Meaningful work to
tackle global challenges
Recruiting world-class researchers
VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland is one of Europe’s foremost research, development, and innovation organisations, owned by the Finnish state. With a workforce spanning over 40 nationalities and expertise across deep tech, sustainable technologies, and applied science, VTT operates at the frontier of global innovation.
When VTT experienced a significant surge in recruitment volumes, they needed a trusted partner who could step in quickly, integrate with their existing talent acquisition team, and maintain the quality of hire their research programmes depend on.
They chose Intelligent Employment.
Our approach
IE deployed an embedded RPO model, working directly within VTT’s talent acquisition function as an in-house recruitment consultant. Rather than operating at arm’s length, our team became a seamless extension of VTT’s HR capability, supporting the full recruitment lifecycle from briefing through to offer.
Our consultants ran kickoff meetings with hiring managers, shaped and edited job advertisements, delivered targeted LinkedIn marketing campaigns, and coached hiring managers throughout the selection process, ensuring a consistent, high-quality candidate experience at every stage.
Specialist sectors covered
IE provided critical capacity at a pivotal point in VTT’s growth, enabling their talent acquisition team to manage high volumes without compromising on quality or speed. Roles that had been difficult to fill were progressed efficiently, and VTT’s hiring managers gained a structured, supported process they could trust.
