Things we’ve done along the way

When did we hire our first employee? When was the first breakfast meeting arranged? We chose little and big moments in our history and created a timeline that goes through our ten years. Get yourself ready and travel back in time with us!

2007

Loihde Advisory is born

A company called Talent Base is founded by Tomi Bergman, Mikko Meriluoto and Mikko Mustakallio. They already have their first major global customer.

2008: The first employee begins work

In May, three is no longer enough, so the company sees its first hired employee.

2009: The one million mark is reached

Net sales hit the one-million-euro milestone, and the team keeps growing. In recruitment, the company relies on the power of social media. The first employee found through social media begins work.

2010: An even ten

The company hits the milestone of 10 consults. In recruitment, the emphasis is on experience, holistic thinking and motivation to develop the company.

2011: The series of breakfast events begins

The first breakfast event for customers and partners is organised. Ten participants attend the event of whom five become new customers.

2013

New international customers

The word has spread. We land two major international customers, allowing our consultants to tackle new interesting projects.

2014: Investments in sales and marketing

We reinvent ourselves. Strategic work is brought to a new level, and sales and marketing are boosted by hiring the first marketing manager.

2015: Expansion to Sweden

After several years of project export, our operations officially expand to Sweden. Our subsidiary Talent Base AB is founded, and the first local top experts are hired.

2016: Picking up speed!

All in all, 20 new employees arrive and net sales keep climbing. Customer satisfaction survey conducted for the second time yields excellent results (NPS 68). The company brand is updated to better match our core competence, services and company culture.

2017

Full steam ahead

The company’s growth remains strong. Both in Finland and in Sweden, the company moves to new premises. During the year, we take a look back, celebrate our anniversary and make plans for the future. Development is happening in the strategy, service offering and organisation alike. Headcount is approaching 60, and the customer satisfaction survey shows magnificent results (eNPS 74).

2021

Part of Loihde

A new chapter in the company’s history began, when Talent Base became a part of Loihde Group on 1 June 2021. The company name also changed from Talent Base to Loihde Advisory on 1 September 2021.

With this step, we will be able to serve our clients with an even more comprehensive range of services for data driven and digital organizations.
