Our Recruitment Process — From Profile to Placement

1. Job Profile Development

We begin by working closely with your team to develop a comprehensive job profile. This goes beyond a standard job description — we define the exact skills, experience level, certifications, language requirements, cultural fit, and personality traits that will make a candidate successful in your specific environment. Our consultants visit your worksite when possible to understand the working conditions firsthand.

2. Candidate Sourcing

We source candidates through multiple channels: our internal database of 3,000+ registered professionals, active recruitment campaigns across EU job markets, professional networks in Estonia, Finland, and the Baltic states, industry-specific job boards, referrals from our existing workforce, and partnerships with vocational training institutions.

3. Screening and Assessment

Every candidate undergoes a thorough screening process. This includes detailed skills assessment through practical tests where applicable, verification of all certifications and qualifications, background checks and criminal record verification where legally permitted, reference checks with previous employers, structured interviews assessing both technical competence and soft skills, and language proficiency evaluation for multilingual positions.

4. Candidate Presentation

We present a shortlist of 3-5 thoroughly vetted candidates for each position. Each candidate profile includes a detailed skills summary, work history, certification copies, our assessment notes, and interview recordings if requested. We only present candidates we would confidently recommend.

5. Interview Coordination

We coordinate interviews between candidates and your team, managing scheduling across time zones and providing translation support if needed. We can arrange in-person interviews, video calls, or practical skill demonstrations depending on the position and your preferences.

6. Offer and Onboarding

Once you select a candidate, we assist with offer negotiation, employment contract preparation, relocation logistics, and initial onboarding support. We remain involved during the probation period to ensure a smooth transition for both you and the new employee.
