In addition to individual services, we use Job Market Finland’s e-services for individuals, employers and companies.
The service hours apply to our offices in Ylivieska, Kalajoki, and Nivala, as well as our telephone service. At our offices in Sievi, Alavieska, and Merijärvi, we only provide services by appointment.
Employment services support job-seeking and finding employment. Our services are open to all working-age people. We can help in various situations – whether you are a jobseeker, a student, future entrepreneur or already employed.
The E-services at Job Market Finland are the primary online service channel for employment services. In the service, you can register as a jobseeker, follow your employment plan, notify changes in your job search, and apply for labour market training or a start-up grant.
Register as a jobseeker as soon as possible – preferably before you become unemployed, but no later than on the first day of unemployment, because you can only receive unemployment security starting from the date of registration.
If you are laid-off, register as a jobseeker. This should be done on the first day of your unemployment at the very latest. You can register already before your lay-off begins or your working time is reduced. You will receive unemployment security during the lay-off period if you have registered as a jobseeker and the other prerequisites for receiving the benefit are met.
As a jobseeker, you will have an initial interview and job search discussions where you’ll prepare an employment plan together with your personal expert and monitor its progress. Your service needs will also be assessed in the interviews, and you’ll get suggestions of services that are suitable for your situation. These include job-seeking and career coaching and KOTO training as well as work and education try-outs.
Once you have decided to start a business, don’t delay contacting employment services. You can get a start-up grant for starting your business operations, or you may be entitled to unemployment security.
We offer start-up entrepreneurs support for launching and developing business activities and issue decisions on start-up grants. If you are interested in entrepreneurship, you can learn about our services and advice at Job Market Finland.
We offer help for finding and recruiting potential employees free of charge. We’ll help you draw up the job advertisement, and we will prepare jobseeker presentations and offer you information and support for hiring employees.
Job Market Finland helps you find suitable jobseekers and contact them. You can publish a job posting, browse job seeker profiles and search for experts by professional title or skills.
You can find more information at the Job Market Finland Help Centre. You can also get advice and support from employer service specialists in the employment area.
Our services for employers include employment services and recruitment support, RecruitmentTraining, pay subsidy and employment subsidy, EURES and international recruitment. We also support employers who are undergoing changes.
