Executive search, Finland
"The positive experience came from how genuinely interested you were in our business. It built trust that you are the right choice as an executive search partner."
HR & Sustainability Director Jaana Paajanen’s starting point was cautious. In previous headhunting experiences, both the candidate and the company had been oversold too much, and both had been disappointed. This time, the experience was different.
From the very first meeting, Executive Hunt wanted to focus on realism and understand what kind of company Toyota Material Handling Finland is: what works, where the challenges lie, and what the new leader would face. This way, a realistic picture of the role could also be conveyed to the candidates.
"The executive search process was clear, and the timeline was well thought out with a clear understanding of what happens at each stage. Communication was transparent and thorough."
Jukka Heinonen, Managing Director
Finnfoam is a Finnish family-owned company with nearly 45 years of history in the manufacturing of thermal insulation materials. The company has grown steadily throughout the 2000s: today it has eight factories, mainly in the Baltic Sea region. At the core of its growth strategy has been the consistent building of a team, even when the market situation has been challenging.
When strengthening the management team, the right people were needed for two key roles: After Sales Director and Sales Director. Executive Hunt was chosen as the partner.

"I feel that I can warmly recommend Executive Hunt as an executive search partner. They have a broad understanding of business and are able to support in many other roles as well."
