What Might Make Spherion Staffing a Good Choice?

Millions of people find jobs through recruitment agencies each year. Still, you may want to research Spherion Staffing and your local area to see if a franchise would do well in your community. While competition is healthy, too much of it may not allow for the most possible growth.

To open a Spherion Staffing franchise, you will need to pay an initial investment that includes a franchise fee and other potential startup fees. The initial investment size depends on if you plan on opening a Spherion General Staffing franchise or a Spherion Professionals franchise. To be part of the Spherion team, you should make sure you’re financially ready for the investments and ongoing fees necessary. Franchisees may also need to meet the company's set net worth and liquid capital requirements.

How to Open a Spherion Staffing Franchise

The process of owning a Spherion Staffing franchise begins with the company evaluating your franchise readiness. They will assess your financial preparedness, willingness to be a hands-on franchisee, and your suitability as an active staffing agent

Potential franchisees will ask questions, go to a discovery day at Spherion Staffing's Atlanta, Georgia headquarters, and meet the team. If both parties agree to go into business together, Spherion Staffing may ask you to choose your market, sign your franchise agreement, and pay the initial fees. When all the paperwork is done, another team will help you out with pre-opening preparations.
