Our partners and team

Adriana Kalocsa
Recruitment and Executive Search Consultant

I’ve started my career as an HR Consultant at a Recruitment company where FMCG and Retail companies belonged to me and I recruited for Sales, HR and Marketing roles regardless of the industry.

In 2010, I continued my career at DIAGEO as a Talent Acquisition Specialist working also on local BSC roles and international roles as well mainly in Finance, Accounting and Controlling. In 2013 I became the Leader of the resourcing team.

In 2014, I joined Vodafone Hungary and one year later I became the Senior Manager for Recruitment and Employer Branding, winning several awards for the company.

In 2020 I gave birth to my son and during the maternity period I started Executive Search. I founded my own Executive Search and Recruitment company in 2022.

With 15+ years of experience in several fields in Recruitment and Executive Search I am proud to have a growing number of satisfied clients. (See some of the references below.) My experience is mainly from Services, Financial Services, SSCs, Engineering, Space Industry, IT/ICT, FMCG, Retail and Manufacturing companies.
