What Antal Poland does

Antal Poland (Antal Sp. z o.o.) is a privately held recruitment, HR outsourcing, and consulting firm headquartered in Warsaw, Poland. Founded in 1996, the company has operated in the Polish and Central and Eastern European (CEE) labor markets for approximately 30 years, with regional offices in Kraków, Wrocław, Gdańsk, and Poznań and expansion into the Czech, Slovak, and Hungarian markets. Antal operates through 10 industry-specialized divisions covering IT, finance and banking, engineering and operations, SSC/BPO, sales and marketing, legal, marine and yachting, startups, and energy and renewables, supported by more than 150 recruitment consultants and a database exceeding 500,000 candidates built from real recruitment processes.

The service portfolio spans three primary lines. Permanent recruitment operates on a success-fee model with a six-month replacement guarantee; executive search is led by Partners and Vice Presidents focused on C-level placements. The outsourcing line includes contracting (more than 500 deployed contractors with 72-hour availability), team leasing, managed services billed against SLA/KPI achievement (covering AP/AR/GL, HR operations, IT service desk, and customer service, with reported 99.2-99.5% SLA performance), and Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) with more than 50 clients and 5,000+ processes conducted. Consulting includes market research and salary benchmarking, employer branding, HR due diligence for M&A, and the Antal 4 Startups program. Proprietary technology includes the ReX Recruitment Exchange (an HR-tech platform connecting employers with 150+ independent headhunters across 5 continents), Nalu Experts (expert-as-a-service), AI-assisted candidate sourcing, and a public salary calculator.

Antal serves more than 1,000 clients across enterprise and mid-market segments, with named logos including Ericsson, Mercor, Commvault, APSYS, Prudential, Axa Direct, Sollers Consulting, and Altkom Software & Consulting. Revenue is generated through transaction fees (permanent placements, executive search), managed services contracts (contracting, team leasing, RPO, SLA-bound managed services), subscription-style engagements (Rent a Recruiter), and professional services fees (market research, employer branding, HR due diligence). The company sells exclusively through direct enterprise field sales organized by industry division, with no self-serve or channel-partner model. Artur Skiba has served as President of the Management Board since 2013, and Artur Migoń serves as Vice President and co-owner (since 2019), having created the Executive Search and Engineering & Operations divisions.
