The consultant found his way into tactical procurement at Siemens Energy

Georgette Yalin has been working as a consultant through Unik Resurs for 1.5 years. She is currently working as a tactical buyer at Siemens Energy, where she gets to combine structure, responsibility, and a wide range of contacts in a role that suits her well.

For us at Unik Resurs, Georgette’s journey is a clear example of what a successful consulting assignment can look like. It’s not just about finding the right skills for the right role. It’s also about understanding the person behind the experience, creating a sense of security along the way, and being there for them throughout the entire assignment.

Georgette herself describes what she appreciates most about the collaboration:

“The best part of the collaboration was that I felt seen and well taken care of, and communication always went very smoothly.”

For Georgette, the assignment was interesting because it was in line with her way of working.

“I enjoy working in a structured way and juggling multiple tasks at once, which is why the role of tactical buyer is very motivating for me.”

As a tactical buyer, you need to be able to plan, prioritize, and drive the work forward. The role also requires strong communication skills and the ability to bring structure to a workday involving multiple concurrent processes. It was a combination that suited Georgette well.

The selection process was based on both skills and personality

At Unik Resurs, we work to create sustainable matches. This means we look beyond experience and formal requirements. We want to understand a candidate’s motivations, work style, and personal qualities—and how they align with the client’s actual needs.

Alexandra Linder, Operations Manager for the OST Region at Unik Resurs, recognized early on that Georgette was a strong fit for the assignment.

“She had an interesting profile for the position, met the qualifications, and in the tests she took with us through Assesio, we got a sense of a driven, meticulous, and sociable person—exactly what the client was looking for.”

After our interview, Georgette was introduced to Siemens Energy. There, she made a strong impression and was offered the position.

Alexandra points out that it was the big picture that made the difference:

“She was offered the position partly because of her previous experience, but also because of her personal qualities.”

For us, that is precisely where the strength of a consulting assignment often lies. When the right expertise is combined with the right personal qualities, it creates a match that can stand the test of time.

A Mission That Drives Development

During her time at Siemens Energy, Georgette has grown in her role. She has taken on more responsibility, gained confidence, and become more proactive in her work.

She describes the development as follows:

“This assignment has given me the opportunity to grow as a person, take on a lot of responsibility, and become more confident in myself, since my job involves a lot of travel. I’ve learned to work proactively and find solutions.”

This is an important part of the consultant’s role. A good assignment shouldn’t just meet a client’s needs; it should also give the consultant the opportunity to grow, gain experience, and feel that the work is moving them forward.

For Georgette, this assignment has become an opportunity to put her strengths into practice. She gets to work in a structured way, take on responsibility, and contribute in a professional setting where her skills are needed.

Close collaboration and dialogue throughout the entire project

As a consultant through Unik Resurs, Georgette works at Siemens Energy on a day-to-day basis, but she is also employed by and supported by Unik Resurs. This combination requires clear communication and close follow-up.

For us, ongoing dialogue is an integral part of the consulting engagement. Our consulting managers hold regular check-ins with the consultants, both online and in person.

Alexandra explains why this connection is so important:

“We hold check-ins with our consultants at least once a month, both online and in person. Since we, as consultant managers, aren’t present in the consultants’ day-to-day work, this contact is very important for us to be able to provide support.”

It’s about identifying issues early on, monitoring developments, and ensuring that the consultant has the right conditions in place. It’s also about building a relationship in which the consultant feels comfortable being open.

For Georgette, the support she received from Unik Resurs and consulting manager Alexandra has been an important part of the experience.

“I ALWAYS go on and on about how well you work and how good you are at understanding us. I’ve received the best support from you all, especially my consultant manager, Alexandra.”

She also highlights accessibility as a strength:

“One thing I really appreciate is that they’re always available if you call, and they’re quick to respond to emails as well.”

For us, this is a wonderful confirmation of what we want to achieve. Our consultants should feel that they have someone to turn to—both when everything is going smoothly and when they need support, advice, or a chance to talk.

Conclusion

Georgette’s journey shows just how much a well-thought-out consultant match can mean. When skills, personality, and the client’s needs align in the right way, it creates a solid foundation for both professional growth and long-term value.

For us at Unik Resurs, the role of a consultant is more than just an assignment with a client. It’s a partnership in which we want every consultant to feel valued, secure, and supported over time.

Unik Resurs is a long-term partner in talent acquisition. We work closely with both clients and consultants to create sustainable matches that work in everyday practice and contribute to future growth.
