For individuals

Motivation & Career Consulting

If you feel like you’ve lost your inner motivation for what you’re doing, or you’re experiencing burnout… or if you need to change careers out of necessity…

  • What motivates you? What drives you? Where do you feel at your best? What could be your next step in your career?

  • You may feel ready for something new, but restarting feels difficult. You’re exploring, thinking, postponing – but no concrete actions have been taken yet.

  • As a first step, we can use the Motivation Map tool to measure and develop your motivation. Motivation is often hard to define or put into words, but this tool helps us make it measurable and structured.

  • We explore what makes your eyes light up, what puts you in a good mood, and what gives you energy in your everyday work life.

  • As a next step, we visualize your future role together and identify the tasks and working conditions you no longer want to deal with.

  • Once this is clear, we can build your job search strategy, shape your personal brand (CV), and prepare you for interviews.

About me

As an HR and career consultant, I help people and opportunities find each other – both in Hungary and internationally, from junior level through to executive positions.

My name is Dóra Tengerdi, and I work in HR, recruitment and selection, executive search, and career coaching.

Over the past 8+ years, I have gained experience as an HR professional, interim recruiter, and independent consultant, working with clients in Hungary and internationally, including the DACH region. Throughout my career, I have been involved in complex recruitment processes, executive search assignments, and the development of HR and hiring systems.

I have conducted several thousand interviews and assessed even more candidates across a wide range of fields, including IT, SAP, engineering, R&D, manufacturing-related, and traditional office roles, as well as leadership and senior executive positions.

I work fluently in both English and German, which allows me to collaborate effectively with international clients and decision-makers.

Alongside recruitment, career coaching has become a key focus of my work. Over the years, I have supported many people in finding jobs in Hungary and abroad, changing careers, redefining their direction, or returning to the labour market – for example after parental leave.

I am especially committed to supporting those who feel stuck in their careers, are experiencing burnout, or are uncertain about their next step.

For me, it is simple:
I don’t just fill positions – I help people find the place where they can truly thrive, both professionally and personally, in the long term.
