Welcome to Santrupti Rekrytointi

Santrupti means satisfaction – when it comes to recruiting personnel from India. A partnership with us means that you tap into the largest trained workforce in the world that speaks English.

Santrupti Rekrytointi Oy is a Finnish recruitment company that provides both white-collar and blue-collar workers for various sectors like the metal industry, the HoReCa sector, the logistics sector, shipbuilding, the construction industry, and housekeeping. Santrupti Rekrytointi India is the sister organisation in India that takes care of the local activities in India.

We know both the Indian and Finnish work cultures and lifestyles well as our founders are Indians living in Finland and Finns living in India. We understand the challenges that arise when people from different backgrounds and cultures work together. We know the typical characteristics of Indian people and understand what Finnish employers expect. That is why we know how to find the right employees that fulfil the needs of each employer.

Since we are having our own talent pool in India and we take care of the shortlisting of applicants for specific jobs ourselves, we can ensure applicants’ ethical and fair treatment during the selection process. Those Indian recruitment partners that we occasionally use have been selected based on their ability to reach the specialized experts in India. We only work with partner companies that share the value of ethical and fair recruitment. We and all our partners are committed to follow ILO’s ‘General Principles and Operational Guidelines for Fair Recruitment and Definition of Recruitment Fees and Related Costs’ and Henkilöstöala HELA ry’s ‘Rules for the Recruitment of Foreign Employees for the Personnel Services Sector’.

Indian manpower – the preferred choice in many domains and countries

India has an English-speaking workforce of 350 million people to choose from. The spectrum of Indian professionals who have already migrated from India is wide: IT engineers, accountants, chefs, hospitality workers, doctors, nurses, welding professionals, CNC workers, housekeeping professionals, logistic professionals, drivers, shipbuilders, agricultural workers, factory workers, construction workers, and many others. The list of professions is long, and already more than two million Indians work outside Indian borders in the US, Europe, Australia, and the Middle East.

Indian software engineers form the backbone of many leading technology companies in the world. Indian entrepreneurs are responsible for 50% of all start-ups in Silicon Valley in the US. In the Middle East, both the construction industry and the healthcare system are built on Indian professionals and labour.

In Finland, Indians are already the fifth largest group of foreigners (Tilastokeskus, 2021) and their numbers are growing fast as in the year 2022 Indians were the third largest group of foreigners migrating to Finland.

The Indian government has the vision to make India “The Skill Capital of the World”. India cooperates with countries with a shortage of young and educated workforce as India has a young population with nearly 500 million (1/3 of the population) educated people below 35 years old.

The government of Finland has identified India as one of the most potential countries of origin for labour-based migration. A joint declaration of intent regarding immigration and mobility was signed in December 2022 between the Ministry of Labour and the Economy of Finland and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of India.

We make recruitment outside the EU/ETA area easy for You

Santrupti Rekrytointi specialises in recruiting personnel from outside the EU/ETA area. We know well every step in the relocation process to Finland. You need to have a vacant job and commit to assisting your employee in relocation and orientation to work and life in Finland. The final task is to get your employees and their families to integrate well into Finnish society so that they are solving your workforce needs also in the long term.

Each individual assignment starts when you provide Santrupti with a detailed breakdown of each vacant position. The specification shall have sufficient information, such as a job title, description of the work, salary & other benefits, required skills & education, language skills, and any other special requirements for the job.

Santrupti shall ensure that the personnel it provides have suitable professional qualifications and skills to carry out the work. We introduce one or more suitable candidates who match as closely as possible the specification. We assess each candidate’s CV, educational and work certificates, and we interview each candidate before introducing them to you.

You select employees based on the documents we have provided, interviews conducted by you (if desired), and live-streaming videos, if appropriate. Ultimately, you are responsible for the final selection of an employee and after the employment decision, you shall provide a written employment contract, where the terms shall be in accordance with the applicable collective agreement.

Santrupti assists both the employee and the employer with the residence permit process. Once the employee receives the residence permit card, Santrupti arranges the travel from India to Finland. At the same time, you shall ensure that the initial furnished accommodation and workplace in Finland are ready to receive the employee and that local travel arrangements are made from Helsinki-Vantaa airport to the accommodation.

You shall assist the employee with the statutory registrations (HETU and the municipality of residence, foreigner’s ID card, tax card, as well as KELA registration and card) and opening the bank account with digital identification.

You need to organise the orientation to the work, provide all necessary tools, supervise the employee’s work, and ensure that all employment-related statutory requirements are met, such as payment of remuneration, statutory pension and employee insurance, as well as occupational healthcare.
