RECRUITMENT IN LATVIA

The Right Person in the Right Place

We run the entire recruitment process, from labour market research through to the new employee's first day and their integration into the company. We assess candidates with behavioural interviews and the Profile XT job fit assessment, so your managers only meet the people who actually match the requirements of the role and the culture of the team.

The problems companies run into when hiring in Latvia

1

Complex and narrow job profiles

In many industries a role calls for a specific combination of knowledge and experience that a standard job advert will never reach. The narrower the profile, the fewer suitable candidates the labour market actually holds.

2

Not enough time or capacity

Recruitment takes dozens of hours from publishing the vacancy to signing the contract. Where one HR manager is covering several other areas at the same time, there is rarely enough capacity left to assess candidates properly.

3

Requirements that were never defined precisely

If the job profile is not written down clearly before the search begins, candidates enter the process who do not match the real need. That drags the process out and raises the risk of hiring the wrong person.

4

Talent acquisition in Latvia

The most qualified professionals are often already employed and not actively looking for work. To reach out to them and spark their interest, a personalized approach is needed, along with the ability to understand each candidate’s motivation so that they will consider their next career move.

How we run the recruitment process

01

Labour market research and our candidate database

We draw on a candidate database built up over many years and research the labour market in your specific industry. This tells us exactly which candidates are available and what salary level your competitors are offering.

02

CV screening and confidentiality

If you need help working through a large volume of applications, we take the CV screening off your hands completely. When you are replacing someone who is still in the role, we guarantee strict confidentiality for the full length of the search.

03

Behavioural interviews and job fit assessment

We do not rely on first impressions. During the search we use validated candidate assessment tools, including the Profile XT (PXT) job fit assessment, competency based interviews and reference checks.

04

The new employee joins the company

Our work does not stop when the employment contract is signed. We stay in contact with both the client and the candidate to follow how the integration is going and to confirm the start has gone well. Where it helps, we advise and help you build an employee onboarding plan.

SERVICE

Recruitment mentoring

If you already have your own HR specialist, we support their development or help them deliver complex, non standard searches. Our consultant takes part in a live recruitment project, observes interviews, introduces the PXT job fit assessment and gives feedback on every stage. It is recruitment training built around your own vacancies rather than a classroom.

— Review of your recruitment process

 

We go through the process you use today and pinpoint the stages where time is lost, where candidates drop out and where quality suffers.

​------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

— Interview observation

 

An Eiro Personāls consultant sits in on your interviews as an observer and then gives detailed feedback.

​------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

— Introducing the Profile XT assessment

 

We introduce the job fit assessment and show how to apply it to the vacancy you are filling right now.

​------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

— Training on live vacancies

 

The training runs on real recruitment projects, not on theory.

What our clients say

We started our cooperation with Eiropersonāls quite recently. As a service recipient, I was convinced by the range of services offered by the recruitment company, the detailed content and explanation of what we would receive from each service, as well as the offered consultation with a specialist regarding the detailed expected results and samples of personality test results. Furthermore, I know Lauma Kugrēna – the representative of Eiropersonāls – personally from my previous professional experience. I know and am confident in Lauma's professional experience, which I highly value and which is undoubtedly invaluable in receiving a high-quality recruitment service. In all the recruitment projects we collaborated on, I was truly satisfied with the quality of the service provided, the communication throughout the project, the regular updates on its progress and stages, and, of course, the selected candidates. I definitely recommend cooperating with Eiropersonāls to other clients as well.
