CASE STUDY AND STORIES

Pioneering Innovation

Our Solutions | RPO Leasing

Utilising the Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) model, we supported VTT's recruitment function, delivering streamlined and efficient recruitment processes. This approach enabled VTT to identify and attract experts and speed up the recruitment processes. We supported VTT across sustainable and new and emerging technologies, such as computing, material science, circular economy, aerospace, nanotechnology, energy storage, and hydrogen, supporting VTT's cutting-edge research and development initiatives.

" IE worked with us as an in-house consultant recruiter until we were able to hire more people to our Talent Acquisition team. They took care of recruitment related tasks such as kickoffs meetings with our hiring managers, job advertisement sparring & editing, posting and targeted LinkedIn marketing and coaching hiring managers throughout the process. IE was an invaluable support for us when we had a surge in our recruitment volumes."

Your Questions, Answered

Don't see your question here? Don't hesitate to reach out. We're always happy to discuss your specific needs and how we can tailor our services to best support your success.

Q: What roles can you fill in the Nordic renewables space?

We cover the full spectrum of renewable energy roles, from project
development and engineering through to operations, HSE, commercial,
and executive leadership. Our specialism extends across solar, wind,
hydro, and battery energy storage, and we regularly place cross-sector
talent from adjacent fields including data centres, advanced
manufacturing, and climate technology.

Q: Do you only recruit candidates with direct renewable energy experience?

No, many of our placements come from adjacent industries. We focus on transferable skills, bringing talent from sectors like data centres, engineering, and software into renewable energy and wider energy transition roles.

Q: How quickly can you deliver hard-to-find or cross-sector talent?

Timelines vary depending on the role, but our targeted, headhunting approach allows us to move quickly, especially on niche or cross-sector hires where traditional methods fall short.

Q: I'm not based in the Nordics. Can you still help me?

Absolutely. While the Nordic region is our primary focus, we serve renewable energy companies worldwide. Many of our clients are international firms with operations or projects in the Nordics. Wherever you're based, if you have renewable energy hiring needs in the Nordic countries, we're here to help.

Q: What sets Intelligent Employment apart from other renewable energy recruiters?

Three things: Nordic specialisation, a deep talent network, and a
proven track record. We are headquartered in Helsinki, are active
members of Renewables Finland, and have placed talent with some of
the region's most recognised energy companies including Enercon,
Valorem, Fortum, and Neoen. We also recruit across adjacent sectors
including BESS, climate technology, and grid infrastructure, so we
understand where talent moves within the broader energy transition.

Q:Do you offer any additional services beyond recruitment?

Yes! We're more than just recruiters. We're your end-to-end talent partner. In addition to our core recruitment services, we offer employer branding consulting to help you attract top renewables talent, assessment tools and RPO. Whatever your talent needs, we're here to help.

Why Intelligent Employment is Your Ideal Nordic Renewable Energy Recruitment Partner

Specialist focus and deep sector understanding. Unlike generalist recruitment firms, our expertise within Nordic renewable energy means we understand the unique engineering challenges, regulatory landscapes, and market dynamics facing companies in solar, wind, hydro, and emerging green technologies across the region.

Book a meeting now
Where others struggle, we place

The roles attracting the most interest right now sit at the intersection of sectors: BESS engineers who understand grid software, project developers who've worked across both wind and data centre infrastructure, energy trading analysts with optimisation experience. Most recruiters can't navigate that crossover. We do it regularly.

Nordic market depth, not Nordic market claims

We are headquartered in Helsinki, active members of Renewables Finland, and have placed talent with Fortum, Enercon, OX2, Neoen, and AESC. When we say we know this market, we mean the hiring managers, the candidate pool, and the competitive salary landscape, not just the geography.

Headhunting, not posting

Specialist talent in the Nordics is not actively looking. Our approach is direct and targeted; we identify and approach the right people, rather than waiting for applications. That's the only method that works at this level of seniority and specificity.
