Working together. Courage. Freedom. Responsibility.
Founded in Finland in 1994, we at FRS have led the way for immigration and relocation services in Finland for almost 30 years. Our roots are in the family business, but these days, we are a company with a wide service offering covering everything that supports our customer's growth in the field of global mobility. Since the summer of 2021, FRS has joined working life company Barona as an independent business unit.
Our team consists of global mobility, immigration, and relocation experts, who all share a passion for helping talent and their families throughout the life-changing moving experience. Personal relocation experience is deep in the soul of our company. Our team of experts holds the knowledge to overcome the challenges of international mobility and the empathy of truly understanding things from talents' perspectives. A diverse team with a wide range of language skills, intercultural understanding, and experience further complements our skillset. The success of our clients is our passion. We can and want to help our clients succeed in international relocations.
After 10 years, FRS now boasts a team of 5 employees and has expanded its services from the capital area to include Oulu and Tampere. Although there is now some competition in the market, FRS remains the marketing leader thanks to its focus on providing relocation services.
Having been in the market for two decades, FRS has created long-lasting client relationships by providing comprehensive relocation services, including cultural training and spouse support programs. Today, as international recruitment becomes more common in Finland, more businesses follow FRS's lead and recognize the importance of supporting new employees and their families.
As the world rapidly changes, it's crucial to stay aware of the ever-changing restrictions. FRS has demonstrated their professionalism during the pandemic by successfully assisting their clients in relocating their employees despite the challenges posed by the pandemic.
It's a known fact that Finland needs more international talent to fill its skills shortage, and the working life company Barona is preparing to expand its volumes in immigration. With Barona's recent acquisition of a majority stake in FRS, the two companies have joined forces to lead the way in international talent acquisition and make a real impact. FRS's years of experience in providing exceptional relocation services, combined with Barona's expertise in working life services, create a dynamic partnership that is poised to address Finland's talent needs and help businesses thrive.
As we enter 2022, a new chapter begins for FRS as the family-owned business steps aside and welcomes a new CEO from Barona. With Barona Relocation now being migrated to the team, FRS is ready to embark on a new storyline and continue its mission to provide top-notch relocation services and support to clients around the world.
Currently, FRS boasts an extensive range of services that cater to the complete journey of international recruitment, supporting our clients' growth in global mobility. Our expanded skill set enables us to provide an all-encompassing service offering that differentiates us from our competitors. With 38 employees on board, our growth has been remarkable, and our ability to provide a unique and comprehensive range of services is unparalleled. We are excited to continue significantly impacting Finland's international presence.
We create happier working life by working together. We share our competencies and expertise with our colleagues, employees, and customers.
We respect each other’s opinions and strive to find the best solutions together. We make it visible and celebrate the achievements we have accomplished together.
We give people the freedom to be exactly who they are and to work in their preferred ways by following the principles we have set together.
With us, people do not have to hide any aspects of their lives, not a religion, not a hobby, or the ones they love. We believe in people and the working life designed by them.
Together we work to promote an equal and ethical working life. We encourage transparent operations that support diversity and honor differences.
In our eyes, everyone deserves to find their own place in working life. We are not afraid to take up difficult matters when necessary. We encourage everyone to do responsible actions and find time for each other to make that little effort that can make quite a big difference to someone else.
We are part of Barona, and the people of Barona are known for their responsible actions in working life.
