Our top priority is to act in our clients interests at all times and to help them succeed and grow in their market. As your partner, we want to continue to assist you with your HR projects in the future. Our candidates are also clients, that is why we always treat them with respect and flexibility, and are pleased to provide personal career development consulting. Our goal is to create long-lasting relationships. 

 

 

The most important aspect of our work is to add value to our clients according to their interests and expectations. Whether it is a small enterprise or a large one, a local company or an international corporation, an authority or a public utility company, P&P handles each and every project with the same diligence and care. 

 

All our senior consultants have many years of experience and successful track records in management, business and HR consulting, both in local and international companies, and all are fluent in several foreign languages. Our professionals use these skills to adapt each project to the client's precise needs, analyze problems from the outset and create the best individual solution. The search process starts with an in-depth review of the current business environment and a detailed description of the professional background and personal qualities required for the position to be filled. 

 

In addition to absolute professionalism, we feel it is crucial to provide personal attention as well. This means that each project is run by the same consultant from the initial meeting to signing the contract with the successful candidate; the experiences accumulated during many successfully executed assignments generate synergies. This close cooperation between client and consultant can be invaluable when it comes to the market entry of international companies, developing new positions or responsibilities, and cross-border executive searches.

 

Candidates are identified using various sources. Our continually updated database featuring over 10,000 resumes, the personal network of our consultants, and applications received through advertisements and our own web-site will cover the information and knowledge base of consultants, researchers and industry experts.      

              

The approach to potential candidates substantially influences the quality of a search. In addition to fair information about the client’s professional and personal expectations, company culture, and challenges and risks of the position offered, we are also pleased to advise candidates regarding their own career and future prospects. Most candidates appreciate our interview style, which is professional and personal at the same time. This results in lasting contacts in the form of an increasing number of valuable ”informal associates” both among those looking for and offering jobs.

 

The interviews are focused primarily around professional achievements rather than education and training. The answers provide a deeper insight into the personal values of the candidates, and their abilities to match the job requirements and integrate into the corporate environment.

 

It is an increasingly important challenge in the fast-changing business world to identify, develop and retain valuable managers and employees. Our consultants use their business experience, supported by internationally recognized tests, to assess the quality and potential of managers and staff.

 

Each project is adapted to the client's individual needs and structured into integrated phases. In the first phase the goals are precisely and carefully established in painstaking joint preparation work with the client. In the second phase, likely candidates are assessed according to 3 criteria:

1.   a review of their professional career,

2.   an internationally recognized test (Profiles, 360° etc.) and

3.   a structured interview based on guidelines previously agreed on with the client.

 

Today's fast-changing markets can sometimes unexpectedly place a company in the unpleasant situation of having to let valuable employees go through no fault of their own; P&P's outplacement services can ease the consequences for those affected and enhance the employer's overall reputation.

 

Companies with headquarters in Hungary have benefited from P&P's cross-border experience when expanding in the CEE region, from Albania to the Ukraine. In these assignments we cooperate closely with our associated P&P offices in the target countries; project management and coordination, however, are always handled by our designated senior consultant up to the final closing. Offices of the P&P Group in Belgrade, Bratislava, Bucharest, Kiev, Moscow, Ljubljana, Prague, Sofia, Tirana and Zagreb are managed by highly qualified English-speaking local professionals, who have the necessary skills, experience, best practice methods and a proven track record to execute even complex projects, as well as a broad network of contacts and access to databases of professionals active in various industries. 

 

In cross-border projects initiated outside Hungary, P&P provides the same services in Hungary or the CEE region.

 

Following the assessment of the candidates we consult our clients to make any necessary final adjustments to the project. We are also pleased to advise on compensation packages, employment contracts, etc.
