From Novice to Expert – How Antal Training Prepares Franchisees for Success

Joining the Antal International network as a franchise owner is a transformative experience, especially for those new to the recruitment industry. While starting a business in any field can be daunting, Antal’s comprehensive training program ensures that franchisees, regardless of their prior recruitment experience, are fully equipped to succeed.

To provide a glimpse into this journey, we gathered insights from three of our newest franchise partners – Thomas Bozek, Sandra Shantanu, and Avinash Chander – who recently completed their initial training week. Their reflections highlight the clarity, confidence, and support they gained through this program, as well as how the training helped them connect the dots of running a recruitment business.

The Role of Training in Launching Your Recruitment Office

The initial training week at Antal’s headquarters is the cornerstone of every franchisee’s journey. The program is designed to guide individuals from all professional backgrounds through the process of launching and managing their own recruitment business. Here’s how the experience unfolded for Thomas, Sandra, and Avinash:

Clarity Through Step-by-Step Guidance

The training begins with an introduction to the recruitment industry and Antal’s unique approach to business. For newcomers, it’s a lot to take in initially, but as the program progresses, franchisees start to see how all the elements of the business come together.

"At first, it was a bit confusing – it’s a new business, and there’s a lot to learn. But as the days went by, I started to understand how this company operates and how, even with zero recruitment experience, I would be guided through the entire process." – Sandra Shantanu

"As the days unfolded, I started to get a good understanding of what Antal does and how everything connects. It was great to see the bigger picture come together." – Avinash Chander

Sandra further reflected on how she began to grasp the depth of the Antal brand:

"There is a lot going on behind the Antal brand, and now I’m getting a sense of all the elements that come together to make it so impactful." – Sandra Shantanu

Building Confidence Through Practical Activities

Antal’s training doesn’t stop at theoretical knowledge. Franchisees engage in hands-on activities such as role-playing, mind mapping, and live scenarios. These exercises are designed to give franchisees real-world practice and build their confidence in handling client and candidate interactions.

"The practical activities, like role-playing and mind mapping, were extremely effective. They made everything feel real and helped prepare for actual situations." – Ali Braid (training coach)

"Everything ran smoothly, and everything was clear. By the end, I could see the business cycle – the loop – and how everything connects." – Thomas Bozek

Reassurance of Ongoing Support

What truly sets Antal’s training apart is the emphasis on long-term support. From day one, franchisees are reassured that they will have access to ongoing guidance, resources, and a supportive community. This continuity helps franchisees feel confident about the journey ahead.

"What stood out to all of us was realizing that we would have ongoing support every single step of the way. That reassurance was invaluable." – Avinash Chander

From Zero to Ready: The Antal Advantage

Many potential franchisees worry about their lack of recruitment experience. At Antal, this is seen as an opportunity to develop fresh perspectives and skills. The training program transforms individuals from all professional backgrounds into confident business owners, ready to tackle the recruitment industry head-on.

"It’s normal for it to feel overwhelming at first -it’s a new business, after all. But as the days went by, everything started to make sense, and I could see how it all connects." – Sandra Shantanu
