In this environment, the strategic role of HR becomes increasingly valuable, along with the executive decision support it provides — built on decades of experience and international insight.

Prime by JobGroup – The New Formula for Leadership

Prime by JobGroup, the executive search division of JobGroup, supports its clients in filling executive positions and strategically planning executive succession with 33 years of professional experience and highly qualified senior consultants with deep industry specialization.

Our focus is not only on finding a professionally suitable executive for our clients. We also take responsibility for ensuring that the selected executive aligns with the organization’s strategy, culture, and long-term objectives. According to the Prime approach, executive search is not primarily about operational recruitment, but about strategic advisory work that has a real impact on business performance.

International Partnership and Global Leadership Insight

Prime by JobGroup is the only Hungarian member of the global network of the International Executive Search Federation (IESF), which currently brings together executive search experts from 27 countries. This partnership enables us to support our clients based on international benchmarks, trends, and leadership experience — whether the role is domestic, regional, or global.

One of the federation’s key professional initiatives is a global CEO survey, which we are conducting for the second time this year with the participation of nearly one hundred senior executives from Hungary.

Global CEO Survey – CEO Priorities for 2026

During the survey, nearly 1,000 chief executives across 27 countries were asked about the most important challenges, strategic focus areas, and leadership priorities for the 2026 business year.

Based on their responses, the following topics are at the forefront of executive thinking in 2026:

* Talent acquisition and retention
*  Market expansion and international growth
* Cost management and profitability
* Managing geopolitical and economic risks
* Organizational and cultural transformation
* Digital transformation and artificial intelligence
 

The final results of the research will be published on our website in March 2026. Last year’s findings are available here.

Supporting Leadership Decisions with Advisory HR Solutions

The purpose of study and international collaboration is not only to map trends. The insights gained are directly integrated into the complex HR solutions through which we support our clients as a strategic partner.

Beyond executive search, our expert team provides executive-level support in the following areas as well:

* Pay transparency directive, that goes beyond HR projects and involve senior leadership through communication development and leadership coaching tools
* Succession pool building and Talent mapping
* Interim HR management
* Outplacement programs
* Assessment and Development Centers for both selection and employee development

These solutions help our partners not only respond to changes in the labor market, but shape their organizational operations proactively and consciously.

One of the most important questions for every company in the coming period will be: How can organizations remain competitive and flexible while also becoming an attractive workplace in today’s uncertain environment?

Prime by JobGroup provides strategic, executive-level support in answering this question.
