Top 10 Job Sites in Finland for Recruiters and Employers

The Finnish job market is characterized by a high level of education, strong work-life balance, and advanced technological capabilities. These factors make it attractive to both local and international employers searching for top talent. However, recruiters still face challenges due to significant labor shortages, particularly in healthcare, IT, and education sectors, as reported by the European Labour Authority for 2023-2024.[1] That said, to navigate this difficult process, you need to use the right job sites in Finland that provide advanced search features and access to passive candidates. In this guide, we have created a list of job boards, both local and global platforms, for you to reach your next top talent.

Making the Most of Job Posts for Finland’s Talent

To use Finnish job portals effectively, you should tailor postings to the local market by including Finnish keywords, salary ranges, and clear job requirements, as many candidates filter listings using these details. You should also treat your job ads like web content and apply SEO for recruiters’ best practices. Use relevant keywords in your job title and description, structure content using headers and bullet points, and include meta tags or schema markup when possible to boost visibility in search engines. Use each platform’s search and filtering tools to identify passive candidates and reach out directly when possible, especially on sites with CV databases such as LinkedIn or Jobly. Scheduling regular reposts or updates helps maintain visibility, as most Finnish portals prioritize recent listings. Finally, track performance data. For example, view-to-apply ratios and adjust posting times, job titles, or descriptions based on what generates the highest engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I post a job in English and still reach Finnish-based candidates?

A: Yes. Many Finnish job portals allow you to post in English or select English as the working language; for example, Job Market Finland supports English postings and helps reach international skilled workers by showing your ad to job seekers whose skills match your criteria.

Q: Do Finnish job portals allow sourcing passive candidates?

A: Some do. Job Market Finland permits browsing anonymised applicant profiles and sending messages to candidates, and portals integrated with CV databases or resume search tools (e.g. via global sites or local Finnish portals) allow you to proactively reach out.

Q: Will changes I make to a job posting be reflected immediately across all platforms?

A: Not always. On Job Market Finland, edits must be made in the original system used for posting (or via the portal itself) and may take up to about 15 minutes to propagate; if you edited it elsewhere, the link between versions can break.

Q: What must I check when hiring international talent through Finnish job portals?

A: You must verify that the candidate has a valid residence permit or right to work in Finland; EU/EEA/Swiss citizens typically have unrestricted work rights, while third-country nationals often require specific permits.

Q: Is there additional public support or tools for international recruitment in Finland?

A: Yes. Finnish public services offer support such as EURES (a European mobility network with CV bank access and job posting) and the Work in Finland employer advice service, which is a free resource for employers seeking to recruit foreign labor.
