Questions and answers on anonymous recruiting

Metsä Group welcomes people from different backgrounds and in different life situations. We operate globally in more than thirty countries, and our employees represent more than fifty different nationalities.

Anonymous recruitment is Metsä Group's main recruitment method and our way to promote equal treatment of applicants. We want to be a leader in diversity and inclusion, and in promoting gender equality and equal opportunities.

The goal is to allow an increasingly diverse group of applicants to enter the interview stage and to select the most suitable person, regardless of their characteristics. This development is supported by anonymous recruitment, where each applicant is on the same line.

By using anonymous recruitment, we can avoid unconscious biases affecting the outcome of the recruitment.

In anonymous recruitment, the applicants' personal data, such as name and contact details as well as school name and study years are masked until interview invitations. We don't ask the applicants' age, gender or native language.

Remember to fill your application carefully and bring your skills out! We will not be able to view your information on your CV or other attachments until we invite you to the interview.

The application form contains questions that will help you to highlight your skills, strengths and interest anonymously. Do not hesitate to share your competences in your own words and with concrete examples.

You will stand out by highlighting your competencies and motivation.
Anonymous recruitment is a guarantee that applications are also red carefully.

Compared to conventional recruitment, in anonymous recruitment the application form contains more detailed questions, where you can introduce your skills and interest. All basic information, such as name and contact details, will also be asked, but they will remain hidden until you receive an invitation to the interview.

In anonymous recruitment, it is particularly important to complete the application form carefully and answer all the questions. Write your skills and strengths in your own words. Give examples of what you have done and where you have acquired the competence that is essential to the task.

In anonymous recruitment, you can also attach a CV to your application, but it will be visible to our recruiters only if you are decided to be invited to an interview.
