Job Market Finland can now suggest jobs without a published Job applicant profile

  • News

After the most recent service update on February 12, 2020, Job Market Finland has many new features. For users, the most notable improvement is that job applicants can now see the suggested job listings immediately after saving their profile. Previously, the profile had to be published for employees before job applicabts could see suitable job suggestions.

The service suggests open positions as soon as the user has filled in all the obligatory fields and saved the job seeker profile. However, the job seeker profile must still be published for employers if the job seeker wants to receive messages from employers. Employers still see published job seeker profiles as anonymous.

Competence word suggestions have been improved so that the service should suggest better suitable competences to the user than before. The way the Job applicant profile is filled will also be changed later this spring and made easier to use. One of the upcoming changes is the chance to describe your professional competence in a free text field from which Job Market Finland automatically picks suggestions of competence related words for the user to choose from.

The validity of the job seeker profile can be adjusted to 1-6 months

Until now, job seeker profiles on Job Market Finland have been public until the user has manually set the profile to unpublished or deleted it from the service.

Now the job seeker sets a validity of 1 to 6 months when publishing the profile. After the profile expires, the profile will no longer be visible to employers but the information still stays in the service and can be re-published.

All existing job seeker profiles have automatically been made valid for six months during the update on February 12, 2020.

Give feedback through the feedback bot

One of the new features of the February system update is the first version of the feedback bot. The feedback bot helps users give feedback on the site more easily than before. However, the new bot is not a chat bot so it can not help with any other issues than giving feedback. This is the first version of the feedback bot which will be developed based on received feedback.

You can still send us feedback through the Send feedback feature at the bottom of the page.
