Antal International re-signs as HR Indaba 2019 partner

The early-bird discount was too good a deal to miss out on for the global executive recruitment firm.

Antal International has re-signed for the HR Indaba Africa 2019, taking advantage of the early-bird discount, which exempts the company from the increased rate for next year’s event. Antal is a global organisation with over 130 offices in more than 26 countries. Its market focus is executive recruitment, essentially making it a recruitment agency for middle-to-senior level management and c-suite talent, both at the executive and non-executive level.

“Beyond executive recruitment, we also specialise in niche areas such as cybersecurity. Our knowledge of Sub-Saharan Africa is also a key differentiator. There are many organisations moving into Africa, which don't have the expertise to find the right people to lead and manage those operations,” says Vicki Bedeman, the head of Antal's South African franchise.

Vicki was impressed by the turnout and overall execution of the inaugural HR Indaba earlier this month, which was the perfect opportunity to create brand awareness for Antal. Because, even though the company had been in the country since 2009, there hadn't really been a focus on brand development until HR Indaba, which allowed them to get their name out there while exposing the company to different sectors.
