Top 10 Employment & Personnel Franchises

A key to the success of any business is the personnel that is hired to run it. If you’re looking to open a franchise that helps people, consider investing in an employment and personnel, or staffing franchise. Not only will you enjoy the benefits of this recession-proof industry, but you will help businesses scale back during tough times or expand during times of growth. The staffing industry is vital to the economy because it provides career opportunities to 13.6 million employees, according to the American Staffing Association. While there is a lot of competition in the staffing industry and distinguishing yourself can be difficult, you are doing the meaningful work of helping people achieve their career goals. These relationships and connections with clients will expand your business while benefiting job seekers and employers.
