What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, values collaboration, and challenges me.

With over a decade of diverse experience in recruitment and management, I have successfully established my own recruitment consultancy, Anton Consulting S.R.L., focusing on technical roles across various sectors in Romania. My journey began in the recruitment field, where I honed my skills in sourcing, screening, and interviewing candidates, ultimately leading to a deep understanding of the industry.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to adapt to changing market conditions, as seen during my tenure as Director at Austroglass S.R.L., where I navigated the challenges posed by the pandemic. My entrepreneurial spirit has driven me to build and manage successful businesses, including a Romanian food store chain and a courier service in the UK, showcasing my versatility and commitment to excellence.

I am passionate about connecting talent with opportunity and thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my skills in recruitment, sales, and client relationship management. I am dedicated to continuous learning and professional growth, currently pursuing further qualifications in financial services.
