Employers across Finland are no longer advertising open positions through official job portals due to a surge in applications driven by mandatory job-seeking rules. The change follows legislation introduced in 2022 requiring unemployed people to apply for up to four jobs per month, regardless of the availability or relevance of the roles. The rule was introduced under Sanna Marin’s government and is set to be tightened further by the current administration led by Petteri Orpo.
