Teamtailor is a global recruitment software company with approximately 12,000 customer companies worldwide with headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden. Richard Sundman serves as the Sales Lead for Finland, responsible for a team of nine account executives in their Helsinki office, where they recently introduced Vetrospace XS+ pods to improve workspace functionality.
When Teamtailor moved into their current office space, they faced a common workplace dilemma. Despite having a spacious office, the large rooms offered limited privacy and created acoustic challenges. With 15 team members who typically come to the office about three days per week, they could only accommodate three calls or meetings at the same time before noise became disruptive.
“I wanted us to be able to come into the office more to work together, while still having the privacy to have calls and meetings without being interrupted by background noise,” Sundman explained. They had previously used a pod from another provider but found it inadequate for their needs.
Sundman discovered VETROSPACE XS+ pods at an industry fair where both companies had booths. He then evaluated three different pod providers before making his decision. Several factors influenced his choice:
“Budget was obviously a factor since I needed approval from our HQ in Stockholm,” Sundman noted. “But value for money and quality were equally important.”
Air quality was a significant concern based on previous experiences. “It’s quite common to have small pods where the air runs out after 30 minutes, which isn’t optimal for hour-long meetings. You feel exhausted and tired,” he explained. Having a well-ventilated office work pod was critical for maintaining energy levels throughout the day.
Sundman was also looking for versatility. “I think it’s great having this electronic table because you can decide if you want to stand during a meeting or sit down.”
What ultimately set Vetrospace apart was their customer-centric approach. “Some solutions you can just buy online with a company card, but I wanted the interaction to discuss questions and options. I felt that with Vetrospace, we got so much more for the price.” The purchase was agreed through Vetrospace’s leasing partner, making it a cost-effective investment and a smart addition to their workspace.
Teamtailor installed two Vetrospace XS+ pods in the corners of their existing meeting rooms. “We had this corner which we didn’t use for anything. It was just useless square meters that we still pay rent for,” Sundman explained.
The pods immediately transformed their office workspace dynamics:
Multiple Simultaneous Meetings: “I can have a colleague in the same room having another meeting, but since the soundproofing works well, we’re not interrupting each other.”
Increased Office Attendance: “It’s easier to come into the office knowing there’s always a private space for meetings or calls.”
Enhanced Team Collaboration: “We’re more productive when we’re at the office because there are so many things you miss remotely, like learning from your peers.”
Based on their experience, Sundman highly recommends Vetrospace XS+ pods for companies looking for high-end, customizable, and functional office pods. The combination of excellent air quality, acoustic performance, and thoughtful design makes Vetrospace an ideal solution for modern work environments.
