RI – February 2010 – www.recruitment-international.co.uk
With the recruitment industry in the UK beginning to climb out of a long and painful recession the next phase of the economic cycle will ensure that many recruitment consultancies will be seriously considering their strategy for the next 3-5 years. This will inevitably include organic expansion, new disciplines, more consultants, some will open more locations.
However, others will decide that the time is right to take a quantum leap and that is exactly what the Board of Antal is looking for.
Whilst many believe that there will be growth in the UK, the more astute recruiters have already recognised that the domestic recruitment market is highly saturated and margins continue to fall. So where do the really big opportunities exist?
“International” is the unequivocal belief of the Antal Board, and who can argue? The company has a proven track record of overseas excellence, its Russian business was sold to the FiveTen Group in March 2008 for a significant cash amount, making it the largest CEE recruitment transaction in recent years and it has been this experience that has positioned Antal to be able to offer an exciting acquisition and joint venture proposition for the industries budding entrepreneurs.
