Management and executive recruiter, Antal International, has expanded its global network with four new offices in Egypt, Pakistan, Ghana and the Philippines. Eleven other offices have joined the network over the past twelve months in locations as diverse as Nigeria, Malta, Belgium and South Africa and Accrington and London’s Docklands in the UK. The complete network now encompasses 45 offices across 27 countries.

“In a lot of these countries, the opening of our offices represents the first time an international recruitment firm has established a genuine local presence,” says Sarah Jones, Antal’s Operations Director. “Egypt, for example, is a thriving market which to date has been serviced either by purely domestic players or by international recruiters based out of the UK or the Gulf. We’ve had a tremendous response from the HR community in the country which simply hasn’t had direct access to this level of executive search offering before.”

“This rate of expansion demonstrates Antal’s methodology and approach to finding and placing top talent, particularly in the 25-35 year old category of “Rising Stars”, is without equal in the industry ” says Doug Bugie, CEO “Antal’s particular area of strength is to be a leader in the rapidly developing countries of the world.”
