Does your company offer services that support international recruitment? Enroll as a service provider on the Work in Finland website.

Registration is free, but your company must have a Reliable Partner certification. The certification is provided by Vastuu Group, and costs €140 per year. 

Criteria for recruitment service providers

Does your company meet the following criteria?  

  • The company provides services to support international recruitment (e.g., international employment services, training to support international recruitment, settling-in services, or consulting services to promote international recruitment)   

  • the company has at least an A credit rating  

  • the company’s contractor’s obligations and liability details are in order  

  • the company has a permanent establishment in Finland in accordance with Section 13 a of the Income Tax Act (1535/1992)  

  • the company commits to Employment Industry Finland’s guidelines on responsible recruitment of foreign employees.  

 

The credit rating is checked using the Rating Alfa classification provided by Suomen Asiakastieto. When the registration is complete, your company will appear on the page of service providers within 10 business days 

 

In addition, we request inspection reports from the Regional State Administrative Agency (AVI) regarding all new partners. Violations identified by AVI, such as issues related to the employment or hiring of foreign workers, may prevent the company from being accepted onto the trusted partners list. Inspection reports may also be requested from AVI outside the context of list approval.

 

The recruitment company and its client agree on all assignments related to international recruitment between themselves. Business Finland does not participate in this process and is not responsible for it in any way.
