Doug Bugie to increase his consultancy activity with Antal International and iworklife

.

Antal International the executive recruitment firm with 52 offices in 24 countries primarily concentrating on mid to senior level recruitment and recruitment process outsourcing and Intelligent WorkLife Ltd, a new offering with a goal of helping men and women achieve a proper work life balance and own and build a recruitment business, have announced an increased consultancy agreement with respected recruitment guru Doug Bugie.

Iworklifeís franchise offering, primarily men and women who have cut their careers short to raise and support a family or have other outside commitments making normal career options difficult, has had a successful start in the UK and Antal is arguably the fastest growing and most internationally widespread company in individual mid to senior level placement in the world and is emerging as a player in the RPO field as well. Bugie spearheaded the building of Humana International, a franchise essentially in the same businesses and subsequently sold this business to the parent of MRI, the CDI Corporation, a New York Stock Exchange listed business specialising in technical staffing which in fact is the worldís largest technical staffing firm. Subsequently, Bugie served as an main board member at BNB Recruitment Solutions plc and as CEO of one if itís subsidiaries, Norman Broadbent. Bugie serves as consultant to a variety of executive and mid management search and recruitment organisations in America, Europe and Asia.

Commenting on the agreement, Bugie said Antal is one the strongest and best positioned organisations globally to fill a huge gap which stills exists in the mid to senior recruitment range of income all over the world, particularly in Asia, Western and Eastern Europe. Antalís success and strength in tenure of management and consultants is truly second to none in what is still high churn industry. Itís performance is nothing short of amazing . In Moscow alone Antal is leagues ahead of any other oganisation I know, bar none. Theyíve paid their dues and come out on top, this takes skill and grit. It takes reinvestment too. They are leagues ahead of their next closest competitor and what with 85 consultants and many millions in revenue in Russia alone, and 450 staff in total globally, they are truly positioned to double and even triple their business. Antal has a very well rounded balance, a great balance of their geographic and sector portfolio.

They are applying the same successful formula around the world in attracting and developing franchises to achieve exemplary growth. Antal has the ability and sheer will to be number one. I only hope I can add a few tuppence to the mix in a positive way.

Bugie continued At this point in my life, I want to be involved in quality, fast growth, but in a solid infrastructural businesses where the sky is the limit in their respective sectors and the completion is scarce in a true quality sense. Antal is a real leader in markets where few have gone and made a substantial difference.

There is a huge opportunity for people entering their second careers that is simply unparalleled...Antal provides this opportunity.

Tony Goodwin, the founder and CEO and Graeme Read, COO and their excellent management teams have created a great a platform and Iím pleased to be a part of it.
