When it comes to research on executive career paths and executive career success, a common complaint is that the material is very US focused. Monika Hamori hopes to change all that. With a three-year Marie Curie International Re-Integration research grant from the European Commission, Prof Hamori will be collecting data on European and Spanish executive careers. “It’s an ambitious project,” she explains. “But it’s important because I’ll be filling a gap in the existing research.”
Prof Hamori is well equipped to do so. For a start, she gained hands-on experience of shaping careers while working as a project manager for the Hungarian Productivity Centre in Budapest where her responsibilities included contributing to consulting and training projects on issues of compensation, motivation and teamwork.
For her dissertation research, Prof Hamori worked with two multinational head-hunters and several boutique executive search firms in the US. She has published articles on online recruitment, on how executive search firms work and on the predictors of executive career success. She has [also] contributed to publications such as The Harvard Business Review and the Financial Times’ Mastering Management series.
“I have a huge data set from A top head-hunting firm relating to the careers of 14,000 executives from the financial services industry,” she explains. “And what’s interesting is how idiosyncratic the search process is even within the same office. Searches still tend to reflect the strong personal bias of the individual head-hunter, rather than organisation-wide standards.”
