Human Direct

🎉 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 there’s real demand, value follows.
That’s when Csaba Balazs, a senior software developer at the time, joined the journey. He saw a challenge worth taking:
𝐓𝐨 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝟏𝟎𝟎% 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐄𝐫𝐢𝐤𝐚.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞: 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞, 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬, 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝𝐬.

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 we’ve maintained a 98% retention rate – the people we placed stayed with our clients
That’s one of our greatest professional achievements. We don’t just fill roles.
We help companies make better hiring decisions. We’ve never stopped innovating
Over the years, we launched several initiatives – some of which are still going strong today:
💻 Cipher – IT Salary Calculator
🤖 Friday – People-first AI recruiting software
🎓 Approach Academy – for non-IT hiring & HR advisory
🧭 Beacon – our latest product, helping candidates (not just developers) prepare effectively for interviews 🔗 https://trybeacon.eu/

What a fantastic and inspiring experience we had at the 2024 EFIKOT conference in Cluj-Napoca, organized by RMKT! 🚀💡

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. 🌐

🔄 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

🏆 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!

🌿 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.

🙏 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 didn’t 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.

🤖 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.

👏 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! 💙

Most of you have been in the shoes of a Junior Software Engineer.

There’s a mixture of excitement, curiosity, fear, conscientiousness, and hard work in just starting out in an industry that fascinates you.

Working on architecting features, reviewing code, bug fixing… sounds familiar, right?

Even though the tasks you once were responsible for seem less interesting now, the constant tangible results they produced kept you going.

In their collab article, Jordan Cutler and Addy Osmani talk about the making of a Senior Engineer and what it takes to transition from a junior to a leader successfully.

🤔Use your technical experience to deeply understand the problems teams tackle.
🛠️Resist the temptation of solving issues yourself, even if faster in the short term.
🤝Structure processes and remove systemic barriers for teams to solve challenges sustainably.
💡Foster intrinsic motivation by defining guardrails while giving freedom to steer exact solutions.
🗣️Cultivate influence by building trusted relationships. It will take you further than authority could ever.
📝Set your teams up for autonomy by framing problems effectively!

Connecting with so many tech professionals during our 12 years of experience in tech recruitment and consultancy, we realized how deeply creative many of you are. We always say that software engineering is both creative and analytical, but we are curious about the other ways in which creativity is expressed in your lives.

One thing we love doing is keeping up to date with the experiences and challenges of the tech industry by reading several newsletters and blog posts from software engineers. Observing their expressed through and brings us one step closer to the of the tech work.

Recently, Gregor Ojsteršek posted an article on 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭, 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐰.

Some key takeaways:

⌛ Write articles in a way that your past self would benefit from.

💡 Write about something that you are experienced in and you wish to share your knowledge.

📈Write about things that you are learning right now, include challenges you faced and how you overcame them. Through this practice, the learning process will also benefit.

✌️Consistency is a lot more important than perfection. Pick a writing cadence that is comfortable for you and don’t overthink it.

We are sure many of you have so much valuable knowledge to share with others and we would love to read your perspective on the industry, the everyday challenges, and the aspects of your work that make you excited and determined to continue growing.

💙 So if you are launching your newsletter or you already have one, let us know and we’ll love to share your insight and educate both ourselves and our audience.
