News 2009-2010
Hi. After a long long time, I am bringing some news. So what has been going on for almost 2 years?
January – June 2009
I returned back from Denmark to Finland and started looking for work in recruitment. I participated on recruitment project debates with political leaders, got invited and even hired into planning committees and helped to shape the design of regional labor attraction strategies by bringing my views of a person from outside of Finland.
Nevertheless, I did not have good luck with securing a full-time position within the recruitment business in the Nordics. The job that I had got before was cancelled due to the crisis, and so was the case with pretty much everything else.
So finally I accepted the idea that it’s probably necessary to leave the Nordics behind, at least temporarily, and go to Europe to start my career. Which what I successfully did.
June 2009 – October 2010
I left after a beautiful Juhannus (Midsummer) in Finland. I went to join the pharmaceutical division of a UK company NonStop Recruitment. I started my career in sales as a trainee resourcer. I successfully headhunted and recruited people in Switzerland, France, UK, Denmark and Sweden and developed my networks across the whole Europe.
I became the most successful trainee so far and was promoted into a Junior Consultant position. At that time, I volunteered to participate in a project of establishing a completely new division, which was recruitment to recruitment. Therefore, with a great colleague of mine, we started developing a brand new business within a business. We were headhunting headhunters all over UK and Europe within the sector of Renewable Energies and Environment.
November 2010 – present
It was, nevertheless, time to move on and get new experience in a new environment. At the end of 2010, I joined Stamford Consultants in Switzerland to recruit again for the pharmaceutical sector. So currently I live in the capital of the European pharma industry, Basel.
