Recruit like a pro service offers advice and guidance on acquiring labor and being an employer. The service does not provide advice on, for example, growing a business. The purpose of the service is also not to act as a recruitment service. For recruitment services, you can contact your local TE office and ELY Centre for company development services. The service is free of charge for the entrepreneur.

Typically, entrepreneurs who have worked as an employer for 1–5 years or whose company employs no more than 5 people have benefited the most from this type of advice. If necessary, more detailed information can be requested. Companies that are larger or older than this can in some cases be accepted in the service based on the company's service needs.
