“I have completed a recruitment training program twice. The first time I joined the program was ten years ago, when I wanted to change the direction of my career. At that time, I realized that a recruitment training program is an excellent pathway into companies that offer good career opportunities,” Marle says.

Comprehensive support for building a future career through the recruitment training program.
Traditionally, job searching is viewed as time-consuming and difficult, since recruitment processes are lengthy and competition for positions is fierce. According to Marle, the key to successful recruitment training programs is that they make the transition into working life quick and easy for the candidate.
“When I joined the training program, I knew it would give me the chance to learn new things while also helping me get a job directly with a company. In my opinion, the training program was a very easy way forward — companies suited to me had already been identified, and through the program I was able to start doing hands-on work at a company immediately,” Marle explains.
The training program includes education focused on a specific subject area as well as close collaboration with the employer. The purpose of the program is to give the candidate an opportunity to pursue their career goals while also providing sufficient skills and readiness to perform well in daily work.
During the training, in addition to practical, job-related learning, I also got support with things like creating my resume and understanding the recruitment process, which will be useful later on as well. Overall, the content of the training program was carefully designed and very versatile. I found Saranen’s service to be completely reliable. They stayed by my side until I secured a permanent position,” Marle says.
A new career path offers opportunities for professional growth and development
For Marle, the recruitment training program was a successful launchpad for a new career. At her workplace, Marle has settled in very well — a pleasant work community and suitably challenging tasks have met her expectations.
“Here at Rantalainen, we have an incredibly great staff who truly work together as a team. I feel that every employee is listened to and offered individualized career paths. In my opinion, it’s important to understand that people’s interests can change over the years.
I would definitely recommend a recruitment training program to people who have unexpectedly become unemployed or who simply want to try something new in their careers,” Marle says.
