Free support for individuals and companies affected by the conflict in Ukraine

When words cannot fully express how one feels, hopefully actions can add to that and make more of a difference. We at International Fox Agency are saddened and concerned due to Russia’s attack and war on Ukraine. Hailing from Finland, another country with a long border and complicated history with Russia, we can only imagine how horrible the situation is for Ukrainians and everyone directly affected by this.

We offer free consultation to individuals affected by the conflict who wish to explore the option of relocating to Finland or need advice on mobility within the European Union as well as to companies who need help with HR questions related to the employment of such individuals. We can advice you on immigration, finding accommodation, accessing local services, employment law, etc. You can best reach us by email contact (at) internationalfoxagency.com. Information for those relocating to Finland is also available in our free e-service PocketRelo.

We also acknowledge that this is disheartening for Russians around the globe, who are not to blame for the whims and actions of Russian leadership. We hope that even in this terrible situation we can steer clear of abusive words and actions towards those who do not deserve it.

As part of our effort to help, we have donated to the emergency response coordinated by the World Organization of the Scout Movement together with the World Scout Foundation and in close collaboration with the Eurasia and European Scouting Regions and the National Organization of the Scouts of Ukraine (NOSU) to respond to the unfolding conflict situation in Ukraine. This conflict will impact millions of people. We chose this option since the both of us founders are girl guides and trust the international guide and scout movement to find and help those in need in the affected region.

If you too can help in any way, please join us in doing so today.

Sincerely,

Kirsi and Tanja

Kansainvälisen rekrytoinnin opas

International Fox Agency tarjoilee hyviä uutisia juuri teille arvoisat työnantajat! Läppärimme sauhusivat läpi talven ja tuloksena on komea tietopaketti kansainvälisen rekrytoinnin tueksi.

Kansainvälisen rekrytoinnin opas kattaa kansainvälisen rekrytoinnin koko kaaren aina haun käynnistämisestä asettautumispalveluiden hyödyntämiseen. Opas sisältää runsaasti vinkkejä parhaista käytännöistä ja antaa työantajille pohdittavaa omiin käytänteisiin liittyen. Opasta voi hyödyntää niin ensimmäistä rekrytointia suunnitteleva kuin jo kokeneempi konkari.

Toivomme oppaan auttavan yhä useampia yrityksiä palkkaamaan kansainvälisiä osaajia. Ymmärrämme hyvin, että ulkomaisen osaajan palkkaamiseen liittyvät yksityiskohdat ja prosessit voivat tuntua haastavilta. Tehdään siis prosessista yhdessä helpompi!

Kansainvälisen rekrytoinnin opas toteutettiin saumattomana yhteistyönä Kokka kohti Suomea -hankkeen kanssa. Kirjoitus- ja päivitystyön aikana työhön osallistettiin laaja joukko viranomaisia ja tietysti eri alojen yrittäjiä. Opas on päivitetty 2023. Suuret kiitokset kaikille työtämme kommentoineille ja tekstiämme lukeneille tahoille!

Tulemme mielellämme kouluttamaan ja keskustelemaan kansainvälisestä rekrytoinnista, sekä tietysti esittelemään opasta!

Ihanaa kevättä kaikille!

parhain terveisin,

Kirsi & Tanja
