Track record
Nightingale Health
Jeffrey Barrett, Chief Scientific Officer
Andrew did a great job recruiting new talent to Nightingale. I really enjoyed working with him because he ran a very smooth process, and communicated well both with applicants and the internal hiring team. I'd warmly recommend him to anyone looking to build high performing teams.
Talent Partner
Joined as a first in-house Recruiter. Established talent acquisition processes and successfully filled all roles in the hiring plan during my tenure (Life Sciences, Tech, Sales). - Hired 2 candidates for a role the previous (external) partner struggled to fill for half a year. - Hired a back-fill DevOps Engineer in 17 days. - All candidates I placed successfully passed their trial periods (6 months) and are with the company as of the moment I'm writing this. - Enabled a business-critical launch of the new UK laboratory on time. - Full ownership of the process from creating job descriptions to salary negotiations. - Provided "award-winning" candidate experience :)
Kodit.io / Rive
Elina Koivisto, Chief Operating Officer
I had the pleasure of working together with Andrew as part of the leadership team of proptech scale up Rive/Kodit.io. Andrew had a high standard of working and was able to build a people function to a company of 300+ employees from scratch. What is more, it was always fun to work together with him - the meetings were filled with solid substance and a lot of laughter. I would be happy to recommend Andrew, and would love to work with him again.
Chief People Officer
Joined as the first HR hire to establish the entire People framework. The team grew from 60 to 340 in 2.5 years (via talent acquisition and M&A efforts). - Scalable People Operations framework built from scratch: HR Strategy, Talent Acquisition, Operational HR, and Talent Business Partnership (team of 11 direct reports in Helsinki, Madrid, and Warsaw). - Developed the essential HR toolkit: ATS (Teamtailor, Jobylon), HRMS (Personio), and Payroll (Netvisor via Staria) together with the team. - Talent Acquisition framework established; coached and trained hiring teams and managers. - Hands-on recruiting for Finland and Global Tech roles (also relocations).
MaaS Global
Sami Lankinen, Head of Programs
The high quality templates and support for the hiring managers, positive and energetic approach in all the touch points of the recruitment process and the attention to the details that make the difference between good and great separate Andrew's work from the rest. As Andrew recognizes the most potential candidates and is also fun to work with, I'm happy to recommend for him to any talent management position.
Head of Talent Acquisition
- Scaled the team to support business growth and international expansion goals (80+ roles filled). - Built Talent Acquisition function from the ground up (team of 3).
Yousician
Chris Thür, Chief Executive Officer & Co-founder
I've worked with Andrew for many years at Yousician both as team member and him reporting to me. Andrew is a very unique individual that brings enthusiasm and excitement to anything he does. He's great at connecting with people, listening to them and a fast learner. I greatly admire his ability to be both professional and personal, be encouraging/inspiring and stern in feedback, have patience but also drive with people. Andrew is both a starter, driving new initiatives with enthusiasm and an open mind, and a closer, getting things over the finish line with little formal supervision. I hope we work together one day again!
Talent Business Partner
- Early employee. - Established and led the Talent function to build and evolve a high-performing team (20 -> 120). - Recruiting, Onboarding, Performance Management, Learning and Development, Employer Branding, People Analytics, and Culture.
