Types of Spherion Franchises

Spherion has more than 100 available markets. Our franchises fall into one of two categories: our Professional IT model which concentrates on technology-centric positions including software engineers, hardware technicians, help desk specialists and project managers, and our general staffing/commercial model which connects job seekers and employers in light industrial, administrative, non-clinical healthcare, educational support, customer service, sales and marketing. We offer single and multi-unit opportunities tailored for each owner’s goals and their local market potential.

Favorable Competition & Outlook

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 4% growth for the overall staffing industry in 2022. 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.

Comprehensive Support & Training

We offer external and internal sources of financing for qualified buyers. We support our franchisees through required, comprehensive role-based training for franchise owners and their branch representatives. Our program begins with pre-opening training as outlined in our FDD and continues through regular operations with periodic training sessions that address topics such as client development, legal requirements, marketing, coaching employees, and sales. This training includes hands-on experience with our technology systems, and can be provided in-person or virtually. We ensure our franchisees are fully prepared to approach their local employment market and succeed.

Backed by the drive and stability of the global leader in HR services, Spherion puts the power of local to work to help you thrive in the emerging workforce.
