Aktuell Pluss Kft, a family-owned SME in Hungary’s furniture retail sector, was facing a complex hiring challenge. The company needed a professional who could cover both frontend development and UI/UX design — a rare hybrid profile — while also being the right cultural fit for a small, non-corporate team. Without an internal HR department, the company needed external support to find qualified candidates.

Employia supported the search with a lean but targeted sourcing strategy:

- Targeted sourcing: Candidates were identified through Employia’s existing talent pool and outreach in relevant developer and designer communities.

- Profile-based matchmaking: Employia focused on filtering candidates based on previous experience in both UI/UX and frontend development, ensuring technical fluency and design sensibility aligned with SME requirements.

Aktuell Pluss Kft conducted the entire interview and selection process in-house, based on the candidate profiles provided by Employia.

Impact:

- Dual-role position filled without splitting into two hires

- Immediate productivity due to strong skill match

- Cultural fit achieved despite no dedicated HR team
