Methodology

The editions of the ‘Antal Global Snapshot’ are based upon survey forms and telephone interviews completed by Line Managers and HR Managers from over 8,280 companies, professional partnerships and financial institutions across 50 countries which are actioned between the months of June and July for the first quarter and between the months of October and November of the second quarter of every year.

Each respondent will be asked whether they were currently hiring or letting go professional / managerial staff and whether they intended to do so over the coming quarter.  All respondents were guaranteed anonymity to encourage open and honest answers.
