Let’s build better recruitment and work-life together!
Ilmiö Talent Agency
Founded in Helsinki in 2021, Ilmiö is a location-independent talent agency with a fresh approach to recruitment.
Our story began when our founders experienced a turning point in their careers, inspiring our mission to make recruitment and work life better for everyone.
We're building workspace of the future: a community where professionals thrive, collaboration is borderless, and work adapts to life.
Our journey
The leap of faith
Ilmiö was founded in December 2021 by three friends - who had been working in the post-pandemic corporate grind. The dream of creating a better work-life for themselves was the spark that started Ilmiö and defined our mission.
S*it gets real
Despite the market doing its best impression of a rollercoaster, we somehow made this thing work and started gaining our partners' trust. We focused on developing our business - you know, the fancy stuff like sales, marketing, and pretending to understand spreadsheets.
From dreamers to doers
What started as friends seeking meaning has grown into something extraordinary. We're now a trusted talent partner for companies of all shapes and sizes. Our team has expanded to include freelance partners, bringing us closer to realizing our vision.
Year 202*?
Ilmiö is THE talent agency and a thriving community for talented professionals working on their own terms. We're expanding across countries and continents, with local teams connected through digital platforms. United by our passion, values and collaboration, we're reshaping the future of recruitment and work-life.
Putting profits over people
We'll always prioritize our values over short-term gains. Our focus remains putting people at the center of everything we do.
Shape your work-life to fit your lifestyle, not the other way around.
We've built Ilmiö as a platform for TA professionals who want to work on their own terms.
Whether you're a seasoned recruiter, a tech-savvy sourcer or an employer branding specialist, join our community where you can mold your work-life to perfectly align with your ideal lifestyle!
