You’ll push past your current career limits with a dynamic brand and peer-supported company delivering recruitment, staffing, and workforce support services to more than 160,000 employees and 3,000 clients daily. From 8 to 5 Monday through Friday, we offer employers a pipeline of skilled talent and satisfying career opportunities while helping franchisees achieve ever-higher levels of income and professional goals.
Our general staffing business model focuses on filling temp, temp-to-hire, and permanent positions within 10 core industries: manufacturing and logistics, administrative, non-clinical healthcare, educational support, customer service and call centers, sales and marketing, and hospitality.
Every business in every industry shares a single requirement: They need people to function. As a Spherion franchise owner, you fill that fundamental business need. While other sectors struggle with changing consumer trends or inventory management, staffing is built on a resource that is always in demand.
Spherion’s staffing model is designed to perform regardless of the economic climate. In growth periods, companies need more hands to scale; during downturns, they rely on flexible staffing to stay lean. By operating in the middle of that exchange, a franchise owner becomes a vital part of the local business community.
Support & Training
Our support is our signature. No owner opens their doors less than fully prepared to go to market. New Spherion franchisees receive more than 380 hours of training/support for planning and opening your franchise during your first 90 days as a franchisee. Our corporate support includes in-person and web-based training for:
- Staffing Industry
- Profit Center Management
- Sales Marketing
- Human Resources
- Back office technology
Once you open your office, we join you in the first month of operation to continue building your confidence as a new staffing business owner through sales and operations skill development. This additional in-person assistance helps you jump-start revenue growth while making room for you to focus on clients and candidates from the start. We offer concurrent training to your new and seasoned staff members to support their professional development and ensure a fast start to productivity and revenue generation.
Spherion’s training curriculum continues with monthly online events regarding: Technology Recruitment Compliance Safety Workforce trends and business development
*This data is based on 64 franchisees that were open and operating their businesses for at least one full year as of 12/31/24. Of these 64 franchisees, 20 of them (31.3%) surpassed the average annual sales stated above, and 22 of them (34.4%) surpassed the average annual gross profit stated above. Some outlets have earned these amounts. Your individual results may differ. There is no assurance that you’ll earn as much. Please review Item 19 of our April 18, 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) for more information.
The most rewarding part is feeling real ownership for building something substantial. We really can make a difference for our clients, candidates, and employees. It is incredibly fulfilling to see the collective efforts of our team yield tangible results. There's a profound sense of ownership and satisfaction that comes from being involved in every aspect of the business.John Larsen - Utah
I’m a local business owner who knows my neighbors by name, but when I sit at a boardroom table, I bring the financial strength and brand equity of a national powerhouse.Beth Delaney - Ohio
During my time in corporate HR, I realized that staffing, in general, was a huge choke point for organizations. The frustrations of “subpar” staffing were always the topic of discussion. When the opportunity came to purchase an existing Spherion franchise, I knew it was a chance to partner with a great company but also change the conversation about staffing and make a difference.Brandon Cook - Texas
