Blog 2025 AMS Radu Bonchis Intro

Romania's IT and telecom sectors are among the fastest-growing in the region, with cities like Bucharest and Cluj-Napoca emerging as key tech centers. At the same time, demand for top executives and tech talent continues to rise, making the country a strategic location for companies looking to scale with the right leadership and expertise, which is no surprise for us at Talentor.

Looking to elevate the support for international and local stakeholders seeking high-level IT professionals in Romania, we are pleased to announce our partnership with AMS Accelerate IT, based in Bucharest and led by CEO Radu Bonchis, AMS bring to the Talentor network more than 18 years of experience in IT recruitment and talent management with a tailored approach to partners across that same sector worldwide.


Let's find out more about Radu and AMS’s unique philosophy rooted in empathy, flexibility, curiosity, and care, in this short interview:

1. Bună ziua, Radu, bine ai venit la Talentor! Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? Any fun facts you can share?

With a background in Psychology, I eventually found myself drawn to NLP, which opened up exciting new perspectives for me. I'm a father of three, a regular at the gym, and feel equally at home on skis or in the sea. I tend to seek out challenges and push myself outside my comfort zone—it's part of who I am. In my downtime, I enjoy reading both history and science fiction, and I’m also an avid fan of great films.

2. What is your favorite thing about the recruitment and executive search industry?

The customer always comes first in my mind, with my team following closely behind. There are two moments I particularly enjoy in working with clients: when they place their trust in us by signing on, and when they see that we’ve delivered by making the right hire. Those two moments are my biggest sources of motivation—they're my personal serotonin boosts.

3. Could you share with us a little bit about your beginnings in this industry?

I was a state employee who decided to resign and join the private sector, only to be convinced after less than a year to set up my company. I started with general recruitment and fell in love with technology recruitment about 10 years ago.

That feeling of inadequacy in a system that didn’t fit me became the push I needed to take a leap and build something of my own, my company.

One of the most important lessons I've learned in my career is that nothing stays the same—whether things are going well or not, change is inevitable. The key is to stay prepared, and when you're not, learn to adapt quickly and navigate the change as it unfolds.

4. What can you tell us about AMS Accelerate IT, and what sets you apart from competitors?

AMS Accelerate  IT is a values-driven IT and white collar recruitment agency with over 18 years of experience. We have become one of the largest IT recruitment agencies in Romania. 
We cover all areas of IT and software development, and at our clients' request, we've also taken on some recruitment projects beyond tech.

What sets us apart is our commitment to delivering and our refusal to sugarcoat things when challenges arise. Effort, commitment, and honesty are at our core.

We work proactively to ensure our clients experience a smooth, predictable, and transparent recruitment process in Romania—free of unpleasant surprises.

5. Why did you decide to join the Talentor network?

What drew me to the Talentor network was the energy—the openness and generosity I saw in its members. I hope it becomes a space of confirmation, validation, change, and growth for me. I truly believe there’s so much to learn from others. While success may seem to have a thousand different paths, I’m convinced there’s a narrow, shared one underneath it all—and I’m here to discover those patterns.

Talentor in 3 words: Learning, support, and growth.

A big thank you to Radu Bonchiș for sharing his insights and vision with us. We’re truly excited about the partnership between Talentor and AMS Accelerate IT, and we look forward to creating real value together for clients in Romania and beyond. Welcome to the #TalentorCommunity, Radu!
