About Studentwork
The story of Studentwork began in 2004. In a small student apartment in Helsinki, two students decided to take the matter in their own hands and get jobs for themselves and their friends. Today, we have grown into one of the Nordic region's leading staffing and recruitment companies in our niche. But we still have the incentive and personal appeal. Our business idea is to match employers and graduates at the beginning of their career, from short staffing assignments to permanent full‑time positions. We collaborate with all Nordic Universities and have built up extensive networks of well‑trained students and experienced graduates.
