In a long interview published in UNI in&out 2025 Nyár, Rózsai Rezső, CEO of KPMG Magyarország, outlined the firm’s hiring philosophy, the role of graduates at KPMG, and how artificial intelligence is reshaping everyday work.
When recruiting new colleagues, KPMG places strong emphasis on how well a candidate can be trained. The company does not prioritize only those with the highest grades from the best universities; instead it looks for people who are open, motivated, able to learn and develop, and willing to adapt to constant change. These qualities have grown in importance with the rapid spread of generative AI.
Rózsai noted that KPMG has been using machine learning–based systems for more than ten years, but the recent generative AI wave has brought the topic back to the fore. “The most important thing is to learn to collaborate with AI — this will be one of the key capabilities in the future,” the CEO said.
His summer observations are supported by KPMG’s CEO Outlook published in October: the survey, which included 1,350 business leaders from around the world, found that companies are preparing to hire and are placing strong emphasis on qualifications and retrainability.
Rózsai emphasized that KPMG is now far more than a traditional audit and tax advisory firm: it has become a universal consulting company with many specialties and a strong technology focus. This is increasingly clear to younger professionals, and the firm accepts responsibility for nurturing future talent.
At KPMG, graduates become full members of client-facing teams from day one, working on real projects with real responsibilities. That does not mean they are left to manage alone: an intensive support and mentorship network surrounds them, enabling continuous, step-by-step development.
“We are continuously open to growth — to new colleagues and new ideas alike. We believe that development and flourishing require a secure space where our people can find the opportunities closest to them,” Rózsai said.
KPMG’s recruitment approach, together with findings from its CEO Outlook, suggests the near-term labour market will favour those who are trainable, tech-aware, and able to work effectively with AI systems.
