Bureau Veritas

Suvi is used to wearing many hats in her job and has experience in recruitment services sales and implementation. For her, the most important criterion in choosing a partner is experience and evidence of successful recruitment. "When I choose a recruitment partner, I look for experience, vision and know-how in modern recruitment. For me, modern recruitment is agile, transparent and focused on the candidate experience. It is important that the partner is someone who is not in training in recruitment. When making my selection, I want to be aware of who is responsible for contacting, attracting and
discussions."

The most important thing for the final result is to find the right person for the job within a sufficiently short timeframe. "The significant value is in the time saved. I have the whole spectrum of HR work on my desk and it can sometimes be difficult to carve out enough time in my calendar to find the more challenging experts. Today's recruitment partners need to be able to create other value for their clients. As part of the recruitment process, I want the partner to have an insight into the market, the typical aspirations of talent and, for example, insights into the employer image of our company."

Lessons and findings from assignments with Nawia

"A major reason for the success was Hannu's open-minded approach to identifying the right people for us. He managed to find us a candidate who might not have believed himself to be experienced enough for the job and would therefore certainly not have applied for the vacant position himself."

A good customer experience was created because Suvi felt informed about the process and Hannu's approach was very proactive and consultative. "I had confidence all the time that things were moving forward and I could focus on my own work."

What phenomena and debates in the world of work are currently on your desk?

The global situation has been quite turbulent for many years and predictability has
deteriorated. "This is reflected in recruitment, for example, in the fact that talented people are increasingly
interested in the financial situation and future
prospects of their future employer." According to Suvi, Bureau Veritas has a strong position in this regard, as the company's long history and stability of operations give its own staff peace of mind."In addition to the economy and future prospects, I would highlight the willingness and opportunity for continuous training within the company and the company's genuine desire to take care of its employees."

One challenge is travel, which is an integral part of certain roles. "Finding talent for a job that requires a lot of travel is challenging and, especially during busy periods of life, it is challenging or even impossible to combine. This is definitely a challenge for us when looking for people for certain positions."

The work on leadership development is on Suvi's desk every week. The world of work is changing and people's needs are changing. "Leaders are increasingly required to focus on individuals and to lead in a conversational way as millennials and younger take over the labour market. It is no longer enough to give orders; you also need to be able to justify changes in an understandable way."
