Recruitment Exchange

What Recruitment Exchange does

Recruitment Exchange (ReX) is a two-sided AI-powered recruitment marketplace operated by Antal Sp. z o.o., a Polish private limited company headquartered in Warsaw. Founded in 2018, ReX connects mid-market and enterprise employers in Poland with a curated network of 200+ independent headhunters across 9+ industry specializations including IT, Finance & Accounting, SSC/BPO, Contact Centers, and Manufacturing. The platform serves three user segments: employers posting recruitment projects, independent headhunters executing those projects, and candidates whose applications are processed through the system. Named enterprise customers include Ericsson, Shell, Capgemini, Bloomreach, Storck, and Lotos.

The platform's underlying technology combines AI-powered matching for headhunter-to-project assignment, generative AI for Blind CV Generation (automatic candidate anonymization), and a recommendation engine that assists headhunters in generating candidate profiles. An Employer Dashboard provides real-time pipeline visibility, tracking CV reviews, candidate stages, and interview scheduling. The architecture is a web-based marketplace with self-serve employer registration at rex.hr and a separate authenticated dashboard at app.rex.hr.

ReX operates on a pure pay-on-success revenue model with no upfront fees. Employers register and post vacancies for free, then pay a commission only when a headhunter-recommended candidate is hired. Commission rates are negotiated individually between each employer and their selected headhunter before project commencement. Distribution combines a free self-serve product-led growth motion with a sales-assisted consultation pathway for enterprise accounts. The business is self-funded through parent Antal, with no external venture or private equity funding disclosed.
