Back in the office after Latvia’s May celebrations, and we’re welcoming Friday the best way we know how: together ☕🍰

Spring sunshine outside, coffee and cakes inside, and a team ready for new ideas, conversations, and the busy weeks ahead.

It’s easy to forget how important these shared moments are - but they’re often what bring much-needed positivity to everyday work.

Wishing everyone a warm and inspiring Friday from Talentor Latvia!

Last week, Talentor Latvia with Thibault Normand had the opportunity to attend an event organized by the French Business Club in Latvia, bringing together professionals from real estate development, infrastructure, and representatives from the City of Riga

Also an amazing presentation from Frode Gronvold and Linstow Baltic about the development of the Riga Central Business District.

The discussion started with a look at how the Latvian real estate market has evolved over the past two decades, from growth cycles to today’s investment landscape, including current returns and opportunities.

But what made the conversation particularly interesting was where it led next.

👉 Beyond real estate itself, the discussion shifted toward a broader question:
How does Latvia position itself to attract long-term international investment?

Real estate is often the entry point.
But investors ultimately look at a much wider picture:
- Stability and predictability
- Talent availability
- Infrastructure and long-term vision
- And the overall business environment
In that sense, conversations like these go far beyond a single sector.
They reflect how interconnected real estate, infrastructure, and economic strategy really are.

A very insightful discussion, followed by the opportunity to exchange perspectives with a diverse group of professionals.

The green energy transition is accelerating across Europe - and Latvia is no exception.

What we increasingly see on the ground is that talent is becoming one of the main limiting factors, not capital or strategy.

This article from Talentor International highlights several important dynamics:
• A growing and very real skills gap
• Increasing salary pressure driven by scarcity
• And a key shift - some of tomorrow’s leaders in green energy are not yet in the sector today

In our conversations with clients across energy, infrastructure, and industrial sectors, one thing is clear:

👉 Waiting for “ready-made” talent is no longer a viable strategy.

The organisations that will move fastest are those willing to:
• Look beyond traditional industry boundaries
• Invest in leadership potential, not just experience
• And think early about their long-term talent pipeline

Well worth a read 👇

The green energy revolution is no longer a future ambition; it is a present-day business reality. Governments, corporations, and investors across the globe are accelerating their commitments to net-zero, and the race to deploy clean infrastructure has never been more intense. Yet beneath the optimis...

Great to attend the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in Latvia (SCCL) lunch last week, bringing together a strong group of business leaders for an open discussion with the Head of the State Revenue Service. Thibault Normand represented Talentor Latvia.

It was particularly interesting to hear about the ongoing initiatives around digitalisation and the use of AI to simplify processes, reduce administrative burden, and improve the overall experience for businesses operating in Latvia.

Beyond the presentation itself, these events are always a good reminder of how valuable direct dialogue is, the opportunity to ask questions, challenge perspectives, and better understand how institutions are evolving.

And of course, just as important: the conversations around the table and after the session. Always good to reconnect and exchange views with people facing similar challenges across different industries.

Thank you to the SCCL for organising.

It was great to be back with the Talentor International community for an inspiring and energizing business meeting in Toronto, Canada.

We had the privilege of hearing from two outstanding Keynote Speakers - Jeff Kaye talking about “Building next level Firms” and Karen Schmidt talking about “Mastering Market Mastery” - sharing insights on how to build and scale truly next-level firms. A key takeaway for us was the importance of market mastery, strong teams, and continuous learning as foundations for long-term success.

Some additional (not new but absolutely valid) ideas that really stayed with us from the keynote:

• Becoming a true “market master” means deeply understanding both clients and candidates within your niche not just reacting, but anticipating needs 🎯
• Building a business today is about creating a “business within a business” model, where teams, culture, and infrastructure drive scalability. It allows flexibility and agility to not only survive, but thrive in times when another market shift is approaching us ⚙️
• The shift toward AI-powered tools and data-driven recruiting is no longer optional - it’s already reshaping how we work and compete 🤖
• Long-term success comes from investing in people, ownership mindset, and continuous development not just short-term placements (however now days a terminated, Interim management approach might become a favorable option again) 📈

BUT… What made this gathering special - it was the opportunity to reconnect with colleagues and meet new partners from across the network. These moments remind me how powerful collaboration and shared knowledge can be.

What stood out the most? The energy in the room - a mix of diverse perspectives, fresh thinking, and people who genuinely move things forward. When that kind of mindset comes together, ideas don’t just stay ideas - they turn into action. ⚡

At the same time, it was impossible not to notice that some of our peers couldn’t join us. The current global situation continues to impact businesses and people on many levels, and the recent developments added an angle on many of the topics. Hopefully, we’ll soon be able to meet again with everyone around the same table.

Grateful for the conversations, the insights, and the community. 🌍

P.S. And of course, we always try to discover something special in the countries we visit - this time we experienced the spectacular Niagara Falls, went to an NHL ice hockey game and tasted ice wines at the amazing Trius and Peller winery 🍷
