The labour market only moves by moving it.
The labor market only moves by moving it.
The Finnish economy has been in a standstill, and unemployment among early career professionals has reached a peak. At Academic Work, we are not waiting for the market to recover on its own. We are actively driving it forward. Our goal is to employ 5000 people over the next three years.
You can participate and be part of the solution
If you are involved in making recruiting decisions, you have power. Use it right and be part of the solution.
I hope that the next time you consider hiring a new talent, you do two things: 1. dare to recruit and 2. look at the role with fresh eyes.
Could the task or part of it be done by a promising early career professional eager to show their skills? If there are fewer tasks suitable for an early career professional, a part-time role is also an excellent option.
The most important thing is that you actively try to identify places for growth. This is how you create life-changing opportunities for individuals, and at the same time build your company's long term capabilities.
We cannot afford to waste an entire generation. Together, we can make decisions that boost the competitiveness of our entire country.
– Laura Christie, Managing Director, Academic Work
There are two options:
wait for the market to move, or move the market.
Our target is 5000 jobs
How are we at Academic Work going to do it?
Helping companies identify places for growth
We have daily discussions with companies where we challenge them to trim their list of requirements and consider what kind of competence is genuinely necessary to succeed in the role.
By sparring with our client companies, we identify new entry and junior-level roles together, and create places for growth.
Growing competence directly for companies' needs
With our effective 2–14 week accelerated trainings, we have grown over 1000 new talents for companies all over Finland – from data professionals to substation designers.
We intend to continue patching the skills shortage with targeted training that builds new competence and employment opportunities.
Enabling flexible resourcing for companies
An uncertain market and competence needs that are difficult to predict are too often an obstacle to recruiting. That is why resourcing solutions that can be tailored to the company needs play an important role in creating places for growth.
Our flexible staffing model enables employing through an assignment and recruiting when the time is right.
Showing how to unlock potential
Our years include countless amazing growth stories of early career professionals that deserve to be heard.
We intend to show even more actively what potential is and how it can be unlocked when finding the perfect fit between the company and the talent.
Who will be your next hire?
Hire a junior – what is the best thing that could happen?
I find the idea stuffy that employing early career professionals would be some kind of charity from a company, earning extra points. As AI reduces the number of entry-level jobs in various fields, we are facing a dangerous development.
In my eyes, juniors have superpowers that sharpen the capabilities of the entire company. An endless hunger for learning, a healthy desire to question, and high motivation. They catch on to productive work quickly and learn more and more at an earth-shattering pace. Is there a more important trait in this time than the ability to learn?
And actually, the most impressive thing is their energy. It spreads to the whole community and collectively raises the level of doing.
Academic Work has grown into Europe's leading staffing and recruitment company in our target group precisely by investing in potential and offering growth paths. I am a living example of that myself.
So let me ask you: what s the best thing that could happen when hiring a junior?
