"Dear Timo  Halonen,

Let me say Thank You Very Much to you. It has been 4 and a half years since I started building EB Automotive business in Japan (3SOFT at that time). Hiring excellent software engineers is one of the most important issues for building the business. Employees are the most important asset for our company. You have given a lot of support with introducing excellent engineers to me. I have been able to build a strong engineering team through your support."

"Timo is an extra-ordinary business person and consultant one can not find so easily in Tokyo. He is also a trusted entrepreneur operating in the cutting edge of wireless health monitoring technologies that have a promising future. He is very enthusiastic person providing deep insight when dealing with his clients’ business or creating new businesses. He should be the first contact person for any high tech non-Japanese company who want to acquire highest level of consultation and get into the Japanese market."

-- Norihisa Shibuya, Regional Sales Manager, Japan, Nordic Semiconductor ASA

 

"Amimon, a leading-edge wireless technology company in Israel, has been very well supported by Open Standard Solutions (OSS) Ltd in hiring good qualified people in Japan. It's usually very hard to find those who meet our high level request in Japan, but OSS is always very supportive and helpful to find our required people. Given their proven record, we will continue to enjoy working with OSS."

-- Youkichi Den, Amimon Japan

“Timo-san is very strong in wireless and communication area of semiconductor industry. For instance he introduced to me to a current market leader company in Wireless HD TV. At the time this was an unknown company to many - including myself - in the market. The whole process was very efficient and was carried out within a week from my request. Timo's strong point is not only quick action but there is a also a strong sense of responsibility from him to both an applicant and the client."


-- N.M., Application Engineering Manager

 

“We used Open Standard Solutions (OSS) to find right candidates for our local FAE positions in Japan. We were very pleased with their ability to bring in qualified candidates in a timely manner. They were also flexible in business terms to meet our specific needs. I would recommend OSS for any company looking for qualified wireless/semiconductor professionals in Japan"

-- Takashi Sato, Director, Japan Sales, LitePoint Corporation

 

“We used Open Standard Solutions for our recruiting needs to fill the Senior Sales Manager position. OSS provided excellent candidates with relevant background and skills, and professionally followed through with our demanding screening process. We are very happy with the candidate we have eventually hired through OSS and satisfied with the services OSS have provided."

-- Takashi Sato, Representative Director, LitePoint Japan K.K.

 

"Again thank you very much for the interview today. It was short, however, it was a good wake-up call for me to face the reality. I was very surprised that you find out my essentials in a very short time. S.M.-san and I share an understanding, more then 80% of headhunters are not good. You and S.M.-san proved that in super-rare cases headhunters can be top business professionals who understand the industry more than anyone and can run the real business extremely well. I was very unfortunate that I chose a xxxx (agent) to represent me for xxx (client). I am upset, how can a person like him to destroy my career? Far from him, S.M.-san and you are the ones with whom I would like to actually work, you both make me thrilled to talk to.

Nobody before has never talked to me that how the job interviews actually work and how they even make you develop interviewee's careers, I do agree with you.

Especially foreign recruiters never mention demerits of working for the companies,just the merits. But you do objective analysis. Looks like you know the whole detailed background of every company in this industry. Would you please help me to establish my career in the next step. I desperately need your help."

-- Project Manager at N.E.

 

"Timo is a very professional person in the high-tech market. He knows the trend and structure very well. It is true. I would like to say why he is really professional person: He never works for cash, he works for the people.

It is the most important feature for the business consultant that I can trust."

-- Business Development Manager at Semiconductor Company

 

"Hi Timo, I appreciate you taking the time this week to talk about career development.

Before I actually met you, I was expecting another head hunter that would ask for my resume and distribute it to potential employers. This was due to some of the experiences my friends and I have had in the past.

After I met with you things were much different than I expected, and I must say my meeting with you was worthwhile. It had made me open my eyes and understand what the reality is and because of that I have realized what I would really have to do to move on with my career.

You were different in a sense where you would take each person, find their values, guide them in the correct direction so they would be successful and you were more of a career consultant than a headhunter.

I do believe that I had a valuable meeting with you and would like to keep in touch.

Once again, I would like to thank you for contacting me and having a conversation."

-- K.S. June 2011

 

"Timo Halonen-san is a really smart industrialist. He knows variety of global and local macrolevel trends in growth industries which expand from and connect to the latest wireless semiconductor skills and companies.

He always reviews the issues and produce next action quickly.  It is not only producing of candidate or identifying a client company. The understanding in which areas individual is best adding value to client and also providing greatest work satisfaction by being able to use one’s strengths is very rare to find in a career advisory agent.

It seems he always consider what the best possibility is for all parties involved at any given time.

Today, majority of career agents are used by hiring companies’ HR as alternate solution for looking for good candidate since it is easy way for expressing the hiring on the company home page.

However, Timo’s information is not based on what is said on hiring client’s website. I believe it is obtained by his wider communication and continuous effort to develop new alternate information sources on daily basis via industry and business discussions with professionals within the industry. He is really professional hunter and agency. A word of “Keep in touch” is easy word for saying. But it is not easy for continuing actual action. I think only he can do it."

-- H.N., Japan Manager
