My promise to you

Partnership not just delivery

When crafting your dream team I strive for long-term partnership not just making placements

Quality over quantity

I respect your time and introduce only candidates who not only possess the required skills but also vibe with your company’s culture

Empathy

My superpower is listening and the art of putting myself into other people’s shoes

Crazy amount of willpower

“It’s not possible” doesn’t exist in my vocabulary

Having my skin in the game

I take pride in my work, deliver results and aspire to be your ultimate brand ambassador

Heleen is a hiring manager's dream. We gave her the impossible task of scaling from zero to 150+, hiring across multiple teams with constantly changing needs and seemingly impossible timescales. She sourced top talent, saved me hours each week, and helped us build a successful organisation.

Thomas CornwallManaging Partner, Open Equity

As Milrem grows rapidly, we were very fortunate to have Heleen join us as an experienced professional with a strong pipeline in engineering. Heleen has incredibly quickly learned our engineering nuances and handles our complex technical hiring projects very well. We are impressed by her quick delivery!

Gristel TaliHead of People and Culture, Milrem Robotics

For the past 4 years, Heleen has been an integral part of our expansion efforts, demonstrating exceptional professionalism and efficiency by successfully recruiting over 20 individuals for our team. Her pleasant character and methodical approach have not only ensured a smooth recruitment process but have also been instrumental in helping us build a robust team and establish our business presence in Estonia. Her contributions have been vital to our success and growth in the region.

Lars SørupChief Technology Officer, Area9

I have had experience with Heleen first as a candidate and later as a hiring manager. She was responsible for the talent acquisition process for our platform engineering team and the main driver towards finding the best talent available worldwide. This experience shaped my second impression of Heleen: a very knowledgeable professional, very humane when assessing and speaking with candidates, willing to work collaboratively with the tech team, and never settling for sub-par candidates!

Fernando Goulart da SilvaLead Data Architect, NEOM

Heleen has been a huge part of our Global Product and CX leadership team. She’s helped define our talent strategy, helping me grow the team and find top talent in multiple global markets. She understands Product and CX very well and I know I’ll only get great candidates coming through to me when Heleen is on the case.

Who am I?

I am Heleen Anderson, a technical recruiter and executive researcher - essentially just a human driven by things I don’t know yet.

As long as I remember myself, I’ve always been curious about how life works and what drives people. That led me to obtain my first degree in Genetic Engineering, however, as it turned out, I felt too far from people and their everyday motivations and challenges.

Some say “luck”, others “coincidence” but eventually I found myself in the People & Talent and instantly felt at home. After a decade in the field, my professional experience combines years of agency recruitment, an in-house talent partner role in a technology scale-up and independent work for start-ups and other like-minded companies.

I hope I can be part of your success story in growth.
