INTERNATIONAL RECRUITMENT
Hire in Finland, the Baltics and beyond with one trusted partner
Expanding into a new market is never just about finding candidates.
It’s about understanding local talent, culture, and expectations.
We help both companies and jobseekers succeed in international markets.
We combine local expertise in Finland and the Baltics with a global executive search network in 35+ countries to help you hire the right people wherever you operate.
Hiring across borders is complex
Finding the right candidate in a new market can be surprisingly complex. Local talent markets are often difficult to access without established networks, cultural differences can significantly influence both recruitment and retention, and candidate expectations may vary widely from one country to another.
On top of that, working with multiple recruitment partners across different regions can quickly become inefficient and hard to manage.
As a result, many international companies struggle to achieve successful hiring outcomes, not because of a lack of effort, but because they lack the local insight and on-the-ground execution needed to navigate unfamiliar markets effectively.
One partner. Global reach. Local execution.
Working with HRS Advisors gives you access to experienced local recruitment experts in Finland and the Baltic region, combined with the simplicity of having a single partner coordinating your entire international hiring process.
Through our Praxi Alliance network spanning more than 35 countries, we ensure smooth and consistent execution across markets while handling both recruitment and candidate assessment seamlessly under one roof.
Our approach goes beyond simply identifying candidates. We focus on finding individuals who truly fit your organisation, its culture, and its long term goals, helping ensure not just a successful hire but sustainable success.

Where we create value
We support companies in a wide range of international recruitment situations, from expanding into Finland or the Nordic market to hiring key leadership such as Country Managers and Director-level roles.
We also help organisations build local teams in new countries, manage recruitment across multiple markets at the same time, and support international companies operating in Finland.
Our work is always grounded in a deep understanding of both international business needs and local labour markets, allowing us to deliver solutions that are practical, relevant, and aligned with each client’s growth objectives.
Our structured, proven approach
1. Understanding your needs: Business goals, role, and market context
2. Targeted search and market mapping: Local candidate networks + international reach
3. Candidate assessment: In-depth evaluation, including psychological assesment if needed
4. Selection and hiring: Supporting decision-making and final selection.
You get a fully managed process with clear communication and local expertise.
Recruitment and Executive Search in the Baltic States
Contrary to common belief, the Baltic countries are far from a uniform group, even though they are close neighbors and share historical ties. When you cross a national border, the language, religion, culture and even national sports, change.
Similar to small economies (including Finland), the Baltic States are export-driven. Market movements can have a significant rapid impact, and the effects vary from one country to another. Responses to changing situations also differ.
This is where local expertise becomes essential. The talent pool is always limited, and working with a reliable local partner is valuable regardless of the economic climate.
HRS has extensive experience in recruitment, executive search and psychological assessments in the Baltic countries since 2004. We truly understand the labor markets of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, each with their own unique characteristics.
Why work with HRS Advisors?
Our strength lies in combining deep local expertise in Finland and the Baltic region with a truly international reach through the Praxi Alliance network.
This means we understand how local labour markets function in practice while having the ability to execute assignments across multiple countries in a coordinated and reliable way.
At the same time, our work is grounded in a strong understanding of both business needs and human behaviour.
We focus on long term success rather than simply filling individual roles, ensuring that each hire supports the client’s broader goals.
By acting as a single, trusted partner instead of multiple disconnected providers, we make the entire process more efficient and cohesive, bringing together data, psychology, and hands-on recruitment experience in a way that delivers consistent results across markets.
