When is a relocation service the right choice?

You recruit from abroad and want to minimise delays and risks at the start of employment.

You hire international talent only occasionally and do not need your own relocation process in-house.

Your HR team needs a partner to manage authority processes and practical day-to-day arrangements.

You want to make sure the employee gets a good first impression and settles in quickly – even before their official start date.

A relocation service makes sense when your organisation recruits international talent but authority requirements, scheduling or practical arrangements place too much strain on your internal resources.

The service works best when you want to ensure a smooth start without HR having to take responsibility for every detail.

Benefits of the relocation service

Our relocation service ensures your international employee can start work quickly and confidently – without bureaucracy or uncertainty. We handle permits, housing arrangements and family support, saving you time and securing an efficient start.

We manage permits and authority processes so your HR and line managers do not need to navigate complex procedures themselves.

Employees can begin work sooner when the practical basics are in place. This has a direct impact on productivity from the very first weeks.

One partner

You get everything you need from a single, reliable partner – no fragmented solutions or divided responsibilities. The service scales to your needs.

How does the relocation service work?

Relocation is best considered at the planning stage of an international recruitment process. A well-managed relocation process is a positive signal to candidates in the international talent market.

Our specialists take charge of the entire process. Your HR team does not need to familiarise itself with immigration authority requirements, relocation procedures or practical logistics. We manage the whole thing from start to finish.

Initial assessment and planning

We discuss your organisation’s and the employee’s needs together,
and agree on the core and optional services required.

Preparations before arrival

We apply for permits, book appointments and provide guidance to
the employee ahead of their move.

Arrival coordination

We take care of the personal identity code, banking and insurance matters, and ensure initial accommodation runs smoothly.

Settling into everyday life

We help with home and family arrangements, provide practical
guidance and offer cultural orientation when needed.

Relocation service packages

Our relocation service is built around a core package and a selection of optional add-on services. The service always adapts to the client’s needs – you choose exactly which elements you want to outsource. This makes the solution flexible: it suits both individual hires and larger-scale international expansion programmes.

Pricing is based on the scope of services selected and the employee’s country of origin. The service can be tailored to a single recruitment or built as a scalable solution for broader international growth.

Core services

The core package includes:

  • Registration of residence permit or right of residence
  • Address and municipality registration, and obtaining a personal identity code
  • Guidance on the Finnish social security system and how to apply
  • Application for a Kela card and European Health Insurance Card
  • Obtaining a tax card
  • Guidance on opening a bank account

More ways we can help

Alongside our Immigration & Relocation Services, we offer a full range of support for international talent.

Finnish language training

A shared language is an important part of settling in. If you want to support your international employees in learning Finnish, explore our language training options.

English language training

We help teams establish a working language in environments where Finnish is not the common tongue. Programmes can be tailored for customer service, team communication and more.

International recruitment

We provide global recruitment solutions across industries, drawing on decades of experience. We find the right talent in international markets – for both small-scale and large-scale needs.

Cultural training

When team members join from different countries, they each bring their own background, habits and expectations. Recognising and preparing for cultural differences can lead to stronger collaboration, better trust and a more effective working environment.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. The relocation service can be initiated at the planning stage. As a rule of thumb, the earlier the process starts, the better the scheduling and preparation.

Many of our clients use the service precisely because internal resources are not sufficient for operational delivery. We ensure a smooth process and free up time for other priorities.

No. The service scales to your situation and business needs. It works equally well as support for a single hire or as a broader partnership.
