What Sets Heron Talent Apart? Our clients say it best…

  • Daren Tuzi • Eiger CEO

    Jan is great! We used his help to hire a couple positions we though would be too difficult to fill and he delivered high quality results. It was a pleasure to work with him.

  • Juhani Vanhala • Siili Auto

    I needed to hire a Sales Manager for German market and chose to work with Jan on that recruitment. Right from the beginning the co-operation was flawless. Jan was able to understand the needed profile from the first discussions and he found several good candidates for interviews in a couple of weeks. He also supported the process all the way to the end and kept me and the candidates up to date on the progress.

    I can highly recommend Jan for similar assignments.

  • Juhani Haaparanta • Director at EY

    Jan has an exceptional understanding of the Finnish design industry - not only from the perspective of having a vast network of people but also from the perspective of how to utilise and use design in the right way in your organisations.

    In many ways working with Jan when building your teams is not only about finding the right people but also steering your direction. Highly recommended!

  • Kenneth Lindfors • Siili Solutions Plc

    Jan is the best recruiter in the digital business when you search for outstanding digital sales, advisory or design profiles. Fast, furious and proactive. He gets the job done. I am happy to work with Jan again and recommend him sincerely.
