Sophia Benzina, Antal Group Marketing manager, said the award meant a lot to the business: “This shows the strength of our in-house marketing team and what can be achieved with creative thinking and good use of the latest technologies.

“Social Media marketing plays a big role in our recruiting and brand development strategies.”

Antal Group CEO & Chairman, Tony Goodwin, said: “This is a special award because it is the first time Global Recruiter has offered this category. This means we could not have worked towards trying to win it since it never existed before.

“What this clearly demonstrates is Antal’s ability to take up the challenges offered by social and new media and communicate with our target audience on an informed, interesting and relevant way.

“We still acknowledge that traditional personal contact is vital in the performance of our role as professional recruiters whilst simultaneously embracing technological innovation.”

Sophia Benzina added: “We want to thank everyone within our international network, especially our colleagues and partners who have been loyal to the brand. 

“Most importantly, we say a big thank you to all our 100K-plus followers as we wouldn’t have achieved this without your support.”
