During the mid-2000s Tom worked together with me in my team based in London. He was actively and successfully using social media in recruitment. This was something that was not widely used at the time and it did put another dimension on the search for the right candidate. It was astonishing how he systematically used LinkedIn and other tools to reach out to potential clients and candidates. Some of us were more actively using LinkedIn than others, but no one was leveraging these new tools as systematically as Tom. Today it is common practice to use tools as LinkedIn, who could have guessed they would have such a big impact on the way recruiters work.

Sonny Dudas, Huntress Group (UK)

Tom oli pitämässä koulutusohjelmassamme tietoiskua sosiaalisen median hyödyntämisestä työnhaussa. Myös henkilöbrändäys sosiaalisessa mediassa ja rekrytointimarkkinoiden muutos olivat teemoina vahvasti mukana. Tomin innostus aiheeseen oli tarttuvaa laatua: kaikki osallistujat päivittivät mm. LinkedIn-profiilinsa Tomin ohjeiden mukaan ja sillä tiellä olemme edelleen. Puhujana Tom on yhtä aikaa sekä vakuuttava, innostunut että osaava.

Heini Ala-Vannesluoma, Edutech/Tampereen teknillinen yliopisto

Tom Laine omaa ainutlaatuisen osaamisen sosiaalisen median ja työnhaun-saralla. Tom on meidän kiitetyimpiä kouluttajiamme.

Now I know why I need LinkedIn and how to utilise it!

Tom has a great deal of expertise and extensive knowledge on his own area. He is very innovative and efficient in his work. He has great performance skills and is always pleasant to work with. We were very fortunate to have him with us in this particular project and really look forward for our co-operations to continue and expand.

Antti Moilanen, Business Oulu, Vercco-hanke

I had privilege to participate social media seminar held by Tom Laine at Proacademy to entrepreneur students. As a speaker Tom is really enthusiastic and inspiring, but what really impressed me was his ability to teach how to use social media in business better than any social media consultant I have seen. Tom is able to see what works and what doesn't work in social media. I can warmly recommend Tom Laine.

Ilkka Sallinen, ProAkatemia, Tampere

Tom has been greatly helpful for us by facilitating the reach of international customers especially from UK by organising and participating in the meetings and making introductions through his connections. He has been also a knowledgeable advisor in the matters related to social media, his opinion is always valuable to hear.

Aki Kakko, Joberate Ltd., UK

Tom was exactly what we needed to quickly get the big picture of social media considering our precise situation as a company planning to recruit. Advice he gave us was down to earth, practical, and right to the point. Time and money well invested, no excessive gibberish.

Tom puhuu sosiaalisesta mediasta ymmärrettävästi kuin voista ja leivästä. Hän on todellinen asiantuntija mutta saamamme vinkit olivat hyvin käytännönläheisiä. Saimme hyvän kokonaiskuvan eri kanavista ja ajatuksen siitä mihin meidän kannattaa keskittyä.

Jussi Nousiainen, Verkkotiedottaja, Tekniikan akateemiset TEK, Helsinki

Tom on erittäin ammattitaitoinen ja luotettava yhteistyökumppani. Hän osaa huomioida yleisön tarpeet ja toiveet ja pystyy avaamaan sosiaalisen median maailman hyvin konkreettisesti ja ymmärrettävästi. Tomilla on hyvin laaja tieto- ja kokemuspohja sosiaalisen median maailmasta, jonka vuoksi hänen koulutuksissaan voidaan hyvinkin professionaaliselle tasolle saakka. Olen ollut erittäin tyytyväinen Tomin koulutuksiin sekä tilaajana, että mm. Linkedin -koulutukseen osallistujana.

VALOA is an ESF-funded project, which aims to increase employment opportunities of international degree students studying in Finland. The project is coordinated by the University of Helsinki and the University of Oulu as well as University of Lapland are partners in the project. Tom is a member of VALOA advisory board in Oulu and his wide knowledge of recruiting and business life has been a really great help. He has also consulted the project how to utilize social media in its operations.

On February 2011 VALOA project organized a ”Step by Step to Finnish Work Life” - Info event for international students and higher education staff at the University of Oulu, where Tom gave a lecture about Social Media in Job Hunting and Recruiting. Tom is an expert in social media issues and very inspiring as a speaker. He got really good feedback from the audience and I can really recommend him as a speaker, trainer or consult.

He has wide knowledge of SoMe world and he is very willing to transfer his learnings to listeners and very helpful even after trainings. He has ability to make listeners get excited about the issue, create an open atmosphere and it is easy to ask questions and communicate with him during the session. I can warmly recommend his trainings.

Tom on erittäin ammattitaitoinen sosiaalisen median osaaja, joka vakuuttaa kuulijansa laajalla tieto- ja kokemustaustallaan. Helposti lähestyttävänä persoonana hän onnistuu herättämään kiinnostuksen sosiaalisen median maailmaan myös noviiseissa. Olemme olleet erittäin tyytyväisiä Tomin koulutuksiin, joista olen myös itse oppinut aina jotain uutta. Ammattitaitoiseen yhteystyökumppaniin on helppo luottaa.

Heidi Hännikäinen, Agronomiliitto, Helsinki

Tom on sosiaalisen median ja kouluttamisen vahva ammattilainen. Hän osaa asiansa, hänen koulutukset ovat ajankohtaisia sisällöltään sekä hänellä on innostava ote asiaan. Olemme olleet tyytyväisiä yhteistyöhön ja voin suositella Tomia sosiaalisen median asiantuntijana ja kouluttajana.

Minna Karukka, Oamk, Kuusio-hanke

Tom Laineen vetämä “How to utilize social media in job hunting” –koulutus todella avasi silmäni uusille mahdollisuuksille työn hakemiseen nykyaikaisilla menetelmillä. Olen kuullut monelta kolleegaltani oikein hyviä arvioita tästä koulutuksesta ja olen itsekin suositellut sitä useassa yhteydessä.

Tom Laineen luento sosiaalisen median hyödyntämisestä työhaussa Salon Voimalan asiakkaille oli loistava. Luennon aihe oli kuulijoille uutta sekä ajankohtaista ja mikä tärkeintä, se antoi konkreettisia neuvoja ja työkaluja työnhakuun. Luennolla tutkittiin sosiaalista mediaa pintaa syvemmältä ja uusista näkökulmista. Luennoitsijana Tom on erittäin miellyttävä, asiantunteva ja kuulijat huomioonottava. Saimme luennon jälkeen runsaasti positiivista palautetta osallistujilta, kiitos siis Tomille, joka toi asiakkaillemme paljon uutta tietoa ja ennen kaikkea uutta potkua ja innostusta työnhakuun!
