Startax was looking for two business-critical senior leaders: a Procurement Director and a Finance Director. The situation called for more than traditional recruitment. They needed a partner who understands the business, can identify talent at the right level and steers the process to completion in a controlled way.
Equita's role was clear from the start: to bring structure, vision and experience to recruitment.
“Equita identified and understood our needs”
We structure each search according to the client's situation. We do not start from the role, but from the context.
”We are delighted to have been able to support Startax in this important recruitment. Our team's strong industry expertise and first-hand management experience successfully supported the process.” more at Antti Tiitola, Chairman of the Board of Equita Talent Partners.
When the understanding is right, the candidates are right. Then recruitment is not guesswork, it's a precise job.
“The process was smooth and efficient. It proceeded within the agreed timeframe and Equita identified and understood our needs and found the right candidates for us to interview.” - Mikko Vuolle, Managing Director, Startax
Understanding the business matters
Executive search is the ability to see what kind of expertise will move the business forward right now. Comparing CVs is not enough.
“It was all about identifying the needs of our organisation and understanding the business.” - Mikko Vuolle
The Equita team is made up of experienced leaders and we want to bring experience from different industries and roles to the table. This is reflected in how quickly we get to the essentials and how we build the search around it.
“We felt heard”
Cooperation feels, at its best, like a genuine partnership. It is extremely important to us that both the client and the candidate are kept informed of how the process is progressing throughout the project.
“The cooperation was customer-oriented and as a customer we felt heard. Equita responded to our needs and brought the added value we needed to the executive search with its expertise.” - Mikko Vuolle
Our way of working is strongly based on open dialogue and a clear picture of the situation. These are never seen as additional services, but as part of our identity.
Fluidity comes from structure and experience
A good process shows in how smoothly it runs. When roles, responsibilities and progress are clear, the client can easily trust the process and focus on the decisions.
“The cooperation was natural and smooth. I felt that we got what we ordered.” - Mikko Vuolle
“Equita brought much-needed expertise”
We want to use our experience and the strength of our team to bring insights into what kind of expertise could build the next phase. Our expertise and experience has been much appreciated
“Equita brought much-needed expertise to our executive recruitment and managed the recruitment process on time. They kept us well informed of the progress of the process, which added to our sense of control.” - Mikko Vuolle
