Softability is a Finnish IT consulting company. International recruiting is everyday thing for Softability, but implementing relocations takes a lot of time and resources, thus getting a reliable partner to help with relocations was important. NextLink was chosen to partner as NextLink offers comprehensive relocation services Finland.
In Global Recruitment, recruitment is only the first part. The relocation of a person is at least as important as the recruitment itself. Therefore, in relocations the candidate’s experience must be thought as much as in recruitment, if not even more. By using NextLink as a partner, people at Softability have more time to do their own work, and at the same time it is ensured that new employees have a great experience moving to a new country!
Paul and NextLink’s Relocation Services Finland
Meet Paul, who recently moved to Finland to work as a Senior Software Engineer for Softability. NextLink helped Paul through the entire relocation process and strived to make moving to a new country an effortless and memorable experience for Paul and his spouse.
NextLink provided following services for Paul and his spouse:
- Relocation consultation
- Visa and residence permit
- Arranging apartment in Finland
- Airport pickup
- Helping with Personal ID, Tax card, Bank accounts & Insurances
- Helping to start with daily life
- General support after arrival to Finland
Paul’s thoughts about NextLink’s services:
“The duo of Julius and Joonas provided me with a top-notch relocation experience that was filled with remarkable professionalism and unmatched knowledge. They made the entire process of relocating to a new country feel smooth and stress-free. From the very start, it was apparent that they were dedicated to ensuring that I had the best experience possible.”
Experience is everything
Moving to a new country is one of the biggest things in life. This change can be exciting, interesting, but also scary at the same time. This means that a person can go through a rollercoaster of emotions, because it is exciting to see the world and get into a new environment, but at the same time, familiar faces and safety net can be missing. Therefore, at NextLink we focus very much on the employee’s experience during the relocation, but also afterwards. We strive to make the relocation process itself a great and efficient experience, but we also strive to create a ”familiar and safe environment” for the employee in Finland.
Extremely fast process
Experience is important, but so is efficiency, because Softability have to get the employees to Finland on a fast schedule. Paul’s visa and residence permit we got in less than a week.
Here are Paul’s thoughts regarding efficiency:
”They began by handling my visa application with an impressive level of efficiency and attention to detail. As someone who is not entirely familiar with the process, their expertise was invaluable. They took care of all the necessary paperwork and kept me informed of the progress every step of the way.”
Benefits for Softability as NextLink’s implements Relocation Services Finland
For Softability, working with NextLink brings two obvious advantages. People at Softability can focus on their own daily work, and at the same time new employees will get a great relocation experience. Here are Janne’s (CEO of Softability) thoughts:
“For Softability, getting competent people also from abroad is a reality. In that process, we need a helping hand to make our new foreign recruits to feel like home throughout the recruitment & re-location process. Wonderful people from NextLink have really managed to make our new team members feel welcome all the way to Finland.”
Why work with NextLink?

In this case, it is important that the process runs smoothly, but soft skills and values must also be in place. We are not just one service provider among others, instead we really care about the people we work with and understand the importance of our service in the big picture.
