CSG Talent Working in Partnership

10 Years of Trust: Supporting Metso’s Growth Through Executive Recruitment

Metso is a global leader in sustainable technology and services for the mining, aggregates, recycling, and metals refining industries. With around 17,000 employees across approximately 50 countries, the company combines heavy-duty processing equipment with digital automation and end-to-end services. 

Headquartered in Finland, Metso reported sales of about €4.9 billion in 2024, driven by its global network and emphasis on energy, water, and carbon efficient solutions. Metso is known for its mining expertise and innovation, helping clients boost productivity while reducing environmental impact and operating costs. 

With offices across the globe, Metso is a fantastic employer of choice – with various office locations being awarded ‘Great Place to Work’ in recent years. Metso is committed to building a culture where employees can thrive, in an inclusive and rewarding environment ensuring growth and diverse career opportunities for all. 

Meeting the Demands of Niche Mining Roles 

Metso has exceptional employee tenure, with many people staying and progressing through the business for years. But as some of those senior team members retire or move on, there’s a need to bring in new talent who can grow into future leadership roles. Over time, filling vacancies has increasingly required Metso to become more flexible in their approach to hiring by securing professionals with sought after skillsets who can enter the business, add value and progress their career at Metso. 

Because many of their positions are so niche and require experience working with very specific equipment, the pool of available candidates is relatively limited. Therefore, collaborating with a mining recruitment partner who possesses an extensive global talent network of mining professionals has been key for Metso. 

A Global Talent Solution Built on Partnership 

CSG Talent has worked closely with Metso since 2015, building a strong partnership based on trust and a deep understanding of how they work. Because CSG Talent has supported Metso with their recruitment for a decade, there’s no need to start from scratch for every new role. There is already a strong understanding of their business, their products, and the type of candidate who will best fit their culture, allowing CSG Talent to work with pace, precision, and expertise for every hire at Metso, no matter which global location, job function or seniority.  

With a dedicated mining recruitment team and a global network of mining professionals, CSG Talent is well equipped to identify and engage niche talent. Metso typically receives a shortlist within one week of the initial briefing, ensuring minimal delays to the hiring process. 

CSG Talent also supports Metso by providing candidate engagement packs that make it easier for hiring managers to review candidates and give applicants a clear picture of what their role will be within the business. Metso values the candidate packs because they make all the relevant details easily accessible, which significantly improves candidate experience and employer branding. 

The Impact of True Collaboration 

The long-standing partnership between Metso and CSG Talent continues to deliver strong results. In recent months alone, CSG Talent has supported Metso in filling a range of roles, including: 

  • Technical Support Manager 

  • Vice President of Sales & Service 

  • Technical Sales Support 

  • Senior Sales Support Engineer 

Metso’s organised systems and processes make this a truly strong partnership. Their hiring managers clearly define interview stages and timelines, as well as listening closely to CSG Talent’s market insights on competitive salary offers. This two-way respect creates a seamless experience for everyone involved. 

Communication is another key strength of the partnership. CSG Talent maintains regular, open contact with Metso’s hiring managers, providing updates and feedback through calls, texts, and emails. This open dialogue ensures both sides stay aligned throughout each search, helping to build trust and make decisions quickly. Candidates appreciate the collaborative feel of the process, which reflects Metso’s internal culture just as much as the recruitment process itself. 

Together, Metso and CSG Talent have created an ongoing strategic partnership that continues to succeed as Metso grows and innovates.
