Recruitment of middle managers

To fulfill the position quickly

Hundreds of resumes with an unpredictable level of candidates end up in open databases. Useless appointments take plenty of time. The Antal database contains 550,000 handpicked candidates of middle and senior management level. We have interviewed 90,000 of these candidates in person over the last 10 years. The candidates in the database correspond to the required level. The best candidates rarely search for job on their own, and their contacts are not available in open sources. For a successful search you need to use your connections and references. Antal works with more than 15 industries and 10+ specialties. The consultants are constantly making connections in their specific sector. In most cases, they already know the candidates who might be right for your job. The specifics of the job do not always allow you to find quickly a candidate from your industry or region. Antal speeds up the search using regions and other industries. We cover vacancies in 60 cities in the CIS. We also connect our partners from Antal International, who have a network of 140+ offices around the world, to projects.

The employer realized that the remaining 39 resumes would not guarantee a result. So Antal was entrusted with the selection of candidates and the first stages of the interview.

The candidate’s salary expectations were significantly higher than our client could offer. Negotiations were deadlocked.

While communicating with the candidate, the Antal consultant identified another important motivator. On the consultants’ advice the employer had offered the candidate an extended scope of work: the position in this form implied frequent business trips to Europe. This was the decisive argument.
