S1 Ep9: #EN: Alma Media & LMC, Senior Vice President Vesa-Pekka Kirsi and Head of analytics Ervín Dombrovský: I would prefer choosing the dream people I would work with

„Rather than choosing a dream company I would work for, I would prefer choosing the dream people I would work with.“ …visions and debates Vesa-Pekka Kirsi, Senior Vice President, Head of Alma Markets (part of Alma Media Company that owns among other companies LMC, Monster CZ, Profesia etc.), a former Fonecta executive, and a former Head of Nokia Games Publishing. We interviewed Vesku, as he is called in Alma, together with Tomáš Ervín Dombrovský, Head of analytics at LMC. Vesku and public visibility are far from being close friends but we have headhunted him with a strong precision 🙂 We discussed topics like what made him join Alma in 2019, what challenges he faced in 2020, what could be the future of recruitment in the coming years and so on. No matter what Vesku stays firmly and the ground and says: “I’m really happy where I’m at the moment!” LISTEN AND FIND OUT: • How was he found by a headhunter and how did he feel after the call? • How did he face the unexpected changes in business brought about by 2020? • What’s a million Euro question in terms of innovations for him? • How will 2021 and years ahead change the recruiting business? • How do we cope with work when nobody is in the office? • What is his favorite Nokia game on the phone and is it possible to finish it?
