About Antagon

Recruiting people into work abroad since 2000.

A recruitment and HR consultancy based in Linhó, Sintra, working with employers who need skilled trades, technical staff and hospitality crews.

Why Antagon

We sit between two things: what an employer actually needs, and what the people on our books can actually do. Our job is making those meet.

When a client sends us a role, we run the whole process — searching, screening, and putting forward only the candidates whose training and experience genuinely fit the brief.

Our reputation rests entirely on the people we put forward, so we don't send anyone we wouldn't stand behind. Ask us for a specific position and you'll get a short list, not a long one.

And we don't stop until the position is filled properly.

Our mission

What we hold ourselves to

Three values.

Objectivity

We do what we said we would do, and we say so plainly when something isn’t possible.

Quality

We meet the requirements of both sides — the client hiring, and the person taking the job.

Creativity

Custom services shaped around the role, rather than one template applied to everyone.
