Smooth Landing in Finland – Employer of Record and Relocation Services

Challenge

Apstec Systems was launching operations in Finland and needed a partner to support their international growth strategy. The transition required Apstec to be able to employ staff in Finland, and they also wanted assistance with integrating employees arriving from abroad.

International recruitment brought significant challenges: administrative matters, the complexity of permit processes, and practical arrangements burdened the organization. Apstec needed a partner who could take responsibility for the entire process and ensure that new employees could get started quickly and smoothly without bureaucracy or uncertainties..

Solution

Apstec Systems utilized Barona’s Employer of Record solution, which was tailored to Apstec’s specific needs. Barona managed the employment relationships for staff working in Finland, and Finland Relocation Services, Part of Barona, consulted each employee and their family on relocation.

Relocation began before arrival

The relocation service started before employees arrived in Finland with an initial assessment, where core and additional services related to relocation were agreed upon. Barona’s experts handled all preparations: they applied for necessary residence permits and registration of residence rights, booked appointments with authorities, and guided employees through the process.

Smooth arrival and settling into daily life

When employees arrived in Finland, relocation specialists provided local expertise and coordinated a smooth arrival. They directed employees to the right contacts and assisted with administrative matters:

  • Obtaining a personal identity code
  • Registering address and municipality
  • Familiarization with Finnish social security
  • Applying for Kela card and European Health Insurance Card
  • Obtaining a tax card
  • Opening a bank account
  • General information about Finland, the banking system, and electronic identification

Additionally, the service supported spouse employment and arrangements related to school or daycare placement for children, and provided assistance with housing search and temporary accommodation when needed.

We were very positively surprised by Barona’s attitude, ability to think proactively about our needs, and patience as we decided on transition phases and prepared our staff. And of course, all the answers to our millions of questions. I’m very happy to give positive feedback about Barona’s work.”

Complete solution frees time for what matters

The comprehensive solution enabled staff to continue working without interruption and start work faster when daily essentials were in order.

Barona’s relocation service freed up time for Apstec’s HR and management to focus on what matters, as they didn’t need to familiarize themselves with work-based immigration authority requirements or practical arrangements. One reliable partner handled everything needed without fragmented partial solutions or scattered responsibility.
