Graham Coates, Antal Philippines President, comments on the exciting news.

We were extremely pleased to hear of Antal International's partnership with the Searchpath organization in early October. As such, we immediately made an announcement of this new development to our network of clients and candidates here in the Philippines.The partnership with Searchpath is of great significance to the Antal Philippines office. We know that most Filipinos prefer the United States as a career destination due primarily to the presence of now over four million Filipino immigrants in the U.S.The recent developments in the U.S. economy may also give way to the creation of new opportunities for local searches. We are anticipating that a number of Filipinos may begin to contemplate returning to the Philippines and the local market may now have a number of positions for them, especially in the emerging and developing KPO and BPO industries.We wish to be of assistance to your organization in finding positions for your network of Filipino-American candidates who are considering to move back here. We are eager to assist those in a position to take advantage of executive assignments locally. We would be eager to discuss the details and the processes that would take advantage of the Antal International and Searchpath partnership for these opportunities.
