Sirje is the founder and manager of the company, who also works with clients on a daily basis. Sirje is responsible for the success of recruitment projects for executive managers and members of the management team.
Sirje creates long-term cooperative relationships with clients based on trust. She has recruited managers in a wide variety of fields – hospitals, schools, pharmaceutical companies, universities, manufacturing and construction companies, etc. Hence, many recruited managers have turned to Tammiste Personalibüroo when building their team.
“I consider it my mission to promote both management and recruitment culture in Estonia. Leaders on their own do not get far, lifelong learning and inner growth create the basis for a leader’s success. I am deeply convinced of this. It is my firm opinion that every candidate should leave a job interview with a greater self-awareness. Sustainable development of my company has been a big challenge for me. This means building a functional and well-collaborative professional team and managing it daily. As a manager, I am guided by certain principles, the most important of which is: “If you do the work you love with dedication and passion, the work will give back to you.” All my colleagues know that “we” is always bigger than “me” and only work done very well is worth doing.”
Sirje has an education as a psychologist and work experience as a psychotherapist, which she later supplemented by studying human resources management at EBS. Undergoing communication coach and solution-oriented coaching trainings provided her new skills and professions as an adult trainer-communication coach and as a Certified Professional Coach (ICF).
Her professional career spans two different and yet overlapping fields. For 11 years, while managing the work of the Pärnu Family Counseling Centre and working as a therapist, her clients were families with complicated relationships.
The last 22 years she has been working with companies that want to recruit new employees and develop their teams and companies. More and more, she meets managers who consider self-development important. Thus, she can practice both psychological knowledge and the skills of a therapist.
