The service

Headhunting for critical Helsinki-region hires

We help Helsinki-region companies fill specialist, key-person, and leadership roles when an open job advertisement is not enough.

Headhunting combines targeted talent-market mapping, personal outreach, and careful evaluation.

Our team includes a recruiter working in Helsinki, and we have completed recruitment assignments for companies in the area.

We combine local market knowledge with a national network, so the search focuses on people relevant to the role.

Thank you very much for the super smooth and excellent recruitment process 😊 I received a call from the company regarding the outcome of the process. Wishing the entire reQruitz team a great weekend!

Applicant

The recruitment process was very smooth. The first interview had a pleasantly relaxed atmosphere, and the following stages were clear thanks to the smooth and fast communication. Naturally, getting used to a new job takes time, and now after six months I’m happy to notice that the role feels better and more like the right fit for me every day. I can warmly recommend you to other candidates. The role description and tasks match the job posting very well, as well as my own expectations.

The collaboration is easy, flexible, and carried out with professionalism and strong customer service. The initiation of assignments has been smooth, and we have been kept excellently informed throughout the process. The cooperation brings genuine added value, and we have found extremely good candidates for our roles.

Minna Rehn

HR Director

We were quite happy with the process through all stages, from start to finish. reQruitz may not be the biggest player on the market just yet, but they delivered like one. Competitive service delivered as promised with a good outcome!

Robin Rosenberg

Country Manager

We decided to try reQruitz after having searched for almost two years for someone to join us in mechanical maintenance work on our vessel. We had tried paid recruitment advertising and asked around through our networks – it genuinely felt like we had turned over every stone trying to find a person for this highly specialized role that requires years of experience to master. I had almost lost all hope. Kasper and Milena took on the challenge systematically. They asked questions from many different angles and, most importantly, they genuinely wanted to get to know me and my company thoroughly. After about two weeks we started seeing results, and after roughly two months we had finally hired the perfect person for the position. This gave me the energy to move forward and develop my business further. I recommend reQruitz to ALL entrepreneurs who need help with recruitment or who simply want to take it easy and let skilled professionals handle things.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Headhunting is a targeted recruitment method that maps the relevant talent market and approaches qualified professionals, including people who are not actively looking for a new role. Through tailored, discreet outreach, we reach specialists, key professionals, and leaders whom traditional job advertising often misses.
No. We regularly deliver headhunting and recruitment assignments in Helsinki, across Finland, and internationally. Many searches are cross-border when the right specialist, key professional, or leader is outside the local market. Our recruiter in Helsinki provides local presence, while our network supports searches across Finland, Europe, and other relevant markets.
The service is particularly suited to difficult-to-fill specialist, key-professional, and leadership roles where advertising alone is unlikely to reach the right people. It is also used for confidential, business-critical, and international recruitment assignments where selection quality, pace, and long-term fit matter.
