Project summary
Engineering consultancy Tauno Nissinen (Insinööritoimisto Tauno Nissinen) is a well-established Finnish engineering firm. In the end of 2024, they faced a critical recruitment challenge when their long-time Financial Coordinator was set to retire after working for over 40 years at the company. With no prior experience hiring for the role, Tauno Nissinen’s MNa Mikko Yrjönen turned to TalentBee for support. The result was a successful hire that ensured a smooth transition and maintained the firm’s operational continuity.
Background and business context: Financial Coordinator is a critical role for Tauno Nissinen’s operational efficiency
Engineering consultancy Tauno Nissinen is a family-owned Finnish engineering firm specializing in project management and engineering design. Operating since the 1950s, the company has built a strong reputation, having contributed to major Finnish projects like the Länsimetro and large hospital developments. With a team of 30 professionals across offices in Helsinki and Kuopio, the firm has a focus on high-quality, innovative engineering services.
The primary goals for Tauno Nissinen were:
- Find a skilled replacement for their long-time Financial Coordinator.
- Ensure minimal disruption during the transition period.
The company faced these challenges:
- Lack of experience in recruiting for this specific, non-engineering role.
- The critical nature of the role, which required a swift replacement to maintain smooth financial operations.
These challenges were a threat to their growth and operational efficiency, as delays in filling the position could affect the company's financial management and overall business performance.
The talent problem: a long-standing, unique role tailored to the company’s needs
Tauno Nissinen's long-standing Financial Coordinator had worked in a unique role, specifically tailored to the company’s needs. The challenges included:
- Defining the ideal candidate profile: The company had no prior experience recruiting for this specific position.
- Finding qualified candidates: Finding candidates with the right mix of skills, experience, and cultural fit was challenging.
- Risk of operational disruption: The role played a critical part in Tauno Nissinen’s daily operations. A smooth handover from the previous employee to the new hire was therefore crucial to avoid any disruptions.
Exploring a solution: seeking external expertise
Tauno Nissinen decided to seek external expertise to address the challenge. The company began by:
- After reviewing internal options, they realized they lacked the capacity and expertise to recruit for their unique need – this specific financial position.
- A board member, who had worked with TalentBee before, recommended the firm’s recruitment services. This prompted the company to reach out.
- The decision-makers evaluated recruitment agencies based on their experience with similar specialized recruitment approaches and their reputation for transparent, efficient processes.
- TalentBee first engaged with Tauno Nissinen through a referral and a detailed consultation to understand the role and the company's unique need.
The decision to collaborate with TalentBee
Tauno Nissinen was impressed with TalentBee’s ability to handle the complexity and uniqueness of their recruitment needs. The decision to collaborate was influenced by several factors:
- Proven experience in recruiting for specialized roles.
- Personalized approach: TalentBee’s willingness to tailor the recruitment process to Tauno Nissinen’s specific needs resonated with the company’s values of quality and expertise.
- Transparency and trust: During initial discussions, TalentBee demonstrated a commitment to clear, open communication, building trust in their ability to deliver results.
As Mikko Yrjönen, Managing Director of Tauno Nissinen, put it, “We felt confident from the start that TalentBee understood our needs and would deliver a solution that was tailored to us.”
The project in action: A well-planned timeline & structured approach
The collaboration between Tauno Nissinen and TalentBee was marked by clear communication and a structured approach. Key elements of the project included:
- Timeline: The recruitment process started six months ahead of the former employee's leave to allow enough time for a smooth transition.
- Role priorities: The Financial Coordinator role was identified as a top priority, and the TalentBee team focused on finding candidates with the right financial and organizational skills, as well as a cultural fit for the team.
- Bespoke approach: TalentBee worked closely with Tauno Nissinen to refine the job description and ensure the candidate profile aligned with the company’s culture and specific needs.
TalentBee’s Linda Nguyen emphasized, “Our approach was deeply collaborative. We made sure to keep Mikko informed at every step and tailored our strategies to meet their specific needs.”
Mikko shared, “The communication was seamless. TalentBee’s proactive updates and consultations helped us feel confident throughout the process.”
Results and outcomes
The collaboration between Tauno Nissinen and TalentBee led to a successful hire, with the new Financial Coordinator seamlessly transitioning into the role. The key results of the recruitment process included:
Attracting motivated top talent through effective recruitment marketing
- A total of 60 high-quality applications were received through a compelling job ad crafted by Employer Branding Strategist Siiri Laaksonen, praised by nearly every interviewed candidate as the best job ad they had ever seen.
- Managing Director Mikko, the hiring manager, highlighted that candidates arrived at interviews already well-informed about the company and its culture. This was a direct result of successful recruitment marketing, which effectively communicated all essential and relevant details about the role and the company in an engaging and attractive way.
Selecting the best fit for the role
- From this strong candidate pool, five highly qualified candidates were identified, leading to one successful hire. A smooth transition process was set in motion to ensure minimal disruption to Tauno Nissinen’s operations.
Efficient and seamless recruitment process
- The recruitment process was completed within the desired timeframe, preventing any delays in financial operations.
High satisfaction and positive feedback
- Tauno Nissinen expressed high satisfaction with the efficiency and professionalism of TalentBee’s approach. Managing Director Mikko praised the service, saying: “We were extremely pleased with TalentBee’s professionalism and speed. They understood our needs and delivered results.”

“In autumn 2025, we were in a phase where we were strategically scaling our presence in the Norwegian market, building on the traction we had already gained. For us, this meant focusing on building the right local go-to-market team. That’s where TalentBee played a critical role. They helped us find exactly the kind of people we were looking for for our first Account Executive and Customer Success roles, while also shaping what the right profiles look like in a new market. What’s been especially valuable is how closely go-to-market and employer branding have been connected throughout the process – they go hand in hand. And when my time resources are limited, having a partner I can fully trust makes a huge difference. TalentBee has taken real ownership, which has made my day-to-day much easier.”

Testimonials for this service:
Lauri Sulanto
CEO & Co-founder
"We had already reached a point where the product was working well in the market and the customer base was around 100 and growing. At the same time, sales still required a lot of founder involvement, and recruitment was taking a lot of my own time alongside running the company. We needed to build a sales function that works without founders being involved in every deal, while also increasing development capacity as product demand and roadmap pressure kept growing. What worked well with TalentBee was that the process was very practical and straightforward. We aligned early on what kind of people fit Raxalle and what we actually expect from hires beyond just CVs or technical skills. TalentBee handled sourcing, headhunting, screening and process coordination, which removed a lot of operational work from my table. Communication stayed clear throughout the process. We ended up hiring both a Sales Manager and a Senior Developer, and both have been good fits. Sales dependency on founders has decreased, and development capacity improved immediately. The collaboration also helped us clarify our own hiring thinking and culture as we continue scaling the company."
