Kalpataru Limited

This is to place on record our appreciation for Antal's contribution to help us hire very good talent for our organization.

From Antal we have primarily dealt with Varun and I must say that he is one fine ace recruiter. The other day I told him that Varun you are either too good or too lucky because in 3 consecutive assignments, he hit the nail on the head. We've actually made offers to all three of them and I'm told that 2 of them have accepted and the 3rd one we're working on.

He goes out of his way to get complete clarity on the position, helps in negotiating without being imposing and is always prompt and quick in responding. His recommendations of candidates have always been near to perfect. The diligence that goes into screening and shortlisting each candidate is commendable.

Your recent work in helping us hire talent for setting up our new Customer Relationship Management vertical, Town planning, and Senior members in Sales etc. has been worth all your efforts. We thank you for the critical contribution that Antal has made to Kalpataru.

His direct, no nonsense style is complimented by a great attention to detail and a genuine desire to do his best for his clients. This is a big move for me and thought the recruitment process and beyond Salvatore has been totally supportive."

“I worked with Myron from Antal's Amsterdam office to fill a vacancy for a Business Analyst role at Mediq.
I found Myron a recruitment consultant who showed genuine interest and understanding of our company's needs, thereby being able to identify candidates matching our requirements. During the selection process he kept in close liaison with both candidate and ourselves, monitoring progress and follow-through. During the final stages before coming to agreement with the candidate, Myron undertook significant efforts to support an agreement to be reached based on his understanding of both candidate and employer's positions and perspectives. He supported and guided the overall process very well.”
