The 3 Best Finland PEOs & Employers of Record (EOR)

Doing business with a Finland PEO/EOR

As the most sparsely populated country in Europe, Finland has a population of 5.5 million people. Culturally, people in Finland are known to be reserved in temperament, and are known to be honest and reliable in character. It is not uncommon for Finnish people to value oral agreements to be as binding as written ones, although from a legal standpoint businesses should always provide a written contract.

Additionally, business meetings in Finland typically run on schedule, skipping the polite chatting that commonly takes place in other countries. Take a look at the benefits of using a PEO in Finland:


Why Use a PEO in Finland?

The best practices for efficiently obtaining work visas and expanding your business internationally with legal compliance often involve a large amount of time and money being allocated for foreign companies to begin operating in Finland. A PEO provider can simplify this process for your business by managing the hiring and onboarding processes, leaving your company the time and resources to focus on your core business functions. Local employment specialists can also help foreign companies navigate the complexities of secure office rentals, managing employment contracts, and more.

How to Hire in Finland

We recommend writing a strong and clearly-worded employment contract in Finland that specifies the terms of the newly hired worker’s compensation, benefits, and requirements for termination. Both the offer letter and employment contract in Finland should state the salary in Euros, as opposed to a foreign currency.

It is important to note that because Finland’s esteemed public health care system is often said to be one of the best in the world, approximately only 3-4% of care is provided by the private health care system. While in many countries providing supplementary insurance benefits is seen to be as an essential resource to employees, it is not required to be provided, nor is it heavily sought after in Finland.

As every culture presents unique hiring challenges and opportunities for foreign companies, taking advantage of the recruitment channels with the highest potential is especially important for the process of hiring talented professionals in Finland. This is where your company can likely benefit from working with a PEO in Finland that already possesses expertise in the local regulations and possesses in-country connections.

To successfully hire in Finland, it can also be valuable to partner with a recruitment agency to simplify and expedite the process of hiring talented professionals in the country. Global PEOs will sometimes have an in-house recruitment agency that will assist with the process of recruiting in Finland. There are several benefits of using a recruitment agency, which include:

  • Having access to local recruitment experts who have familiarity with the Finnish markets and the most effective hiring practices.
  • Partnering with an organization that is designed to understand the specific goals of your business and that can create a recruitment search process that is designed to fulfill your exact needs.
  • Being able to take advantage of the recruitment agency’s local legal expertise to ensure that your business is compliant with the local laws and regulations in regards to employment. 

When you partner with a PEO that also offers recruitment coverage, your company is able to receive ongoing support that includes the hiring and onboarding management, HR and payroll services, and more valuable resources in addition to those provided in the initial recruitment phase. 

Below we have listed our recommendations for the 3 Best Finland PEOs and Employers of Record. These organizations all have outstanding reputations for being able to hire and manage talented professionals in Finland as well as ensure full compliance with local employment regulations.
