The Silk Road Recruitment Process
Signing Up
To begin your journey with us, please sign up for one of our weekly online orientations for nurses or caregivers. You will receive an email with different links to attend one of the upcoming orientation via Zoom. Make sure to check your spam folder if you are having issues finding the email!
Consent Form
During the orientation you will be asked to fill in a consent form to receive your log in credentials for our self study platform, which will aid you in acquiring basic Finnish language skills. Make sure the email you provided us in the consent form matches the one you used to sign up for the orientation with. This enables us to easily follow and support you during your Silk Road Journey.
Interview
Upon submitting your documents via our detailed information form we will review your documents to ensure that everything is in order and that you meet all requirements. Once approved you will receive your link to book your interview.
Language Studies
Once you pass the interview and have all your documents checked once more you will begin your language studies in earnest. We understand that your schedule may be hectic, so our classes are designed to be flexible and accommodate your needs.
Picking an Employer
Depending on the staffing requirements provided by our employers you might already be offered a contract after six weeks of study. Incase your applicant profile does not fit the staffing specifications of our employers it might take a little longer to receive your contract and commence your residence permit process. Upon having been matched with one of our employers, having completed the language training, and acquired your residence permit, you will be ready to embark on your journey to Finland.
Welcome to Finland!
Upon arrival in Finland, we will be waiting for you to pick you up from the airport and bring you to your new apartment. We will also assist you in setting up bank accounts, registering with population services, and familiarizing yourself with your new workplace. We are here to make the transition to your new home as smooth as possible.
