Antal International has signed a long-term agreement with Nizar Lalani to develop the United Arab Emirates as an exclusive Partner.

This agreement will take the partnership into the next decade and this is on top of the nine years that Nizar Lalani has already been with Antal as a Managing Partner. Antal plans to open multiple offices in the UAE over the next few years and believes that a partnership with Mr. Lalani will help expand its footprint further in the recruitment industry of the Gulf Region.

Antal International is the fastest growing privately owned global recruitment organisation with a recent joint venture in India which makes it one of the leading recruitment businesses in Greater Asia. Antal is already well established in Africa, Eastern and Western Europe. The company has plans of opening 600 offices within the next 7 years.

Tony Goodwin, Founder and Executive Chairman, Antal International: “After working closely with Nizar for 9 years I am truly delighted and proud to develop, extend and fortify our business partnership in this way. Nizar is one of the most diligent, hard-working, collaborative people you could wish to have on your team. His resourcefulness, initiative and dedication to his clients, colleagues and candidates are commendable and this is what grows great service businesses. Antal are stronger as a global force in recruitment as a result of this further strengthening and development of our relationship.”

Doug Bugie, President, Antal International Network: “Nizar Lalani has always gone above and beyond to give back to the Antal Network. His office has achieved many globally shared deals over the years and has always been a welcome home for Antal colleagues from around the world. We are proud to have him representing Antal, not only in the UAE, but on a global basis. With this kind of ’embedded ‘ and strong leadership, we will steadily expand to multiple offices in this vital region and continue to move ahead as a group”.
