The real challenge with hiring in Finland

Hiring in Finland isn’t complex because of paperwork.It’s complex because Finnish employment is:

highly regulated
strongly employee-protective
built around long-term employment relationships

Many companies underestimate how quickly:

misclassification risks arise
notice periods and termination rules apply
informal setups conflict with local expectations

Traditional EORs often focus on contracts and payroll. They don’t take responsibility for the full employment system. Fronted does.
