We carry out headhunting in Espoo. Technology and engineering firms in the area are competing for the same skilled professionals, and the very best of them do not apply for jobs publicly.
Our office is located on Itämerentori in Helsinki, which is effectively on the border with Espoo. We can arrange meetings at short notice.
Headhunting is about listening, not hunting. The best connections are forged when you understand both the company and the individual.
When a vacancy has been open for too long, when applicants are coming forward but none of them are the right fit, or when a competitor has exactly the skills that you lack.
In such cases, the solution is rarely to place a new advert. Instead, it involves making a targeted and confidential approach to those who are not currently applying for anything.
Start-ups in the Otaniemi area are often looking to recruit their first professional to work alongside the founders. This is a different role from leading an established organisation, and it requires a different candidate profile.
The best candidates don’t read job adverts. Headhunting is the skill of recognising potential even when it isn’t yet apparent.
There are always at least two consultants involved in the process, and we select them based on who has experience in the client’s sector or the role in question.
For a candidate, being involved in the process is always important. It has a direct impact on the impression you leave as an employer.
Espoo’s technology and design companies employ an exceptionally large number of experienced specialists and senior staff. Many of them have been with the same company for a long time and are not actively looking for a new job.
These people cannot be reached through an advert, but only through personal contact that has something meaningful to say. That is why we define the role carefully before approaching anyone.
The situation is different in the growth companies in the Otaniemi area. There, candidates weigh up the risks and ownership issues, and these matters must be discussed openly.
It is not the stages of the process that are crucial, as they are fairly similar across different organisations. What matters is how those stages are managed.
We will define the role with you, assess the market and approach candidates personally. We will go through the options together and, where necessary, carry out reference checks and suitability assessments.
For our Espoo recruitment drive, we select consultants with experience in technology and specialist business operations. Our consultants have themselves held senior management positions, many as managing directors or heads of human resources. There are around twenty of them in the Finnish team, and experts in the client’s sector are selected for each assignment.

We are recruiting for both management positions and business-critical specialist roles.
Our office is located at Itämerentori 2, Helsinki. We do not limit our searches to the Helsinki metropolitan area; instead, we undertake assignments throughout Finland. We meet candidates in Espoo, either in person or remotely, whichever suits them best.
Our part of the process – that is, the initial screening, approaching candidates and assessing them – typically takes a few weeks. It is also worth setting aside additional time for final interviews and the decision-making process.
The steps are the same. Headhunting is aimed more broadly at key personnel, whilst executive search focuses on senior management. Read more Direct recruitment of management staff in Espoo.
Yes, and that is usually how it’s done. We do not disclose the client’s name to the candidate until both parties have a genuine interest in proceeding, nor do we advertise the vacancy anywhere.
Let’s get in touch and assess the situation. We’ll give you an honest assessment of just how large the pool of candidates for the role actually is.
