Job Market Finland will be updated on Thursday the 7th of May from 4.30 pm. to 5 pm. The update can cause disruptions when logging into the service. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
Do you need more employees to handle the tasks of your organisation? Has the workload increased more than the number of personnel? Hundreds of thousands of job seekers visit Job Market Finland, of which 30,000 have an active job applicant profile. Could your organisation be the next step for them?
A job posting is a traditional and effortless way to search for an employee. Submitting a posting at Job Market Finland has been made easy. You can also browse job applicant profiles posted by job seekers without publishing a job posting. By utilising job applicant profiles as part of your recruitment process, you may save time and money.
At Job Market Finland you can also find job applicant profiles of international skilled workers. You can best reach these job seekers when you make a job posting in English and choose English as the working language of the job. This way you can find international skilled workers both from abroad and already living in Finland.
Many people look for jobs at Job Market Finland using an anonymous job applicant profile. We encourage job seekers to focus on describing and highlighting their skills to promote fair unbiased recruitment at Job Market Finland. Be bold and send a message to an anonymous profile describing what kind of a job you are searching an employee for. This does not yet bind you to anything as an employer.
Saving job applicant profiles makes it easier for you to form a list of the most suitable job seekers for the position you are hiring for. You can contact job seekers easily through Job Market Finland.
When you create a job posting, Job Market Finland's artificial intelligence-based functions help you describe the skills needed for the job. Artificial intelligence suggests keywords suitable for you based on the information you fill in.
Log in to Job Market Finland in the same way as you would log in as a private customer. Logging in is done using strong authentication with online banking credentials or a mobile certificate.

Please select your situation below and check what authorisation you need. Below you can also find instructions for obtaining authorisation. Job Market Finland is not part of the authorisation process; it is a function between the authorising company and the authorised person in Suomi.fi.
Please remember that the authorisation must be removed separately if, for example, the person you have authorised changes jobs and you no longer want them to represent your organisation in Job Market Finland. You can remove the authorisation in the Suomi.fi e-Authorizations service.
You do not need separate authorisation to use Job Market Finland. You can use all the facilities of our service on behalf of your company.

When you create your job posting in English, the number of potential applicants increases. These simple instructions help you attract skilled employees to your open positions around the world.
If proficiency in a language other than Finnish or Swedish is sufficient for the open position, you should create the job posting in English. Select English as the language of the job posting and write the job posting in English. Remember to also select English as the working language. Both the language of the job posting and the working language are selected at the beginning of the form. When you create the job posting in English, you will get the best possible visibility for the position both among international job seekers already living in Finland and talents living abroad.
In general, the recommendations for job postings in Finnish also apply to English job postings for international employees. In the job posting, it is advisable to give detailed information about the content of the position, the competence required for the position and what you offer to an employee as an employer. When attracting talent from abroad to Finland, you should also tell slightly more about the organisation and give a general description of the area where the workplace is located. You can use various marketing materials that present Finland when creating a job posting. They are publicly available on the Finland Toolbox website.
