Tiivistelmä
Case study was implemented for Posti in the mail delivery section, since it has a high number of foreign worker and the emphasis was on the recruitment process of foreign workers.
The purpose of my thesis is to discuss the recruitment process of foreign workers and show the value foreign workers can bring to the Finnish labour market. The research also discusses the different bureaucratic requirement and their variation within EU citizens, non-EU citizens and refugee/asylum seekers and the reasons for them. Research discusses the cultural implications and integration processes for foreign workers.
The empirical part of my thesis includes the data from Posti’s workers in mail delivery section. Interviews were conducted with the recruitment manager at Posti and with a foreign employee in the mail delivery sector at Posti. I analyze the recruitment process at Posti and indicate knowledge required for it. Recruitment questionnaires, as well as Geert Hofstede’s theory and the data about immigration to Finland, are used as secondary sources in the empirical parts. I have used the secondary sources also to discuss about the value foreign workers bring to the company.
In addition, my thesis discusses the various requirements and legal aspects of hiring a foreign worker and challenges and benefits coming with it.
Based on the research, high amount of foreign worker indicated the process is already working but some small suggestions and an integration program was suggested for the future.
In conclusion, my thesis offers a view on how recruitment process is implemented at practical level in a relative big Finnish company
