30 Years of Executive Search Consultancy
Telkes Consulting has been founded in 1990, so our history started more than three decades ago. We continuously strive to have an accurate understanding of the HR market, not only domestically but also on a European level. Telkes Consulting represents Hungary in the IMD International Search Group, an international headhunting organization. In our work, we apply proven international practices and stay up-to-date with the latest search methods and technologies.
In our senior and mid-management searches, our executive search consultants work as dedicated advisors, providing reliable professional advice to both parties—the Client and the Candidates. The Telkes Team approaches each executive search project uniquely, especially regarding to specific individual needs. Our highly trained consultants are committed to representing and balancing both the Client’s needs and the Candidate’s aspirations, ensuring that each placement aligns with the candidate’s talents and career path.
We execute searches with maximum focus, as we work on a notably short, four-week project timeline. We facilitate continuous communication, feedback, and coordination between the Client and Candidates during the executive search project.
Our goal is to identify the best candidate for our client who through his/her skills and personality will significantly contribute to the Client’s business growth and development. Telkes Team equally ensures that the position offers our Candidate an opportunity for motivating professional advancement.

Local and Global HR Knowledge
Networking and Market Knowledge
According to our 30-year market presence, we have an extensive, active network among decision-making leaders in the economic sector, who often support our work with consultations, professional recommendations, and references.
