Success stories
What it actually looks like when staffing works — for the companies who hire with us and for the workers we place across Estonia.
For companies
How Estonian employers staffed up — fast.
12 hires · 8 days · 0 missed shifts
Twelve warehouse hires in eight working days
Nordline Logistics
Heading into the holiday peak, Nordline needed twelve trained warehouse operators across two shifts. Their internal recruiter was already at capacity. Nordstaff took the brief on a Monday, started shortlisting the same afternoon, and had nine workers on the floor by Friday. The remaining three started the following Monday — every shift covered, no overtime spike for the existing team.
“Nordstaff had nine on shift in four days and the rest by the following Monday. No drama, no chasing.”
— Kati Lepp, Operations Lead — Nordline Logistics
2 hires · 19 days · 1 long retention
Two certified welders hired in a tight market
MetalWorks OÜ
MetalWorks had been searching for certified MIG/TIG welders for over three months. The market was empty and quotes from other agencies started at six weeks. Nordstaff worked the existing tradesperson network, surfaced two candidates within two weeks, and placed both within nineteen days of the brief. Two years later, both are still on payroll.
“Most agencies just see a CV. Nordstaff understood the actual shop and matched people who fit it.”
— Marek Tamm, Plant Manager — MetalWorks OÜ
6 leased · 3 converted to permanent
Six leased workers, three permanent hires, zero friction
Estia Construction
For a six-month residential build in Paldiski, Estia took on six general construction workers via Nordstaff staff leasing. As the project wound down, three of those workers had become indispensable. Nordstaff handled the conversion to direct employment cleanly — no buyout drama, no paperwork tangles, both sides walked away with what they wanted.
“The conversion was the cleanest I have seen. Both sides knew exactly where they stood.”
— Liisa Õun, HR Director — Estia Construction
For workers
How real people found their next role.
Hired in 6 days · still there after 14 months
From two months of silence to a Monday start
Pavel Romanov
Pavel had been applying to warehouse roles for nearly two months without a callback. He sent his CV to Nordstaff on a Tuesday afternoon. By Wednesday morning he had a phone interview, by Thursday a site visit, and the following Monday he was on the floor at Nordline Logistics. Fourteen months in, he has been promoted to a team-lead track.
“Nordstaff called me back the same day. It just worked.”
— Pavel Romanov — Warehouse Operator, Nordline Logistics
Relocated · hired in 11 days · supported through onboarding
A new city, a clear contract, and a real welcome
Mari Saar
Mari moved from Pärnu to Tallinn for work. The relocation was already stressful — she did not need a recruiter who would ghost her. Nordstaff walked her through the contract, explained the tax implications of the role, and checked in with her after her first week on shift at a boutique hotel. Eight months later she is full-time and training new starters.
“I have never had that kind of support from a recruiter — they actually checked in after I started.”
— Mari Saar — Hotel Housekeeper, Old Town Hospitality
Hired in 14 days · 24 months retention and counting
Matched to a shop, not just to a vacancy
Jaan Vahar
Jaan is a certified welder with eighteen years of experience. He had been through two staffing agencies that treated him like a CV. Nordstaff sat with him for an hour, asked what he wanted next in his career, and matched him to a fabrication shop where he could grow into a senior role. He has been there for two years and recently took on an apprentice.
“They actually asked what I wanted next. That is rare.”
— Jaan Vahar — Certified Welder, MetalWorks OÜ
