Training
& Support:
New
Spherion franchisees receive more than 150 hours of
training/support for planning and opening your franchise. Our
corporate support includes in-person and web-based training for
sales, marketing, human resources, and back office expertise. No
owner opens their doors less than fully prepared to go to
market.
Spherion
also requires all new franchisees to attend our new owner boot camp
at our corporate offices in Atlanta, GA. This one-week training
curriculum reinforces Spherion's proven operating practices,
quality philosophy and culture while building your recruitment and
business development skills in a collaborative environment with
other new Spherion franchisees.
Once you
open your office, we join you for 80 hours 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 about
technology, recruitment, compliance, safety, workforce trends and
business development. We never stop assisting our owners and their
teams with their professional growth in pursuit of ever-greater
business success.

Info
Spherion
offers two distinct models depending on the market selected. They
are:
Professional
Market Model
Spherion
Professional offices concentrate their staffing and recruiting
activity on technology-centric positions including software
engineers, hardware technicians, help desk specialists and project
managers. We help local offices develop the expertise, knowledge,
and connections to effectively serve private industry and the
public sector with technology staffing that meets clients' needs
for skilled, reliable talent. Besides the positive growth outlook
for technology staffing, our Professional franchisees enjoy higher
pricing margins than our general staffing model. While there is
demand for professional roles in all markets, Spherion is focusing
on professional franchising in the 25 largest U.S. markets. We also
support IT staffing services for existing general
staffing/commercial franchise owners.
General
Staffing / Commercial Model
Spherion's general staffing model
is available in many mid-sized cities and towns as
well as some rural areas. Spherion commercial office franchisees
primarily support light industrial and administrative positions
and, in some markets, professional staffing and recruiting as well.
General staffing market geographies typically cover single or
multiple counties. Spherion general staffing office locations are
most commonly located in shopping centers anchored by a landmark
like a grocery store or bank. The general staffing model always
starts with one office. However, franchisees often have the
opportunity to open multiple offices to provide better coverage of
assigned or expanded territory.
Competition
Spherion and the
entire staffing industry is enjoying robust growth thanks to a
rebounding post-pandemic economy and shifts in the labor market due
to employees rethinking their professional priorities and making
the leap into new, more fulfilling lines of work. Staffing Industry
Analysts, the global advisor on staffing and workforce
solutions, predicts 6% growth
for the U.S. staffing industry in 2023. Spherion
is outpacing that projection and expects the demand for flexibility
and scalability by clients to fuel growth through the rest of the
decade. Our strong candidate-client relationships and exceptional
service backed by the resources of the global leader in human
resources allows Spherion to cater to the ever-changing demands of
America's workforce.
