Maddie Walton

Global Director, Talent Acquisition and Employer Branding @Fiskars Group

Recruiting top talent takes courage, curiosity, flexibility and challenging the status quo.\\\\n\\\\nAt Fiskars Group, this is how we do it:\\\\n\\\\n Authenticity is accepted here. We create space for others to show up as themselves. We encourage this by being true to who we are.\\\\n\\\\nBuilding relationships: Sometimes a role is not a fit right now but we value sustainable relationships and recycling talent to provide career opportunities and meet future talent demands.\\\\n\\\\n We reach diverse talent through thoughtful partnership with organizations and platforms that promote diversity. We thoughtfully question job requirements to ensure talent does not self-select themselves out and have defined our interview processes to reduce unconscious evaluation biases and so our candidates know what to expect and are consistently treated fairly.\\\\n\\\\n We challenge each other on our ways of thinking and remain curious about differing points of view. We seek out and use digital tools that provide a better experience for our candidates while also reducing carbon footprint.\\\\n\\\\n We believe a data driven recruitment process is key to our success in supporting extraordinary candidate experiences and our focus on DEI. We use data to hold ourselves accountable to our purpose and values.\\\\n \\\\n\\\\n \\\\n \\\\n\\\\n \\\\n
