Join our growing team at Next Job Abroad!

Do you have experience in sales, customer service, recruitment, or a similar people-focused role? Are you fluent in Finnish and thrive when working independently with clear goals? We’re looking for a motivated and ambitious freelance recruiter to join our international team and help connect candidates with exciting job opportunities abroad.

About the Role

As a Finnish-speaking International Freelance Recruiter, you’ll play a key role in our international recruitment projects. This is a remote freelance position with a strong focus on performance and independence.

During your first three months, you’ll receive a paid onboarding and training period, where you’ll get hands-on guidance, tools, and support while learning our processes and building your candidate pipeline. After this period, the role continues on a commission basis – with no earning cap.

You should be comfortable dedicating around 30–40 hours per week, as success in this role depends on consistency and commitment.

Responsibilities

• Source and headhunt Finnish-speaking candidates for roles abroad
• Source and headhunt candidates in English for various language-based roles
• Screen CVs, conduct interviews, and assess candidates’ suitability
• Maintain communication with candidates throughout the recruitment process
• Collaborate with the internal team to understand client needs and job profiles
• Manage your own pipeline and work proactively to fill open roles
• Follow up with candidates after placement to ensure smooth onboarding

Requirements

• Fluent in Finnish (native or near-native level) and proficient in English
• Previous experience in recruitment (agency or international setting preferred)
• Comfortable working in a freelance, commission-based environment
• Skilled in sourcing and headhunting (especially via LinkedIn and social media)
• Self-driven, organised, and able to work independently
• Passionate about helping people take the leap to work abroad

Benefits

• Paid onboarding period (first 3 months) – learn, grow, and earn while training
• Uncapped commission after the initial period – your effort defines your income
• Full flexibility – work remotely from anywhere
• Supportive and collaborative international team
• A meaningful role helping others start their journey abroad
• Opportunity for long-term collaboration
