The Antal strategy encompasses a three-pronged approach.

We continue to look to organically expand within the existing group of offices. This involves both strengthening and diversifying our existing speciality coverage, whether skill-based or sector-based, in countries we have physical offices in and new, to enhance our robust recruitment solution to service any business looking to hire professionals. We also look at where we can effectively broaden our service offering, with current capabilities including permanent, contract, temporary, RPO, outsourcing and executive search solutions.

The organic expansion works in tandem with our Network growth strategy, of partnering with experienced industry experts to open offices in new locations with the knowledge and experience in both known and new areas of speciality, to further our ability to service a wide range of clients world-wide; regardless of clients’ scale, needs, location, culture or language.

The combination of our physical offices operating across 30+ countries in synergy, with experience in a variety of expertise, uniquely positions us as an international recruitment business with the coverage of a generalist, but often with the knowledge of a specialist. Our proven track record over the last 28 years has shown this to be effective in helping to provide an optimum solution to our clients, candidates and colleagues.

The third prong of strategic growth comes in the form of mergers and acquisitions. We keep a keen eye on recruitment businesses operating in areas we already have expertise, in new areas with opportunities for growth, and businesses who we believe will provide further successful synergy to our existing offices. Our first acquisition occurred in 2011 with UK-based Parkside Recruitment, and more recently with the reacquisition of Antal Russia CIS in 2017.
