"We have been really satisfied with Ikigai's personnel assessment services and I wouldn't dare to recruit again without them. If anything, I'm going to give even more weight to assessment results going forward. You have exceptionally well grasped each different position and the special features of our field. We have also received enthusiastic feedback from the recruits about the assessments, which have also been useful for them.”

”We have used IKIGAI´s personnel assessments to support our recruitments and have been extremely pleased with our collaboration. At Reagle, every recruitment is important and we want to ensure the fit of each person to our working culture. Through personnel assessment, we have gained valuable data and depth to support our recruitment decisions. IKIGAI´s consultants have understood the distinctive corporate culture of Reagle and the employees chosen through personnel assessment have been a great fit to our operating culture. 

IKIGAI´s operation has been agile and business-oriented — they understand that there is a great shortage of top talent and once a potential candidate has been found one needs to work rapidly.”

”We have utilized Ikigai´s personnel assessments in our consultant decisions for several years. We have always been able to trust IKIGAI´s consultants — they carefully dive deep into assignments, work in an organized manner, and carry out responsibility of their work from beginning to end. They aren’t overly dynamic fumblers in a way where things fall out of hands, nor are they boring bureaucrats, rather collaboration has been pleasant and smooth all over. 

As clients we have felt ourselves as important, not just one client in the midst of many others who are taken care of in passing. I can warmly recommend them, when in need of a high-class, reliable partner for recruitment.”

"I took part in Ikigai-coaching, where the goal is to enable better use of potential and correspondingly reduce the burdensome elements of work with the help of psychological tools. My role as co-founder of a growth company is demanding and versatile - I have responsibility for both sales, personnel management, and the development of company business. Despite all enthusiasm, the daily life of a growth entrepreneur is sometimes stressful, so personal recovery and well-being become decisive in terms of achievable results in working and optimization of performance.

​As a psychologist, Inka was able to bring perspectives and make me realize things and observations that I myself had not thought of, even though I have reflected a lot on my own actions. With the help of psychological test methods and our conversations, my self-knowledge deepened, and I better understood the cause-and-effect relationships behind my ways of working and reacting. I also gained concrete insights into how to find psychologically sustainable and, above all, well-being-supporting solutions in my work life. These tips help me achieve better results without having to sacrifice personal well-being.

​It amazes me that companies are typically ready to sacrifice thousands of euros for expensive sales training, for example, but the services that support the personal development of the company's key personnel are those for which the budget is typically tight. I feel that coaching is a rather small investment in relation to the benefit one can get from it - I learned more about myself in a short time than ever before - the process developed me both as a person, as a team member, and as a leader."

"Ikigai has been a partner of Aalto University’s financial services in personnel assessments and direct searches for several years. Especially in building our procurement team, Ikigai has been an irreplaceable partner. Every project managed together has been carried out with strong professionalism, reliably and smoothly, and cooperation has been really nice. Projects have sometimes been carried through with record-breaking speed, but quality has never been compromised. The recruitments handled with Ikigai have gone very well and together we have been able to build a team that plays well together!”

”Already in the first meeting, the psychologist of IKIGAI Assessments gave me concrete ways to take breaks from my work days and I understood how small breaks promote recovery from work as a whole. In the discussions, I benefited from the psychologist's sharp-eyed observations and gained new perspectives for example on how to act in exciting or challenging situations.”

”We used personnel assessment as a part of recruitment for the first time and the whole process went very well. We received a lot of valuable information to support our desicion-making and IKIGAI´s competence and expertise convinced us. I can warmly recommend IKIGAI.”

"We chose IKIGAI as our assessment partner in a transformation situation of our HR organization. We wanted to recognize potential in our organization and offer an opportunity for our HR experts to develop themselves and clarify their career aspirations.

In our cooperation with Ikigai's consultants, we valued their expertise and vision on how the project should be implemented. The project was quite large in terms of its size, also due to the international operating environment, time and cultural differences had to be taken into account.

We feel that our needs and wishes were heard and through collaboration, we were able to tailor an assessment concept that suited us. I can warmly recommend working with Inka and Elina in similar situations."

"The recruitment training by IKIGAI Assessments was the perfect choice for our recruitment team. The content was thought out into a well-functioning entity and the topics covered in the training were presented clearly and professionally. The training left a lot of concrete advice into mind, which can be used in everyday work.

I feel that I learned a lot, especially about objectiveness of recruitment, and I warmly recommend a similar training to all recruitment professionals or those interested in the subject!"
