Headhunting in Vantaa

We are identifying key members of Vantaa’s operational management team

We specialise in executive search in Vantaa. Experienced leaders in logistics, retail and manufacturing are few and far between, and the very best are already in post.

Our office is located at Itämerentori in Helsinki. We can arrange meetings either at our office or at the client’s premises in Vantaa.

Headhunting is about listening, not hunting. The best connections are forged when you understand both the company and the individual.

In what situations is headhunting used?

Most commonly, this is the case when an open recruitment process has already been tried and failed to produce suitable candidates, or when the role is so specialised that there are only a handful of suitable people.

In that case, there’s no point in waiting for applications. We’ll assess the field and approach those people who might be suitable for the role.

How we carry out headhunting

We also reach out to shift workers

Key personnel in the operational side cannot be reached during office hours and do not monitor job advertisements. We arrange contact times to suit their schedules, not ours.

We’re also looking for those who aren’t looking

The best candidates don’t read job adverts. Headhunting is the skill of recognising potential even when it isn’t yet apparent.

An industry expert on board right from the start

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.

The candidate experience is part of quality

For a candidate, being involved in the process is always important. It has a direct impact on the impression you leave as an employer.

What is the skills market like in Vantaa?

Key personnel in logistics, retail and manufacturing do not sit in front of a computer screen all day. They are rarely available during office hours and even less likely to respond to job adverts.

We tailor our contact to fit in with their daily lives. The first conversation might be a brief phone call after their shift, and that’s enough to work out whether it’s worth taking the matter further.

People in this sector tend to change jobs only after careful consideration, so confidentiality is a prerequisite for initiating a discussion.

What is headhunting in practice?

First, we identify who in the sector might be suitable for the role. Only then do we approach them, one by one and on a personal basis.

We’ll present you with the options and explain the reasons behind them, support you during interviews and, if necessary, carry out reference checks and suitability assessments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have an office in Vantaa?

Our office is located at Itämerentori 2, Helsinki. We do not restrict our searches to the Helsinki metropolitan area; instead, we carry out assignments throughout Finland. We meet candidates in Vantaa, either in person or remotely, whichever suits them best.

How much time should I set aside for the search?

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.

What is the difference between headhunting and executive search?

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 Vantaa.

Together we will find the right direction.

Can the search be carried out confidentially?

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.
