recruiter franchiseHave you ever worked as a recruiter or in sales for a staffing or recruitment agency? Ever secretly told yourself that if you owned your own recruitment firm, that it would rival the world’s best? Maybe you aren’t aware, but there are several recruitment firms that arefranchise operations, which are easily accessible, giving you all of the power and flexibility to help make your recruitment firm successful.

The best part about any recruitment franchise is that the services, branding, business model and strategy are all provided to you.  This takes out a great deal of the time and effort that is generally poured into starting up a new recruiting firm.  You are provided with the policies and procedures, but have the ability to mold your employees and determine the business plan and outlook, just as you would with your own company.

Thinking about purchasing a recruiting franchise, but concerned about the upfront investment?  It might be more affordable than you think.  Depending on where you live and which franchise you are looking at, these figures may vary, but you are looking at a franchise fees of anywhere between $12,000 and $45,000.  The initial fees amount to usually something like $40,000 – $250,000 for most franchises and there might be administrative fees depending on where you buy.  Agreements can be negotiated but are a general rule of thumb, 5 years seems to be the the standard.

If you are considering purchasing a franchise based system, certainly do your research, as it’s a major decision. We support all companies in the space and would suggest that you carefully review all available franchise options before making your selection.
