.

The candidate search is a popular service that has been used for a long time by Jyväskylä-based Foodin, for example.

Work trial

A work trial is a risk-free way for an employer to consider hiring a new employee and getting to know the potential employee. In a work trial, the employee receives the same unemployment benefit they receive while unemployed and the employee is not employed by the employer. A work trial agreement is concluded between the job-seeker and the employer. The duration of this work trial is 1–6 months.

The purpose of the work trial is to familiarise the parties with each other and the work. The job-seeker is not required to have previous knowledge of the job in question, as the employer instructs and supports the person in getting acquainted with the job. 

Find employees and job postings on the Job Market Finland website

Explore the employer services and various recruitment opportunities on the Job Market Finland website. Have you already heard about the possibilities of work trials, wage subsidies, and candidate searches for hiring?

Job Market Finland also features job seeker profiles created by the job seekers themselves.

If you want to publish an open job position or search for a suitable employee among the job seekers who have published their profiles, you need to log in to Job Market Finland. 

You can authorize another person to act on behalf of your company through the Suomi.fi service or request authorization to act on behalf of the company yourself. Authorization is not needed if you are the CEO, a sole trader, or an officer with sole representation rights.

In a job posting, it is important to:

  • Create a title and description that accurately describe the job, as Job Market Finland suggests suitable job seeker profiles based on them.
  • Select the required skills, as Job Market Finland uses them to suggest the job to suitable job seekers.
  • Job seeker profiles are visible to employers anonymously, but you can contact an interesting job seeker through the service.

Recruitment events

The City of Jyväskylä’s Business and Employment Services offers companies several easy event options to reach potential employees. There are both company-specific low-threshold events and joint, industry-specific recruitment events available.

Participation in the events is free for companies and designed to be as easy as possible. It is enough to just show up and, if desired, bring something like a roll-up banner. The city’s employment services invite job seekers with suitable skills and educational profiles to the events.

The event concepts available to employers are Helppo Rekry, Rekry Expo, Rekryralli, and Rekry Pop up.
