Steps to hire International Talents
Educational institutions near you and their international students are often the easiest starting point when considering hiring international talents. You can trust the quality of education and the students are already familiar to Finnish society. Moreover, even the students outside the EU area have a residence permit that includes a right to work besides studies. Securing a work permit is also straightforward after graduation from Finnish educational institution.
