Discover our mindset

We're in it for 
the long haul

When confronted with change, organisations are required to adapt and radically rethink their strategy. In the face of uncertainty, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the multitude of choices. To operate boldly in the face of the unknown, that’s Sisu.

 

Sisu [ˈsɪsuː – ancient Finnish] 

means courage, perseverance and resilience. To have Sisu is to aim for the horizon by connecting the dots and focusing on the long term.

Sisu is the mindset that allows you to embrace disruption and create new opportunities.

We are…
(1) resilient in the face of change
(2) people-first 
(3) bold challengers in the field

We build the future of human capital together :

The traditional way

Demand-driven

Serving clients reactively, by tackling what is asked and not what is needed.

General expertise

Expertise in staffing with a general domain focus.

General talent/staffing model

Excludes industry expertise and results in a general talentpool without the finesse for your industry.

Product-centric

Offering quick staffing products instead of long-term solutions.

Transactional

Quick win and short-term benefits.

Ad hoc solutions

Executing on temporary needs.

The Sisu way

Business-driven

Working with clients proactively: based on today’s needs, keeping tomorrow in mind.

Industry-based expertise

We invest in industry experts with an outstanding human capital track record to keep our finger on the pulse of industry trends.

Domain-based model

Our industry experts are a domain-relevant talentpool community, fit for temporary and permanent workforce solutions.

Customer-centric

Thinking along with your business strategy and providing futureproof talent solutions.

Advisory

You can count on us to have a sparring partner to help build your organisation of the future.

Relational

Having access to Sisu’s ecosystem means choosing for a long-term partnership.

Sisu is our ecosystem in which we share resources and knowledge and train our experts to be agile Sisu-oriented intrapreneurs.

DISCOVER OUR JOURNEY

The seed for Sisu was planted in 2009 when CEO Stephane Collignon and his partners founded Strand Associates Consulting, an expert recruitment and consultancy partner. Quickly realising that not tools but expertly talented people are a company’s true capital, Sisu’s vision took root. More than a decade later, five strong communities of industry experts make a difference for companies and their workforce at Sisu.
