What AVANTI People Partnership International does

AVANTI People Partnership International, Inc. is a privately held executive search and professional recruitment firm headquartered in Makati City, Philippines, established over 20 years ago (approximately 2005) to focus on cross-cultural executive search in the ASIA-Australia region. The company serves large multinational corporations across industries including BPO/KPO/Shared Services, banking, telecommunications, technology, insurance, energy, retail, real estate, pharmaceuticals, and education, with named enterprise clients such as Microsoft, Citibank, Singtel, AIG, Chevron, GSK, JLL, Huawei, and Convergys. It operates as a member-owner of NPAworldwide, a cooperative network of 500+ independent recruitment firms across six continents, providing access to candidates and clients in over 70 countries; AVANTI positions itself as the foremost recruitment and search firm in the Philippines with this extent of global reach.

The service portfolio comprises four lines: permanent and project-based Recruitment Solutions for professional staff; Executive Search targeting middle-to-senior management roles (COO, CEO, CFO, IT Heads, Head of Operations); Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) delivered through a partnership with Alexander Mann Solutions (AMS) BPO, Inc.; and Career Coaching & Outplacement Services provided via membership in the Career STAR Group (79 countries, 1000+ locations). Service delivery relies on direct consultant engagement with enterprise clients, supplemented by cross-border candidate and client referrals through NPAworldwide. The technology stack consists of standard recruitment technology tools and social media platforms for sourcing and engagement; no proprietary technology, software product, AI/ML capability, patents, or app is evidenced. The firm is led by President Nerissa Reyes, who holds multiple certifications on her consulting team and was recognized as the first ASIAN-Australian Board Chairman of NPAworldwide in the network's 60+ year history.

Revenue is generated through professional services and managed services fees, with pricing quote-based on role level, search complexity, and engagement scope rather than disclosed publicly. The company is privately held, founder/management-controlled, with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or external investment, and operates with a small team of 7 named individuals across consultant, account management, and administration functions. No revenue, ARR, contract values, or client retention metrics are publicly disclosed.

• Robert Half International: Global staffing and consulting firm specializing in finance, accounting, technology, and administrative placements. Overlaps with AVANTI's executive search and professional staffing services, particularly for CFO and senior finance roles that AVANTI also targets.
• Hays Philippines: Global recruitment firm with established Philippines presence, offering permanent placement, executive search, and contract staffing across multiple industries. Comparable in target market and senior-level search, but Hays operates at much larger scale globally.
