Human Direct
๐ 14 years of Human Direct. 14 years of human-centered IT recruitment.
It all started back in November 2011, when Erika Kosa founded Human Direct with a clear mission: to bring organizational psychology into Romanian companies and hiring processes. To her pleasant surprise, IT companies were the most open to motivational frameworks, retention strategies, and quality-based hiring decisions. And where thereโs real demand, value follows.
Thatโs when Csaba Balazs, a senior software developer at the time, joined the journey. He saw a challenge worth taking:

What happened over the next 14 years?
.::. We recruited experts for 1200+ IT roles
.::. We signed contracts with 550+ IT companies
.::. We built a community of 120,000+ tech professionals
.::. And weโve maintained a 98% retention rate โ the people we placed stayed with our clients
Thatโs one of our greatest professional achievements. We donโt just fill roles.
We help companies make better hiring decisions. Weโve never stopped innovating
Over the years, we launched several initiatives โ some of which are still going strong today:
๐ป Cipher โ IT Salary Calculator
๐ค Friday โ People-first AI recruiting software
๐ Approach Academy โ for non-IT hiring & HR advisory
๐งญ Beacon โ our latest product, helping candidates (not just developers) prepare effectively for interviews ๐ https://trybeacon.eu/

What a fantastic and inspiring experience we had at the 2024 EFIKOT conference in Cluj-Napoca, organized by RMKT! ๐๐ก
Erika, Founder & Organizational Psychologist, and Csaba, Founder & Lead Software Engineer fueled their energy and inspiration tanks at EFIKOT, an insightful tech conference on innovation, digitalization, and robotization, topics of high interest for their ongoing projects.
Maybe not many of you know that besides Human Direct, their successful IT recruitment and consulting company, Erika and Csabi also have two original products and own a tech startup: Friday (https://fridayjobs.eu/jobs). This makes them eager to participate in many tech events and connect with young entrepreneurs and senior leaders who share their passion for the industry. ๐
๐ The discussions of the EFIKOT conference were centered on the topic of innovation as seen from 4 different angles:
1. Supply chain
2. Future of Sustainable Mobility
3. The jobs of the future
4. Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Investing
๐ The young researcher Agota Bakos presented us dotLumen - Empowering the Blind, a product that revolutionizes the mobility of the visually impaired with Spatial Navigation AI. dotLumen has been selected as a finalist for the Prizes 2023, out of over 1,450 applications!
๐ฟ Nagy Zsolt discussed the importance of ESG. With the right corporate policies in place, companies can make better decisions that safeguard the environment and address important issues, such as climate change, while also attracting socially conscious investors.
๐ With her transparency, honesty, and encouraging words, Kinga Daradics, CEO of Emag, was a true example of what it means to pay it forward to the new generation. Her career path is a testament to her philosophy: she didnโt make it a goal to become a CEO, but she focused on the impact she can have on the people and organizations around her. When you lead with your purpose, growth follows.
๐ค Levente Szasz, university lecturer, and Otto Csiki, researcher, caught our attention with the nine pillars of Industry 4.0. They also presented a holistic approach to the challenges of HR in the face of digitalization, one of the main effects of industry 4.0 technologies on HR. What is the role of human resources in adopting digital manufacturing technologies? What are the skills and competencies different organizational levels need? We got answers to these questions and many more, and since their research is so relevant to the tech industry and our activity at Human Direct, we are eager to write an article covering the new findings.
๐ Congratulations RMKT for organizing such a high-quality event, and thank you for fostering an engaging context for debates and idea-sharing within our community. See you next year! ๐

Adelina is our youngest team member, and you know what they say: strong essences are kept in small bottles โจ
During the celebratory birthday lunch we had together, we seized the opportunity to tell her the many reasons we appreciate her as a colleague ๐ and delighted in delicious food and wholesome conversations.
Adelina has been part of our team for almost 2 years now, and we have this funny saying: 1 year in Human Direct is like 2 recruiting somewhere else ๐
So itโs safe to say she is already a remarkable specialist in the field, and we count on her big time for our daily activity in HD.
Thank you for shining your light! ๐
