Hiring Marketing Execs

Hiring a marketing exec with global responsibility versus one that has a regional or country role requires different skill and mindsets.

Peter Wharton shares his viewpoint from experience both as a marketing exec for tech companies and as a specialised recruiter for pioneering software vendors.

Recruitment ROI

Recruiting talent is often perceived as a cost to minimise but should be considered an essential investment in increasing the value of the company a key element of strategic business planning.

Does combining Sales Operations and Marketing Operations into one role make sense?

Peter Wharton is seeing more companies recruit executives to run both sales operations and marketing operations rather than maintain them as separate departments and explains why. Peter is managing partner at Antal International Geneva and recruits c-level, sales, marketing and operations management talent for pioneering tech companies.

The importance of company culture and values to attracting and retaining top talent

Multinational corporations have for many years spent a lot of time, resources and budget in developing and communicating their culture and values, but small and medium sized companies have often been slow or reticent to allocate their more limited resources to doing the same. In my opinion no matter what size the company, building a strong, identifiable company culture and values is critical not only to driving growth and profitability but also in attracting and retaining top talent to drive the organisation to new successes and here's why.

How to select the most effective recruitment agency for your business

Competition for best-in-class talent between companies has never been fiercer in my memory, and as a consequence many organisations are turning to recruitment agencies for help in searching and engaging with candidates for critical and urgent positions.

But finding the right recruitment partner is not obvious so I’ve shared recommendations on how a company should prepare for agency selection, what criteria will be important and what information you should ask of them before deciding on the agency. Remember, your external recruitment partner will be representing your company and brand, so you must ensure they are the right choice.

Which kind of product manager will be most appropriate for your business?

Demand for product management talent has never been stronger in tech, and particularly for B2B SaaS, AI, machine learning and fintech companies. However, defining which type of product management best meets the company’s requirements to profitably grow the business is key to ensure maximum effectiveness especially as many companies have switched to product-led growth strategies over the past couple of years. These are the four categories of product managers that I see most in demand currently.

What talent is required for a Product led company vs sales led company?

Product-led growth and sales-led growth are two major approaches to growing a software business. But what is the impact on your company’s organisation if you have a product-led growth strategy or a sales-led growth strategy? Setting up your organisation with the right talent resources is critical to success as I outline in this video.

How do you build a high performing exec team for a tech scale-up company?

As small and mid-sized tech companies start scaling up their business the need to assemble a top-class executive team is crucial to its success. A company’s quality of leadership just simply cannot be overstated and is more important than ever.

From my experience, these are the typical key sequential steps in building the team at the start of the scale-up journey.

How to recruit best-in-class executives for your team

Recruiting executives can feel a daunting task. After all, these leaders will effectively make or break your company, and competition for top executive talent is fierce, but a well-defined recruitment strategy and well executed will result in the onboarding of excellent additions to the leadership team.

Building an international organisation

International growth is a critical objective for so many innovative tech companies as they look to establish their market presence worldwide. But how do you effectively and quickly build a best-in-class organisation in different countries and continents to meet your business goals? In my first vlog of 2025 I expand on four key reasons why we at Antal International in Geneva can help you unlock the potential of global talent and take your organisation to new heights.

Recruiting a Chief Product Officer

The role of a Chief Product Officer (CPO) is a senior executive responsible for aligning the company’s product strategy with its business goals and then executing the strategy seamlessly.

But what exactly makes a CPO exceptional? Based on my experience working with business leaders I’ve pinpointed five key traits that define a successful CPO in my latest vlog.

Preparing for interview case study presentations

Why are companies increasingly using case study presentations in their evaluation process? It's not just about testing your hard skills or industry knowledge, companies want to see how you perform under pressure, how well you prepare, and how effectively you can structure and execute a presentation. 

It's an essential skill for anyone preparing to present a case study or business case as part of the recruitment process whether the opportunity is for a top executive, sales, product management, marketing or any other role.
Mastering this skill will set you apart from the competition.

Recruiting executives for scaleup companies

Recruiting executives can feel a daunting task. After all, these leaders will effectively make or break your company, and competition for top executive talent is fierce, but a well-defined recruitment strategy and well executed will result in the onboarding of excellent additions to the leadership team.

What product manager is right for your company?

Demand for product management talent has never been stronger in tech, particularly for B2B SaaS, AI, machine learning and fintech companies. However, defining which type of product management best meets the company’s

requirements to profitably grow the business is key to ensure maximum effectiveness especially as many companies have switched to product-led growth strategies over the past couple of years. These are the four categories of product managers that I most often recruit for my clients around the world.

What Hiring Managers Need to Consider When Recruiting a Vice President of Partnerships

The role of a Vice President or Director of Partnerships is pivotal for tech vendors aiming to expand their market reach, enhance product offerings, and drive revenue growth through strategic alliances. For hiring managers, selecting the right candidate involves evaluating not only technical expertise but also strategic vision, relationship management skills, and industry-specific experience. Here I speak about 5 key considerations a hiring manager needs to assess.
