Finland’s appeal as a tourism destination in Europe continues to draw millions of visitors every year, growing steadily larger with each passing year. It is no surprise that Finland has become synonymous with winter experiences, impressive summer festivals, and individual cultural experiences. It is also not surprising that, because of this consistent growth, hotels, resorts, and airports are all having to adjust to a growing need for seasonal workers.
For employers in Finland, securing reliable seasonal staff has become not just a luxury but a necessity. Dynamic Staffing Services partners with hospitality and aviation employers to quickly fill positions with quality talent so they can provide excellent service and support through peak travel periods year-round.
Why Seasonal Hiring is Critical in Finland
- Tourism Growth: Finland is becoming increasingly popular with international visitors, particularly from Spain, Germany, China, and the Gulf. A larger number of visitors equals more demand for hotel rooms, flights, and other amenities at an airport.
- Seasonal Peak Times
Winter months (December—March): Holiday tourists visiting to ski, go on a Northern Lights tour, or visit Santa Claus Village in Lapland.
Summer (June–August): Tourists come for festivals, lake tourism, and the experience of the midnight sun.
These peak periods place enormous pressure on hotels and airport resources, respectively, and seasonal staff are essential to guarantee the tourist experience.
- Service Expectations: Tourists expect seamless and efficient airport service and exceptional hospitality at their accommodation. Without extra seasonal staff, employers risk long waits, service that does not meet expectations, and potential revenue that does not get made.

Where Hotels Need Seasonal Talent Most
Hotels and resorts all around Finland will need extra workforce during the busy high season of winter and summer. As our hotels and resorts come out of the pandemic and begin to staff up for the season, we are already hearing about a serious shortage of manpower. The most popular positions that will always have demands are as follows:
- Front Desk Staff – This position will greet the guests, check them in, check them out, and manage bookings.
- Housekeeping Staff – Have all rooms cleaned and ready on time.
- Restaurant & Bar Staff – Includes waiters, bartenders, chefs, and kitchen help.
- Event Staff – Events like conferences, weddings, and seasonal celebrations.
- Spa & Wellness Staff – Comes into play with massage therapy, attendants, and customer service.
- Tour Coordinators – This will depend on the excursions, for example, just the excursions seeing the northern lights, guiding tourists, etc.
Because hotels will have seasonal surges, they will have to be proactive to get the workforce needed in place. Recruitment partnerships with agencies like Dynamic Staffing Services are critical.
Where Airports Need Seasonal Talent Most
The volume of passengers through Finland’s airports, especially at Helsinki Airport and Lapland’s airports, grows increasingly in the winter tourist season. Seasonal workers are required most for:
- Ground Handling – Baggage handlers, ramp agents, and other aircraft support.
- Security – Passenger screening, safety checks, etc.
- Check-In and Boarding Agents – Managing queues and assisting with passenger flow.
- Customer Service – Assisting international guests with inquiries.
- Cleaning and Maintenance Staff – Maintained a clean facility during high-traffic months.
