Antal International, a UK based executive recruitment company, has expanded its international franchise with the opening of four offices. These new offices are located in Egypt, Pakistan, Ghana and the Philippines. Additionally over the last 12 months Antal International has seen 11 franchise offices open across the world including in Nigeria, Malta, Belgium and South Africa. The company currently has 45 offices in 27 countries.

Sarah Jones, Antal International's Operations Director, said: 'In a lot of these countries, the opening of our franchise represents the first time an international recruitment firm has established a genuine local presence. Egypt, for example, is a thriving market which to date has been serviced either by purely domestic players or by international recruiters based out of the UK or the Gulf. We've had a tremendous response from the HR community in the country which simply hasn't had direct access to this level of executive search offering before.'

Doug Bugie, Antal International's CEO, added: 'This rate of expansion demonstrates Antal's methodology and approach to finding and placing top talent, particularly in the 25-35 year old category of 'Rising Stars', is without equal in the industry. Antal's particular area of strength is to be a leader in the rapidly developing countries of the world.'
