Hidden Job Market: Recruiter Insights

You’ve probably already heard that a large share of jobs in Finland are never publicly advertised. Welcome to our event Hidden Job Market: Recruiter Insights, where we uncover how recruitment really works behind the scenes. Join us for an engaging session with a professional recruiter and Head of Talent Acquisition at Swarmia Ilya Mikhalev. Ilya Mikhalev is a Talent Acquisition leader with 13 years of experience, including more than 7 years in senior recruiting leadership roles across EMEA and APAC. Before joining Swarmia, he scaled hiring at Mapbox from Series C to Series D, and at Smartly.io from a local startup into a global leader. During the event, we’ll explore what the hidden job market is and why it matters in Finland, how recruiters identify and approach candidates, practical strategies to tap into hidden opportunities, tips on networking, LinkedIn presence, and direct applications, as well as common mistakes to avoid when job hunting. We'll also discuss perspectives on how companies fill roles through networks, referrals, and proactive outreach often without posting a job ad. This is a great opportunity for students, recent graduates, and professionals looking to better understand the Finnish job market and improve their chances of landing a role. Bring your questions and get ready to gain actionable insights that can transform your job search strategy! HOW: Registration is needed. https:\/\/link.webropolsurveys.com\/EP\/D9CCB0B57D55CA80 Note!
