jobY
-THE NEW EMPLOYMENT PLATFORM for immigrants of Finland
'Cause jobs are our business!
What is jobY?
JobY is an employment platform directed to young immigrants of Finland aged 16-29. It consists of an app and a support team.
​
JobY is in development stage and we are currently looking for investors.
​
​
Why jobY?
We know how difficult it is for young immigrants to get work in Finland. Every forth immigrant in Helsinki is unemployed. We are determined to change that by connecting these young people with employers, easily and efficiently.
How does jobY work?
As a young immigrant searching for a job you need to contact us and we will invite you for an interview. You will get a profile on the app. You can suggest yourself to jobs listed and the employer will send you confirmation. After doing the job, we will pay salary in to your account and the job gets listed on your digital jobY-CV which will be shown on your profile.
​
As an employer you can list jobs on jobY and we will connect you to people eager to do the job.
How jobY was born
Our story
Maiju had noticed through her work with asylum seeker teens and studies of Bachelor of Social Sciences that it is very difficult for young immigrants in Finland to find work. She got an idea to use an app and a support team behind it as a combination for them to get employed. She heard about a Start Up-course and a competition offered by Nuori Yrittäjyys ry (Young entrepreneurship) together with various polytecnics and thought it would be the perfect opportunity to start developing the idea.
​
It was Kick Off day and after a long day, the time to form the teams of different businesses finally came. Maiju was determined to find team members. There were two guys, Early and Jarkko, still wondering which group to join. She took the advantage and pitched them the idea. It didn’t take long when the guys decided to join -and both of them even happened to be from the same school of Diak studying social sciences as well! Funnily enough, the guys and her had never met before, but now it seemed like the perfect time and opportunity to unite forces. That’s the moment that jobY was born. By combining our three different personalities with our common love for helping people, jobY has grown from just a little speck of light in to a shooting star. ;)
