Hungarian workplaces in chaos – what comes next?

There are serious problems in the Hungarian employment system. There is only partial talk of a crisis. In the intellectual field, labour shortages are very much characteristic during the emergency. My expectation is that fluctuation will increase – Gábor Toldi, Managing Director of DTC solution, outlined one of the biggest challenges facing companies in his interview with Portfolio.

In terms of process, domestic companies have been forced to switch 100% to the online system. While it was not new to the profession to conduct an interview in digital form, it was not a typical story for a recruitment manager to meet a candidate exclusively online, whereas this is the basic lineup today.

There is only partial talk of a crisis. In the intellectual field, labour shortages were also characteristic even during emergencies. There is also an organisation where two colleagues have been working together for more than a year without ever meeting each other.

It was not so much a challenge for the recruits, but rather for the leaders in charge of the recording to judge someone based on the screen and take off the frills caused by the difficulty of the technique.

From the perspective of the working people, the scenario of romantic fraud is quite common, in which criminals first create a fake community profile, such as that of a widowed, good-looking middle-aged man. Then, taking on that identity, they start networking online, promising impossible but highly desirable things.

Hungary, however, is still a low-cost market, thanks to which a surprising amount of work opportunity has come here, which has only intensified in the recent period.

It was difficult to transfer labor.

In general, it can be said that in the intellectual field, job security has significantly increased. The companies that kicked people out at a rapid pace got themselves in great trouble.

Currently, there is crazy competition. The willingness to switch is much lower. It is a good demonstration that there are already companies that have introduced signing a binding contract first and applying this practice to almost every position.
