TyoHunt vs Mol.fi: Is There a Smarter Way to Use Finnish Government Jobs?

Mol.fi was renamed Työmarkkinatori a few years ago, though the old name still gets searched constantly — so let's use both. Whatever you call it, it's the Finnish public employment service's own job portal, and by raw volume it's one of the largest listing sources in the country. It's also one of the hardest to search well.

Why Työmarkkinatori (Mol.fi) matters

Finnish employers register openings with TE-palvelut as a matter of course, which means coverage here — especially outside the Helsinki metro area, and especially in the public sector, healthcare, and traditional industries — is broader than any private job board's. If you only check Duunitori or LinkedIn, you are structurally missing a large share of what's actually open in Finland right now.

Why it's hard to use well

• It's built for benefits administration first. The portal exists primarily to connect unemployment services with job search obligations — job discovery is a secondary function bolted onto that core purpose, and the UI reflects it.
• Search and filtering are clunky compared to purpose-built job boards — fewer smart filters, less intuitive categorization.
• No fit scoring of any kind. You get a list matching your keywords, full stop — no signal on which ones are actually worth your time.
• No cover letter support. You're on your own for every application.

A smarter way to use it

The fix isn't to avoid Työmarkkinatori — its coverage is too good to skip, particularly for healthcare, public sector, and roles outside Helsinki. The fix is to stop searching it manually. TyoHunt pulls listings from Työmarkkinatori automatically alongside eleven other sources, scores each one against your CV, and skips the part where you'd otherwise be scrolling through a government portal's search results by hand.
