About
Management Selection is a recruitment service which entails finding and selecting highly qualified mid-level employees — the specialists who take part in managing the company and who are responsible for work efficiency, key business indicators, and attaining various strategic goals.
The main feature of this position level is that there is no grade system (Junior, Middle, Senior, Lead) that would be universal for all professional areas. Each company has its own criteria, and so an employee who is a senior specialist at his or her place of work can only qualify for an entry-level position at another company. This might be due to sectoral specifics, key skills, or a radically different method of assessing the competences required for a given role.
Staff categories
We source employees and mid-level managers in all areas, with over 15 industries and dozens of sectoral specialisations in our portfolio. But the most commonly our services are requested by clients from the following areas:
- IT & telecom
- sales staff
- marketing & PR
- logistics and transport
- law
- HR
- finance and accounting
- production
Stages of recruitment
- At the first stage of recruitment we carefully consider your request to outline the candidate pool to be taken from the available database. This helps us understand whether we need to do an extra search or whether we already have a suitable person among our contacts.
- Having agreed the job conditions and requirements with you and having analysed the market, we start selecting the best candidates and doing primary interviews. You only interview the finalists and then make a final decision as to who to hire.
Benefits of partnering with a recruitment agency
Time saving
Based on the criteria you specify, we'll do a search and primary selection. You will concentrate on working with the most promising finalists. This way you'll save time, expand the geographical coverage of your search with our database, and hire the best people.
Proven level of candidates
When adding candidates to our database, we do our own verification of the level they specify. For this, we look at their experience, achievements at their previous places of work, and obtain references from their superiors.
Wide geographical coverage
Antal Talent accelerates recruitment by leveraging an extensive regional presence, cross-industry expertise, and an international talent network.

Neutral position
Antal Talent consultants act as trusted intermediaries throughout the offer negotiation process, maintaining confidential, one-to-one communication with both the employer and the candidate. By understanding each candidate's individual motivations, priorities, and career aspirations, we help both parties reach a mutually beneficial agreement. Our approach goes beyond salary negotiations, considering the entire compensation and benefits package—including bonuses, benefits, career development opportunities, flexibility, and other factors that influence long-term acceptance and employee retention.
Protection of the company's image
When you wish to lure away the best talents from your competitors, it's vital to retain good relationships with other industry players, so it's safer to employ a recruitment agency to act on your behalf.
Managing candidate communication through Antal Talent helps protect your employer brand throughout the recruitment process. When a candidate is not selected, our consultants provide professional, respectful feedback and handle all communication on your behalf, reducing the risk of negative candidate experiences affecting your company's reputation. Where appropriate, we can also introduce unsuccessful candidates to other suitable opportunities within our portfolio of active vacancies, helping maintain a positive candidate experience while supporting your employer brand.

Cost of management selection
The cost of management selection and mid-level employees recruitment is based on the salary that the company is ready to offer to candidates. It is also linked with the complexity and the specifics of the industry. Our managers will discuss your requirements for candidates and all the other details of your request with you and will give an exact figure after processing your request.
