  1. does that mean there could be a slight increase in hope about getting a job in helsinki if you’re from outside finland? because there’s been so much doom about jobs in finland on the internet over the past couple of years that i never even bothered trying to find anything in finland, even if moving to a nordic is my goal

  2. I’m not sure how unemployed/job-seeking natives will feel about this, but I can imagine it feels unfair. In all the posts about unemployment people almost always say “even native Finns are having trouble with getting jobs.”

    I’m also curious if there are any loopholes to be exploited, where there’s a large temporary influx of hires, followed by a low retention rate of employees (meaning companies work out that they make more off the €3000 than they lose by the employee turn around). Seems unlikely, but I never put it past corporate greed to figure something out when well-intentioned opportunity can be exploited.

  3. 3000 Euro doesn’t even worth the time to apply to this.

    Seriously bullshit. We hired an intern through EU funding and that covers 6 months of salary and all associated costs. Application was super easy and no nationality limitation…

    Some guy decided to spend 60 000 EURO on in direct advertisement, that’s all…

  4. This is bullshit, they should be providing the vouchers to hire native Finns first.

  6. What if someone get hired and after 6 months oh shit layoofff. Did the company eligible for 3k?

  7. I think this is wrong. In these tough times, native Finns should come first, and the rest of the jobs shall go to foreigners.
