What drives a person to shift from handling mortuary affairs in the Army to becoming a passionate recruiter? In this episode, we sit down with Antonio Gamble, our recruiting manager at CountryIntel, to uncover this compelling journey. Antonio recounts his early days in the military, where he started at the age of 19 and quickly rose to become a non-commissioned officer. He shares the pivotal moment when he was "voluntold" to transition into recruiting, his rigorous training at Fort Knox, and his educational pursuits in Florida. His passion for the recruitment field didn't wane—leading him to reclassify as a career recruiter and eventually join us at CountryIntel.
