Our Market positioning
When considering joining our network, there are a few key questions you may have. One of these questions could be about the market positioning of Antal International. How will a new office fit into the existing network of 100+ offices?
We simply, work together to find synergy with the skills which a new owner brings to Antal and our existing offices. Offices channel their attention into niche areas and this enables multiple offices to operate in the same psychical location. The matrix system illustrates how our focus is not only sector specific but can be across multiple areas of industry.
We can truly add value over & above traditional transactional recruitment, adding significant value to the process by sharing our information, knowledge & experience. Global recruitment knowledge coupled with know-how gained from “in-the-field” career history enables us to offer recruitment expertise and additionally a global network of shared intelligence and resources.
In addition to this, our positioning on the market is to offer recruitment services into the “Mid to senior level” roles so avoiding the low fee highly competition space, often a focus for generalist recruitment companies.
Shaileja Sharma our Global Business Development Director adds, “The outlook for 2018 and the growth plan for the Antal Network is strong as we are open minded and look to work with professionals from a wide range of commercial backgrounds. Together, we continually identify new areas for specialisation and focus. Contact us today and we can find out more about how you can fit into the Antal Network and so strengthen our service offering to our clients. “

The latest induction finished on 3rd June 2016 and was held in the Antal headquarters in London. It was also a great opportunity for some existing owners, Nausherwan Akram and Imo Etuk, to join the training held by Stephen Sweeney as a refresher and to meet their new colleagues. Paulo Nogueira, new franchisee in Portugal was sadly unable to join the class in London but he was part on an online training held by Stephen.

Antal puts up a great start to 2016
Antal International had a great start to the year 2016 with more than 10 new offices that have opened in the first quarter of the year: two in France, one in the UK, one in the Netherlands, one in Dubai, one in Singapore and more than 5 in India. The latest induction finished just before Easter 2016 and was held in the Antal headquarters in London. The new owners of this class, introduced to you below, will launch businesses around the globe in different sectors such as IT, Engineering, Electronics, Banking, Government Bodies, Telecommunications, Business Services, Specialty chemicals, Instrumentation, and Environment.
Tony Goodwin, Antal Group CEO & Chairman says: “Since Antal launched in 1993, our strategy has been to venture into new and difficult markets, and apply our unique array of systems, training and technology, plus dedication, hard work and spirit to break into market after market and in many cases become the number one recruitment leader”.
Despite the difficulties in certain markets and the recent attacks that have put the world in a state of fear, it seems that individuals don’t give up on their dreams of being independent and building up their own business, a great statement that remaining positive and focussed on your goal, you can make your dreams come true.
It ain’t what you do, it’s the way that you do it – that’s what gets results
“When, in 1939, jazz trumpeter Sy Oliver sang, “It ain’t what you do, it’s the way that you do it – that’s what gets results”, he was probably not voicing any truly original thought, however the sentiment remained valid throughout the decades and in the world of branding in the 21st century it is taking on increased importance….”
John Rolinson
Antal International is a global Recruitment Franchise that enables business professionals to set up their own recruitment company anywhere in the world. Antal provides all its franchisees and their staff with initial and ongoing training, the processes and methodologies that have made us the organisation we are today – we also integrate the ethos, culture and spirit that we have engendered over the years; as this is what our brand is all about – and it is this that keeps our recruitment proposition unique.
The processes and methodologies themselves are probably copied in other recruitment consultancies around the world, for no other reason than the fact that they work – there are only so many ways of “getting a bum on a seat”. It aint’ what you do it’s the way that you do it. What is tough, yet critical to the Antal brand and is core to our external image, is instilling in all Antal individuals, from London to Panama, that sharing their own information, their own knowledge and their own experience is the philosophy that gives Antal the competitive edge.
It is not our web presence, brochures, stationery or the coloured Antal logo that secures our brand on Global Preferred Suppliers Lists, it is our ability to share candidates and clients cross-market, cross-border and cross-sector as well as our ability to tap into the amassed knowledge that our franchisees have brought to the company.
A recruiter is invariably pictured as being an aggressive salesman; such individuals’ days are numbered; both sides of the end-user equation are now expecting their recruiter to be knowledgeable of their own specific markets and to be empathetic to their demands. It aint’ what you do it’s the way that you do it. Such an approach can only be given by those specifically experienced. (Remember our franchisees recruit back into the environments they understand). Recruiting a Finance Director is better done by an ex-Finance Director, as opposed to a 23 year old sales graduate who might struggle to understand the difficulties.

Earn significantly more than you do now. Invest in Antal Franchising
Imagine one day you wake up with close to 200,000 euros or pounds in your bank account… Would it feel good? We believe it would.
Last week, two Antal franchisees woke up with this becoming reality. Was it a hard work? Yes. Would they do it again? Absolutely!
So let us share their success story with you. One of them, Salvatore Fernandez, has built his career in the Hospitality industry, performing in professional and executive roles, just like you. One day he decided to go solo and launch his own business. He didn’t want to do anything new and, frankly, he was really enjoying the hotel & leisure sector. Salvatore found a perfect compromise in Antal franchising. Imagine: you earn money by helping businesses of your choice find the rare and highly sought-after talent they need to drive their growth and profit. Salvatore joined Antal few years ago and now happily works with the best and well known hospitality groups around the world.
The other franchisee, Ahmed Saleh, based in Egypt, had a similar start. Ahmed was working for the leading multinational pharmaceutical firm when he realised that he wanted to become his own boss. Over the last five years Ahmed has built a solid executive recruitment business with a strong team of 10 bright recruiters working with him including his wife, Nagham Saleh.
Antal International opens 5 offices in December, a total of 27 this year
We are closing the year on a high and are proud to announce the opening of 5 more offices in France, the UK, North Africa and Germany in December 2015. This takes the number of new offices opened around the world to 27 since the beginning of the year including 9 new offices in India.
This year 2015 has not only seen the Antal Network grow, we have also increased our global footprint, opening offices in new countries like Greece and the first in Central America, Panama.
This is a significant number, a clear signal of how strong the market is supported by the globally compiled and released Antal Global Snapshot, the product of 10,000 interviews with decision makers globally.
Doug Bugie, President of the Antal Network, adds: “The market has never been more optimistic and Antal is ideally positioned as a recruitment platform capable of global reach, successfully operating in many markets as the clear leader. Moreover Antal has been awarded Top 25 most socially engaged companies in the recruitment industry on LinkedIn.
Our plan for 2016 is to open 45 more offices and we will achieve this.”
Antal partners with USA-based Worldbridge Partners
Global recruiter Antal International has announced a strategic partnership agreement with USA-based executive search firm Worldbridge Partners.
The joint group will now encompass more than 137 offices and over 800 consultants and give access to clients and candidates in 35 countries including USA, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic and Panama.
“We’re already well-established in Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia and Africa and recently moved into the Latin American market with a new office in Mexico,” said Antal International’s Founder & Chairman, Tony Goodwin.“Partnering with Worldbridge Partners gives us that next key piece in the global jigsaw – the USA and Central America. And it’s a vital piece given the fact that the US still accounts for over 25% of all world trade export and there are consequently literally thousands of US companies looking for the talent necessary to fuel overseas expansion.”
Doug Bugie, President of Antal International Network: “Antal has built and continues to build a global platform which has always emphasised the rapidly developing markets such as Russia, Poland, India and China to name a few. The company has a combined 80 years of trading experience just in these countries alone. Not many, if any of our competition can make that statement. Just in these 4 key countries Antal has over 400 consultants. Every day our consultants around the world sell our range services and promote the Antal brand. Now having Worldbridge as a partner, we have filled the gap in the world’s most vibrant and growing market – America. Worldbridge Partners is one of the leading search and recruitment organizations in Northern America, with capabilities to extend in Central and South America as well. In addition, Worldbridge is cutting edge the large scale solutions arena as adding to its pinpoint executive search service. We believe the combination will be very dynamic and surely interesting to our hundreds of multinational clients”.
“As an industry leader in recruitment, Antal International is committed to innovation and integrity in its operations around the world,” said WorldBridge’s Managing Partner Jack Downing. “WorldBridge has the same commitment, as well as the right combination of people, tools, processes and recruitment expertise to back it up. It’s a commitment that drives lasting value, and one that our clients have come to expect.”
