The hidden job market

Zsofia Lazar

Zsofia Lazar, founder and CEO of Meliora, is an experienced HR expert with more than 15 years of experience in international and matrix-organized companies. Throughout her career, she has helped organizations and leaders successfully navigate transformations, strengthen leadership capabilities, and develop effective, people-centered work environments.

Alongside her work in the corporate world, Zsofia has developed a particular focus on career transitions and re-entry into the workforce. She has experienced firsthand how challenging it can be to return to the job market after a career break—and how difficult it is, especially for women, to establish themselves in a highly competitive environment while also coping with the emotional ups and downs of the job search.

These experiences have shaped her motivation to support people during this crucial phase. Through Meliora, Zsofia offers practical, structured training sessions and personalized one-on-one coaching that guide participants step by step through the entire job application process—from positioning themselves and preparing application materials to networking, interview preparation, and contract negotiations.

Her approach combines strategic expertise with a pragmatic and empathetic style. In doing so, she not only supports her clients with concrete tools and methods, but also builds their self-confidence to ensure a successful and sustainable return to work.
