Client Zone - Methodology

We will typically recommend the use of a mix of approaches as is appropriate. Our unique "Four-Way Methodology", encompassing search, selection, portfolio networking and the internet effectively scours the whole market for talent and forms our preferred method and thoroughly searches a market for active, semi-passive and passive talent ensuring you reach the best possible talent, not just the available talent.

Executive Search
A direct "headhunt" approach into a pre-selected and researched target market. Primarily useful where talent is likely to be working in direct competitors and be secure, well rewarded and performing - the ultimate passive candidate.

It enables you to adopt "hire to hurt" strategies to gain competitive advantage and market insight. Targeted search is highly effective.

We source candidates that match your skill set and your corporate culture. We use our database of information to help identify companies that might employ a suitable candidate. We then use our contacts to determine which candidates have established themselves as being "best in the field". We follow an advanced in-house interview process to ensure that you have the greatest chance to successfully hire the candidate that you want and finally we negotiate on your behalf with the candidate.
Good management is essential to the health and welfare of all companies; excellent management is the key to success in today's highly competitive business environment.

Employing this methodology is ultimately more expedient, efficient and effective. We provide strict confidentiality, an extensive network of contacts, objectivity in candidate evaluation, and negotiation experience and expertise.

Selection Advertising
• This is often used in conjunction with a search campaign to reach a wide market of talent / diverse demographic and disparate geographic.

• Invaluable when candidates are located remotely, a disparate population, or are field based.

• Advertised selection also allows us to help you achieve true diversity and equality in the selection process.

• It is an excellent marketing exercise for your product / service and can be used to generate benchmarks for internal talent applications.

• Advertising has a distinct advantage in significant talent funnel generation attracting both active and passive candidates alike.

• In addition to attracting talent, we network the response, taking average respondents and networking them for referrals to better-fit talent.

• Our large media discounts are passed onto you. Adverts can be dual branded or anonymous, utilising our brand for confidentiality.

• Advertising substantially accelerates the timescale of an assignment.

• Professionally written, placed, filtered and networked, Selection Advertising provides a base of candidates highly motivated for the role and employer brand.

Database / Portfolio Networking / Cross Border Searches
We manage a global Talent Pool of available Rising Stars. These individuals are highly motivated to move. We share information internally ensuring that each relevant consultant can assist on a search. Over 20% of our assignments filled via sharing information between offices or consultants, not something widely practiced to this level of success elsewhere in our industry.

By pooling our resources in each locality we can initiate seamless cross border searches across a region to secure the best talent for a role.

Online / www / .com
Web based job boards - in Europe there are in excess of 2500 job boards and career portals competing for candidate attention - that is in addition to your own career site!

We simplify this myriad of choice.
Not all executives leave their details online, however many use it as a shop window. We have found that in certain markets the use of the web has proved very effective, when used correctly. The key is knowing where to advertise for a particular role / sector or skill-set. As with print advertising we network responses for richer talent and handle the volumes it can produce saving you time, money and employer brand integrity.

We know which sites deliver. Antal International's experience of this tool on a worldwide basis has led to unrivalled partnerships and purchasing power with some of the leading career sites such as Monster's database in 10 countries plus Executivesontheweb, Jobserve, Totaljobs, Globalworkplace, JobPilot, Eurojobs, Stepstone, Careerworld, e-financialcareers and more local, specific sites. This is in addition to our own job board and makes us ideally positioned to advise our clients on best possible solutions and tap the best of the web.
