  • KPO

We have been working with Vinu and his team for a while now. Throughout that time we found them to be one of the most professional and efficient recruitment firms we have ever dealt with.   
Vinu has closed various key positions for us like Global Delivery Manager, Project Manager, Area Director (Europe) etc. Every assignment that we worked on, Vinu & his team ensured that we only received profiles of high caliber candidates who understood our business and our needs, this made our entire recruitment process easier and less time consuming for us.   
Vinu and his team of specialist consultants have set a very high benchmark for themselves in the executive search firm market and what sets Antal International apart from the rest is their hiring processes, industry knowledge, niche specialization, professionalism, ability to plan, manage & execute international search projects as well.   
We would happily recommend Antal International to anyone who is planning to build their team with the best talent available in the Indian as well as global market.

  • Nagesh Kulukuru

Ridiculously efficient is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Athira. She managed my recruitment process while I was exploring an opportunity with a company. I was particularly impressed by Athira’s ability to handle even the toughest situations and discussions effortlessly. That skill often takes years to develop among professionals, but it seemed to come perfectly naturally to her. Athira would be an asset to any team.

  • Head Enterprise Application

Hi Athira, I met Satish today and the rest of the key people as well. The team culture is welcoming and I'm sure my journey here will be awesome. I wanted to reach out once I was done with the initial onboarding formalities, once again thanks for doing all the hard work behind the scenes to make this possible.

The consultant has supported and guided me to the best level possible through the recruitment process. He is terrific as HR and more than that the care, effort, and time he gives to each and every employee/client shows how sincere he is in their career growth and development
