Okay, that makes some sense. Never heard it though. I did try to figure out
an alternative meaning but I just didn't come up with "Want to find". I've
also heard the version "Welcome To Finland" is used when the nasty version
is explained in family-friendly context. ;)

Given the fact that many do recognize the nasty version first, I don't think
it's a very good idea to use it in a job advertisement. But wtf do I care,
I'm not looking into hiring anyone. :)
