Recruitment Support & International Talent Sourcing
Your flexible recruitment partner for finding talent beyond the Finnish labour market.
Need help hiring, but not a full-time recruiter? I work as your external recruiter or alongside your HR team. I find candidates, review applications and coordinate the steps from vacancy to interview.
For small businesses without an HR department, companies that hire occasionally, and teams that need extra recruitment capacity. If your local search is not enough, we can reach candidates internationally.
From €700 / month
The monthly scope depends on the number and complexity of vacancies and the support you need. It is not a fixed all-inclusive package. For more intensive hiring, we can agree a separate project or direct recruitment model.

Targeted sourcing in Finland and through international networks and recruitment channels.

You keep the hiring decision. I help you build the candidate pipeline. This is recruitment support, not staffing.
Finding people is becoming a business problem
When companies have projects, orders or production capacity but not enough skilled people, recruitment becomes more than an HR task. I help companies build practical international recruitment solutions around their actual workforce needs.
I work primarily with Finnish companies experiencing skilled labour shortages and looking for reliable international talent.

- Manufacturing
- Metal & Welding

- Maintenance
- Logistics

Natalia brings unique ideas and takes responsibility for delivering every part of a task at high quality. She adapted my first CV to the field I was applying for, gave many useful suggestions, and helped me understand what really matters. A skilled HR professional who can see opportunities and help others see them too.
I worked with Natalia after finishing a Finnish language integration programme. She gave me a real overview of the market and showed what a typical candidate profile looks like - the modern meta for getting hired in Finland and Europe in 2026. Always happy to recommend her.
We studied psychology together at St. Petersburg State University. Natalia stood out for her dedication, natural management skills and strong focus on HR. She was invited to the faculty examination committee after graduation - a clear sign of the respect she earned. A knowledgeable, strategic and driven professional.
Hearing Natalia's own networking and internship story made everything feel possible. The way she explained how Finnish recruiters think genuinely shifted my mindset. Her honest CV feedback was exactly the push I needed to show up more authentically and professionally.
Natalia is a highly knowledgeable HR professional with strong expertise across HR, talent acquisition and analytics. She regularly shares well-structured, insightful materials and connects strategic thinking with practical insight. Consistently adds value to the HR community in Finland.
