SERVICES FOR RECRUITERS AND HR PROFESSIONALS HIRING INTERNATIONAL TALENT IN FINLAND
Our workshops, self-guided online courses, and spousal support services are suitable for the attraction, recruitment, onboarding, and employee retention phases of your international talent attraction programs. See below how our services can help you in these different steps.
Our self-guided online courses and free resources are in English. Other services we deliver in Finnish or English as needed.
TALENT ATTRACTION
When you are trying to attract international talent to apply for your open positions, it is not enough to give them information about your company and the open position.
You also need to tell them about Finland in general. You are, after all, asking them to move to a completely new country.
We can help you do that with our self-guided online courses, our blog, and our free resources.
At this stage, it’s also good to think about how you can help the trailing spouse in their career development in Finland. We have created spousal support options for your potential new hire to choose from.
RECRUITMENT
At this stage, your prospects want to learn as much as possible about Finland.
Our self-guided online courses can provide them with much of this information.
They can find further information in our free resources and in our blog.
If you haven’t already now is the time to tell your new hire how you are also going to support their partner find employment or other forms of personal fulfillment in Finland. We have created spousal support options you can use.
ONBOARDING
In the onboarding phase, you as an employer will help the new recruit to get to know their responsibilities, and your company values and practices.
We, in turn, can familiarize them with Finnish working life in general via our self-guided online courses.
Again, they will find further support in our free resources and our blog.
If you have chosen this option, this is the time when we continue working with the trailing spouse with their career aspirations and possible transition issues. See our inspiration catalog for more information.
RETENTION
The success of international recruitment often depends on the happiness of the accompanying family. It also depends on whether the international talent is happy at and outside work.
For this purpose, we have additional self-guided online courses and special support for trailing spouses.
Another important aspect is that your company culture is ready for an increasingly international workforce. We can help you with that as well with our training services.
If your international talent is struggling with the cultural adaptation process our one-on-one coaching services can help with that. Check out our inspiration catalog for more information.
