About Us

Located in Midrand’s dynamic business hub, our office is a strategic gateway for organizations hiring across Africa. With a footprint that spans Johannesburg, the continent, and global markets, we connect companies to specialist talent in Financial Services, Technology, Energy, and other fast‑growing sectors.

Our team combines decades of sector expertise with deep market knowledge to partner with Senior Leaders, and Hiring Managers facing growth pressures, complex hiring needs, and business‑critical roles. We deliver recruitment solutions that go beyond transactional CV delivery, ensuring every hire contributes to performance and long‑term success.

As part of the Antal International Network with over 120 offices in 38 countries and more than 30 years of executive search experience, we provide culturally aligned, in‑market consultants through a single accountable partner. With proven success in executive search, project hiring, and tailored recruitment solutions, Antal Midrand helps businesses secure the talent that drives profitability, growth, and sustainable advantage.

Our Expertise

Our Team in the Midrand office specialises in recruitment for highly regulated, high-impact industries, where the quality of leadership, governance, and specialist capability directly influences business performance, risk exposure, and long-term growth.

We partner with organisations operating in complex, fast-evolving environments that require more than transactional recruitment.

Our partners engage us when roles are business-critical, markets are talent-constrained, and hiring decisions carry real commercial and regulatory consequences.

Our Value Proposition

  • Trusted Long‑Term Partnerships

    Our clients value consistency, discretion, and accountability. We act as embedded partners, representing client brands professionally in the market and supporting them through growth, transformation, leadership change, and regulatory pressure. Many of our relationships evolve into long‑term, multi‑hire partnerships built on trust, delivery, and measurable outcomes.

  • Market Insight Beyond Talent

    In talent‑scarce African markets, access alone is not enough. We provide real‑time market intelligence, including salary benchmarking, talent availability, and competitor hiring insight across South Africa and international markets. This enables leadership teams to make informed, risk‑aware workforce decisions backed by data, not assumptions.

  • Strategic, Not Transactional

    We are not a CV‑volume provider. Clients partner with us when recruitment is a strategic decision, not an administrative task. Through RPO, retained search, and executive hiring, we align talent acquisition to commercial objectives, regulatory requirements, and long‑term capability planning. Our model flexes capacity up or down while maintaining governance and delivery standards.

  • Regulated‑Sector Specialists

    We specialise in recruitment for Africa’s most regulated industries where hiring decisions directly impact governance, compliance, and organisational stability. Our Midrand team focuses on banking, fintech, telecommunications, energy, and mining, recruiting into risk, fraud, technology, HR, and executive leadership roles where precision and compliance matter.
