Attachments can be added to the application if the recruiting employer has included the option to add attachments in the application form. Adding attachments is therefore dependent on the employer's recruitment process. The maximum size for attachments is 2MB per file.

You can submit a substitute application in Kuntarekry in two ways:

1. By filling out the employer's own substitute recruitment application form

2. By saving an open substitute application in the Kuntarekry system

Always check first if the employer you are interested in has published their own substitute recruitment announcement (option 1) and apply through that. Employers review substitute applications variably and interview substitute applicants according to their own practices. For more information, read how to apply for substitute work (in Finnish).

Once you have been interviewed and have agreed with the employer to start substitute work, you can receive job offers through the text message service or the substitute calendar. You can adjust your availability for substitutions in the availability calendar, which can be found under the Substitutions tab. More information on adjusting availability can be found here.

You will always receive detailed information about the procedures from the employer, but most often job offers are sent via text messages. If you want to learn more, read information about receiving shifts and in case of problems refer to instructions (in Finnish) here: help with problems sending text messages.

Always send your tax card directly to your employer. Kuntarekry is not an employer, only a platform for applying for jobs and receiving shifts. Kuntarekry does not participate in employers' recruitment or administrative activities in any way. The employer is also responsible for providing employment certificates, etc.
