Rocka Sockar

Today we are “rocking our socks” for World Down Syndrome Day. With this simple gesture – to rock the socks, we all have a chance to stand up for diversity in society and all people’s equal value and rights. We respect that we are all different and yet the same. A person diagnosed with Down’s syndrome is an individual with unique qualities and with the same basic needs as all other people: to be loved, to give, to belong.
So join us, and “rock the socks” for diversity and everyone’s value.

Happy International Women’s Day!

Happy International Women’s Day to all the women out there. We wish you a day as beautiful as you are.

“Achieving gender equality and empowering women and girls is the unfinished business of our time, and the greatest human rights challenge in our world.” — UN Secretary-General, António Guterres

As UN write on their website: International Women’s Day is a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities.

At Certaincy we celebrate this day. We hope that the progress for equality will continue. Our internal work with our value diversity, is something we work with more and more. In our CSR policy it states that “We respect and value diversity. We treat everyone equally in terms of gender, nationality, religion, age, sexual orientation, disability and background. Business activities such as hiring, training, compensation, promotions, terminations and sponsored social and recreational activities are conducted without discrimination. Diversity creates an innovative environment. Our differences shape Certaincy AB and our corporate culture and values remain central to our mutual success.”

Happy International Women’s Day!

Ready for CHARM 2018 2,0?

For students at Chalmers participating at CHARM 2018, we have interviewed two of our consultants that can give you some advice when you are looking for your future employer. Our second interview is with Erik Nilsson.

Name: Erik Nilsson

What did you study?
Chemical engineering & Physics, Chalmers

What advice would you give to someone who is now looking for their first job after finishing their education?
Do not focus all your energy on finding a job with a perfect match to your education. There are so many options out there that are just as fun but was never mentioned in school. Do not be afraid to explore them.
With a good employer it is often possible to adapt your assignment at work to your specific skills and interests.
Many companies rely on reports and other documentation in Excel, learn to master it and enjoy an easier life when you finally get your first assignment.

How come you chose to start working at Certaincy?
I got in contact with Certaincy by coincident. I wanted to work at Volvo Cars as a consultant and applied for an opening at another company that forwarded me to Certaincy. I decided to join their team as they seemed to be a good company. They yet have to prove me wrong.

I got the assignment at Volvo Cars. After some time I wanted to change assignment and see something different. Today I work as a component engineer at CEVT at the electrical engineering department.

What would you say is the best about Certaincy?
Certaincy have a very friendly atmosphere and it is always fun to meet the colleagues on company activities.
I like that there are an equal amount of male and females at Certaincy, something that I have not experienced on my assignments.

This year Certaincy will not have a stand at CHARM 2018, but we will be around during both days. If you wish to meet us at Chalmers, please contact:
