Joseph Devasia, Managing Partner of Antal International Network added his thoughts on running a recruitment business in India:
How long have you been in the market?
I have been operating in the Indian market since Jan 2007 – four and a half years.
What obstacles did you face in the transition to working there?
When I returned to work in India, I had no existing relations or networks to draw support from, neither did I have any idea of how people in India behave in the business world. One thing that quickly became evident was time keeping, often a meeting would be arranged for a particular time, but was often not stuck to!

Tony Goodwin speaks about the key advantage of LinkedIn
Posted in Global on February 3rd, 2011
From brushing up the traditional CV to a full embrace of online networking, especially LinkedIn, we look at how executives can boost their chances of landing a rewarding role in a steadily recovering jobs market
Although the jury is still out on just how influential LinkedIn is in helping recruiters discover unknowns (LinkedIn claims 25 per cent of FTSE-100 companies hire from it, but recruiters say the figure is five to 10 per cent), experts agree that tending to your online brand is essential. “It’s the minimum now to get a new job,” says Mitchell, “but also the minimum to keep an existing job, too.” It is unlikely, though not impossible, that being on LinkedIn will cause companies to cold-email directors with job offers. But if it does happen, Tony Goodwin, founder of recruiter Antal International, believes there is a key advantage. “Sending CVs to recruitment agencies explicitly says you’re looking for a new job, and this immediately devalues your worth in what is a buyer’s market. Being headhunted means you can command a 15 to 20 per cent salary premium, and online networks are a better way of saying you ‘might’ be available, but ‘you call me’ if you’re interested.”
