HR Tech and Talent Trends in CEE - P. Valachovičová, I. Martis, R. Dumitra
By professionals for professionals about Recruitment and Technology! This special episode of the recruiTECH Podcast was recorded live at the first recruiTECH CEE conference, last year. Our host Raluca Dumitra, CMO of eJobs Romania, sat down with two top professionals from the region: Patrícia Valachovičová of Alma Career Slovakia and István Martis, CEO of Profession, Hungary’s leading job portal. Together, they unpacked the evolving HR tech and recruitment landscape in Central and Eastern Europe, diving into both strategy and the human touch behind talent management. From lessons learned in leadership like skipping reference checks or being too soft on underperformance to the growing importance of data-driven HR, the episode was packed with honest insights and practical advice. They explored how HR pros could better communicate the business value of innovation to leadership, especially when it came to cost savings and long-term impact. They also highlighted which HR trends were overrated (hello, misunderstood AI!) and which ones deserved way more attention, like the aging and shrinking European workforce. The message is clear: focus on your skills and strengths rather than your age and seek tailored guidance to navigate the transition!
