In May 2018, a new Executive Search and HR Consulting firm started its operations in Hungary with the aim to offer boutique services to a selected group of clients. Today’s labour market conditions require specialised HR advisors who know their industries in depth and who have the right skills to help organisations grow, be it with executive search or general HR consulting. 20+ years of servicing the most demanding clients and candidates has created a forum of know how that is unrivalled in local and international knowledge within the Hungarian market.
We see our ability to deliver exceptional service and deep understanding of the client and candidates needs as our biggest USP. In order to fulfil this, our business model will be limited to working with a small group of dedicated clients who have a clear vision of what they are looking for and why someone would be motivated to work for them.
Diepeveen & Partners Kft. cooperates with several strategic partners with whom our company jointly undertakes projects. In this way, we can flexibly manage and expand our capacity and take advantage of the knowledge, expertise and network of other professionals. Our founding partner Frido Diepeveen has his ancestral root in Hungary, and our understanding of the local market and our international experience makes us a local expert with international know how.
