Computed from job data signals — not reviews
Also tracked, not yet weighted in
Score is based on salary competitiveness from posted bands (where we have enough listings), remote and hybrid flexibility, hiring stability over time, and growth signals from role mix and hiring volume trends. Benefits and ad-level transparency are omitted from the headline number until those feeds are wired into scoring. How we calculate this
What people say online
Summarized from public Reddit, Suomi24, and forum discussion
Kairest Oy is a personnel leasing company with a long history in Finland. Employee experiences are mixed and vary significantly over time. Earlier reports (2007-2013) were generally positive, highlighting punctual payments, fair pay based on skill or collective agreements (TES), and a good volume of available shifts. However, a more recent account (2025) describes the company as a poor employer, citing a lack of orientation, insufficient time allocated for tasks, and wages that are lower than those paid to direct employees at the same worksite. Some users note that the nature of the work often involves irregular shifts and short-notice call-ins, which is typical for rental work.
