How to create a presentation position

Log in to Job Market just as you would log in as an individual client. Logging in is done with strong identification using online banking codes or a mobile certificate.

When you want to create a presentation position, you must select the company role when using the e-service. If the company you want does not appear in the role selection list, check if you have the necessary authorisations to represent the company. More information about authorisations is available on the page Login to Job Market Finland and authorisations.

After selecting the correct role, you can choose Company services in the top right corner and then Presentation positions.

A presentation position is not a publicly open vacancy, but rather just a job duty visible to the employment authorities. The authority can search for suitable candidates for the presentation position among unemployed jobseekers.

Location

In an employment relationship, the municipality is selected based on the location address. You can change the location if needed if the place where the work is performed is not the same as the employer’s address.

In temporary agency jobs and recruitment commissions, the exact location of the place of work is defaulted to the address and municipality of the selected employer or client. You can change the location if needed if the place where the work is performed is not the same as the employer’s and client’s address.
