Another year of conquered obstacles, accomplished goals, and, overall, growth. As an employer, our most significant strength was adapting to the changing employment landscape. Despite how challenging things were, at IE, we experienced our biggest year of growth as an organization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this blog post, we would like to share some highlights that made this year special for Intelligent Employment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. NEW EMPLOYEES&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the beginning of this year, there were only two employees in IE\u2019s Helsinki office. As our operations grew through new customership, we soon found ourselves with two more Headhunters, a Customer Success Manager and Social Media Marketing Manager joining our team of creative individuals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Growing from two to six employees during a year of uncertainties is a huge accomplishment for an organization like ours. As an employer, we adapted to the changing employment landscape and hired ambitious and like-minded people, which created a great dynamic at our workplace. As stated by many of our employees: \u201cIt feels like we\u2019ve known each other for years\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/intelligentemployment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Our-Team-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27248\" width=\"583\" height=\"583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/intelligentemployment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Our-Team-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/intelligentemployment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Our-Team-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/intelligentemployment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Our-Team-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/intelligentemployment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Our-Team-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/intelligentemployment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Our-Team-550x550.png 550w, https:\/\/intelligentemployment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Our-Team-500x500.png 500w, https:\/\/intelligentemployment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Our-Team-1000x1000.png 1000w, https:\/\/intelligentemployment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Our-Team-700x700.png 700w, https:\/\/intelligentemployment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Our-Team.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 583px) 100vw, 583px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. NEW OFFICE IN SWEDEN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also did our first expansion in the Nordics by opening an official trade business and IE\u2019s office in Gothenburg, Sweden. The year 2021 started with one employee running the IE\u2019s Swedish branch. Fast forward to this moment, the IE\u2019s Swedish team now includes two more employees and a third one starting soon in 2022.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is just the beginning of the IE\u2019s Swedish branch. As the labor market is becoming more candidate-driven, we are constantly looking for recruitment professionals to join our team and help future technology companies find the right talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/intelligentemployment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Sweden-.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27249\" width=\"618\" height=\"373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/intelligentemployment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Sweden-.png 975w, https:\/\/intelligentemployment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Sweden--300x181.png 300w, https:\/\/intelligentemployment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Sweden--768x463.png 768w, https:\/\/intelligentemployment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Sweden--700x422.png 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. ENHANCING EMPLOYEES\u2019 DEVELOPMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With more employees comes more responsibility (as it always should be). As an employer, we apply our company values \u2013 CARE, TRUST and DARE \u2013 to every aspect of IE\u2019s business, especially our employees. We care for our employees\u2019 well-being, work-life balance, and professional development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, this year, we have addressed the main motivators for candidate employment, including security and satisfaction at the workplace. At IE, we find it crucial to provide our ambitious employees with the opportunity for flexible working hours, remote work, weekly feedback sessions, and team bond activities to maintain their happiness at work. We have also invested in technology and software tools to support learning development and enable the greatest success at work for our employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. SUPPORTING GOOD CAUSES&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IE was created based on our values \u201cCARE, TRUST and DARE\u201d, which applies to everything we do as a company. Helping others in need and contributing to the community in a sustainable manner has been significant parts of our operations. Here are some of the good causes IE supported this year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Collaboration with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.siistibiitsi.fi\/en\/front-page\/\">Siisti Biitsi<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IE Finland\u2019s team celebrated World Environment Day On the 4th of June 2021 by heading to Hietaranta Beach, one of the largest beaches in Helsinki, to help clean it up<strong>.<\/strong>&nbsp;The activity was implemented together with our partners Clean Beach (Siisti Biitsi) \u2013 a beach clean-up and litter collection program organized by the Keep the Archipelago Tidy Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Charity to <a href=\"https:\/\/hopeyhdistys.fi\/\">Hope Ry<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IE participated in the charity organized in collaboration with Spaces Bulevardi and Hope Ry to support those in need by providing hygiene and toiletry products. Hope Ry delivers goods for disadvantaged families and those that have overcome the crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Charity to <a href=\"https:\/\/renewable-world.org\/\">Renewable World<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sustainability is always a good option. Instead of using traditional paper Christmas cards, we decided to use a more environmentally friendly approach and send e-cards to our customers and stakeholders. The selected option supports the work of Renewable World, a charity that provides support in rural areas worldwide to store electricity through renewable energy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/intelligentemployment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Good-Causes-1024x513.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27256\" width=\"899\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/intelligentemployment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Good-Causes-1024x513.png 1024w, https:\/\/intelligentemployment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Good-Causes-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/intelligentemployment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Good-Causes-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/intelligentemployment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Good-Causes-1536x769.png 1536w, https:\/\/intelligentemployment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Good-Causes-1000x500.png 1000w, https:\/\/intelligentemployment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Good-Causes-700x350.png 700w, https:\/\/intelligentemployment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Good-Causes-1100x551.png 1100w, https:\/\/intelligentemployment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IE-Good-Causes.png 1810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 899px) 100vw, 899px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5.
