I had realized during my IB studies that HR is the area of business that interests me the most, so that is when I decided to do my practical training in a place where I could use my knowledge and deepen my understanding of the topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started working at StaffPoint in Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 after my exchange in late January 2022 and worked there until the end of August 2022. My practical training lasted 4 months from the end of January to the end May. After that, I worked as a recruitment consultant for the entire summer. I could have continued working there during the fall, but due to the large workload of my final semester at Jamk, I decided to focus on my studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My duties consisted of recruitment of employees for different client organizations in the fields of industry and logistics. In practice, I was in charge of the entire recruitment process from start to finish. For the most part, the process started with writing the job advertisements and reviewing and analysing the candidates. I held several interviews (phone interviews, video interviews and live interviews) for the candidates I found most suitable, and then presented them to the client organizations. When the client decided who to hire, I informed the candidate about it and made them an employment contract. In addition, my duties consisted of managing the running affairs of my employees, since I was often the first point of contact for the employees in contract and salary related questions. I was also able to work with so many different organizations and recruit people for diverse roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My favourite thing about this job was finding an employee who is the perfect match for a certain client organization and hearing positive feedback about them later on. The job feels incredibly rewarding because everyone wins: the employee gets the job they wanted, the client gets the employee they needed, and the recruitment agency benefits financially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I learned a ton of new things during my time at StaffPoint. I had no prior experience in recruitment and HR before my practical training. I got learn things on my own pace, and I got more complex and demanding tasks as time went on. It was a fantastic place for personal development, and I cannot recommend it enough to anyone interested in HR and recruitment. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Author: Saku Etel\u00e4m\u00e4ki<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>StaffPoint offers recruitment services all over Finland to different business areas, such as retail, HoReCa, industry and logistics, office jobs and executive roles.
