To start, could you share with us a bit about your role at ARTIGA and your journey to becoming the HR Manager?

 
I've been with the company for several years now, starting initially as a recruiter. Over time, I demonstrated a keen understanding of our company's needs, particularly regarding foreign projects, and developed strategies to effectively recruit talents for these ventures. My dedication and performance led me to be promoted to the role of HR Manager, where I now oversee recruitment efforts for our international projects.

 
How do you ensure, that the candidates you recruit are the right fit for the job of the project?

 
Finding the right fit goes beyond just assessing technical skills. During the recruitment process, we conduct thorough interviews and assessments to evaluate not only the candidate's qualifications but also their adaptability, communication skills, and motivation to work on biggest industrial projects all over the world. As we say here, first job interview is extremely important.

 
Lastly, what advice would you give to other HR professionals, who are tasked with recruiting for foreign projects?

 
My advice would be to invest time in understanding the unique challenges and nuances of the regions, where your company operates. Building strong relationships with partners and other departments (production, marketing etc.) are essential for successful recruitment outcomes. Of course, always be open to learning and adapting your strategies, based on feedback and experiences in the field.

Tomas has been working as a project manager at ARTIGA for some time. We are pleased with his success and, as always, we want to learn as much as possible about the positive experiences of the company’s employees.
 

Tell us a little about your responsibilities, projects and the challenges that you face on a daily basis? 
 

I’m currently working as a project manager and I’m responsible for the projects in Ireland. For me, it is another huge challenge and opportunity to improve, but at the same time it’s a great responsibility.
 

As a project manager, I’m not only planning team’s work, but I also contribute to project’s management, work with specific computer programs and databases. Every single day is different – one day I review plans and calculate the needed resources for production, control the progress of work. The next day can be full of meetings – suppliers, customers, specialists or reviews of work, that has been done on board.
 

How has ARTIGA LT contributed to your professional development?
 

The most important thing for me is to gain confidence and have the opportunity to work with interesting foreign projects.
 

From the very first days, ARTIGA vision was to expand and establish itself in new foreign market projects. The ventilation system installation project in Ireland is the pride of our company, to which I pay great attention and contribute to it’s successful development.
 

How would you describe the working atmosphere in the company?
 

I admit, that working in a growing, ambitious company requires a lot of energy, a quick reaction to the situation and, of course, sometimes not quite pleasant, but necessary decisions. As a project manager, you often need knowledge of personal qualities such as diplomacy, critical thinking or even psychology.
 

However, all this is redeemed by the positive microclimate of the team, competent colleagues and the freedom to implement our own ideas and constructive management decisions.
