Altogether, Maru group company MDSC Systems team <strong>needs over 20 new assembly workers <\/strong>to keep up with the expansion of container solutions production.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are five key learnings from the job fair by HR Manager Ave Nermann:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Always be welcoming.<\/strong> This is the most important thing, as you can ruin your company\u2019s reputation by as much as a grumpy \u201eHello!\u201c. People have questions, and you are there to answer them. You must also answer the questions of those who don\u2019t seem to be the right match.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make it visual.<\/strong> You are a walking billboard, so make yourself a representative of your company. Wear your brand on T-shirts. Set up banners.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Double your print-outs.<\/strong> If you think you can get away with 50 sheets of print-outs, take another 50 with you \u2013 that\u2019s exactly what we wished we had done after running out of our flyers after the first hour. (Sorry, trees! Job seekers just need some privacy studying the one-pager. Luckily, asking people to take photos is plan B.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Give answers, not evasion.<\/strong> Candidates want direct answers. The top three questions we heard were about location, type of work (and if it\u2019s suitable for women), and pay. Be ready with honest, specific answers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Highlight your competitive edge.<\/strong> What makes you a great place to work, and does it matter for candidates? For us, job seekers valued the chance to work a single shift (no nights), have an easily accessible location via a city bus, and work indoors. And it was much appreciated that for heavy loads, MDSC uses a crane, not humans.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>MDSC is known for our <a href=\"https:\/\/marudefence.com\/\">Maru Defence<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/rollingunit.com\/\">Rolling Unit<\/a> brands, which create mobile expandable spaces for global markets.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/maru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ave-ja-Anett-varbamispaeval-sept-2025-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-21454\" src=\"https:\/\/maru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ave-ja-Anett-varbamispaeval-sept-2025-1080x1440.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"657\" height=\"876\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ave-ja-Anett-varbamispaeval-sept-2025-1080x1440.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.maru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ave-ja-Anett-varbamispaeval-sept-2025-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 657px) 100vw, 657px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>At the T\u00f6\u00f6tukassa Tallinn job fair, MDSC Systems was represented by HR Manager Ave Nermann and Office Assistant Annett P\u00e4rs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/maru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Konteinerlahenduste-montaazitooline_flaier_page-0001.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21461\" src=\"https:\/\/maru.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Konteinerlahenduste-montaazitooline_flaier_page-0001.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"874\" height=\"1241\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the aim to find new team members, HR Manager Ave Nermann and Office Assistant Annett P\u00e4rs of MDSC Systems&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21454,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"class_list":["post-21453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
