What Finitec does

Finitec Oy is a privately held Finnish IT freelance talent agency founded in 2005, headquartered in Helsinki at Kaisaniemenkatu 1 BA. The company operates a direct-matching marketplace that connects vetted independent IT professionals — software developers, designers, architects, project managers, cybersecurity experts, data/AI practitioners, and DevOps engineers — with enterprises needing project-based technology staff augmentation. Its core operational asset is a curated roster of 30,000+ experts with active monthly dialogue maintained across 1,000+ specialists, from which it has placed 2,000+ freelancers since inception. The Backstage portal provides freelancers with profile management and assignment visibility that spans four Sevendos Group entities: Finitec, AI Roots (data/AI), CyberDo (cybersecurity), and CORE design agency.

Finitec generates revenue by earning commissions on placements of freelancers with enterprise clients, with fees negotiated per project based on expertise, duration, and market rates; software developers reportedly earn approximately 60% more as freelancers than in permanent roles. The company does not use resellers or distributors — its go-to-market is direct enterprise sales through specification calls, public gig listings that double as organic SEO channels, and content marketing via a freelancer-story blog. Named enterprise customers span energy (Fortum, Wärtsilä), construction (Skanska), logistics (Posti), retail (Fazer, Kesko, Martela), forestry (Metsä Group, Tornator), insurance (Pohjantähti), financial services (Samlink), and technology (ABB, F-Secure, Telia, Sanoma, Reaktor, Caverion), with twenty-plus recognizable Finnish and Nordic brands visible on its customer roster.

As a subsidiary of the Sevendos Group — a Finnish digital services conglomerate with 500+ specialists generating €70M+ revenue across three countries — Finitec benefits from cross-company capability delivery while operating with relative commercial autonomy. The group consolidated €54M of revenue through Finitec in 2025. The company is GDPR-compliant, is not publicly listed, has no recorded venture funding, and is led by Managing Director Pekka Hackspik alongside a sales-heavy management team.

Broad incumbents

• Robert Half: Global staffing and consulting firm with a dedicated technology practice placing contract and full-time IT professionals. Comparable in the IT talent intermediation model and enterprise customer focus, though operating at global scale rather than regionally.
• TietoEVRY: Largest Nordic IT services and software company, providing digital transformation, application services, and consulting. While much larger and broader than Finitec, it competes for the same enterprise IT-services wallet and offers staff augmentation as part of its portfolio.
• Hays: Global recruitment and workforce solutions firm with deep coverage of IT, engineering, and professional contracting across Europe, including the Nordics. Comparable in freelancer/contract placement business model and enterprise customer base, though at much larger scale.
• Devoteam: European IT consulting firm specializing in cloud, cybersecurity, data, and digital transformation. Comparable in skill-domain coverage (especially via the CyberDo-like cyber and AI Roots-like AI/data practices) and enterprise target segment.

Direct peers

• Barona: Largest Finnish private employment and staffing group, providing IT, engineering, and professional staffing across Finland. Direct head-to-head competitor for IT freelancer placement in the same Finnish market; notably, Finitec's DPO contact is even housed at Barona.
• Ework Group: Public Nordic-listed IT and digital consulting/staffing firm headquartered in Stockholm, providing consultants and freelancers to enterprise clients across the Nordics. Closest public-market comparable in business model, target customer (large Nordic enterprises), and freelancer-placement focus.

• Academic Work: Pan-Nordic staffing and talent solutions provider, particularly strong in IT, engineering, and graduate placement. Comparable in business model (intermediary between talent and enterprises) and geographic focus (Nordic region).

Emerging players

• Toptal: Global freelance talent platform for software developers, designers, and finance experts, serving enterprise clients with vetted remote talent. Comparable in placing vetted IT professionals into project engagements, though operating via a digital-first platform rather than a relationship-led model.

Regional players

• Gofore: Finnish-listed digital transformation consultancy with 1,400+ experts across Finland and Europe, serving enterprise clients in similar verticals (energy, public sector, manufacturing). Comparable target customers and Finnish-anchored delivery model.
