Succeed in International Recruitment
Hiring the first international specialists is often a major step for a business. Hiring an international employee is not, however, too much harder than hiring a Finnish employee. With good planning and implementation, it is possible to find an employee who, in addition to their skills, provides the business with a fresh perspective, valuable contacts and a completely new kind of competitiveness. In this guide, we bring up the key things that should be taken into account when hiring an international employee.

STEP 1
Find an International Employee
Where and How to Market a Job Opening?
The mobility of labour has increased as specialists are found abroad in many sectors. On the other hand, many businesses start their internationalisation “from home”, using the talent pool already located in the region. See our tips for finding an international employee either locally or globally.
STEP 2
Apply for Residence Permit
What an Employer Should Know About Permit Process and Registration?
Hiring an international employee is not harder than hiring a Finnish employee, but you have to officially sort out a few things. As an employer you cannot apply for a residence permit on behalf of an employee, but you can advise him/her as to which form to complete. There are several forms for employment-based residence applications.
STEP 3
Make Use of Financial Assistance
Subsidies for Recruitment and Onboarding
Employers may receive financial assistance for recruitment and onboarding costs in certain situations. European Union, government or community subsidy can be a valuable tool for assisting job-seekers into work, but it can also help employers build their business.
