Top 5 Personnel And Staffing Small Business Franchises

Written by: Candice Clem

Article Overview: An ever increasing trend in the business world today is the outsourcing of certain parts of the business that would have traditionally been performed in-house. This is probably most prevalent in the area of staffing/recruiting and human resources. For many businesses, it is simply not cost effective to have people on staff to interview and recruit temporary positions, or for small companies, it may be too costly to have an entire HR department on full-time staff. Here's a look at some of the best franchise opportunities in personnel and staffing that can put you in a position to help businesses get the job done right, with the right people in place.

Top 5 Personnel And Staffing Small Business Franchises

In August, the US unemployment rate continued to rise, growing from 5.7% to 6.1%. Though it may not seem like much in percentages, when you realize that .4% translates to 592,000 more Americans without work, suddenly that number seems quite a bit bigger. Somewhat ironically, this dip in employment means better business and more job possibilities in the personnel and staffing industry. As employers look for quality workers among a growing pool of candidates, and increasing numbers of job-seekers look for help in finding the job that’s right for them, the business opportunities for entrepreneurs to open new personnel franchises are steadily increasing. The following are 5 of the best personnel and staffing franchises.

1. Human Resources Rx

With the increasing need to find and keep only the best employees, many small and mid-sized businesses are at a loss, because with their small size, they simply do not have the resources to establish a formal, in-house human resources department. This is where Human Resources Rx fills the gap, providing their clients with outsourced HR services. Franchisees work from home and have the option of either working for clients directly, or opening a regional master franchise, working to build sub-franchises in the area instead. With the expert training and marketing assistance that the franchisor provides, franchisees are finding and serving client needs in no time.

2. DES Staffing

Specializing in providing personnel to the manufacturing and light industrial markets, this franchise business is a great opportunity because of all the franchisor provides. Unlike some franchises, this one is closely overseen by both an area and regional director, who provide nearby assistance and continuous involvement to make each franchisee as successful as possible. Best of all, the services provided to each franchise come free of charge, because the business is wholly owned by the franchisee, rather than the corporation.

3. Medical Staffing Consultants

Undoubtedly, one of the markets with the highest demand for new labor is the healthcare industry. Between a continual increase in patients, a steady decrease in fresh people entering the profession, and a fast-approaching wave of aged baby-boomers in need of medical attention, many healthcare establishments are in a frantic quest to staff their facilities, which means that staffing agencies in this field are also in high demand. Franchisees with Medical Staffing Consultants often come with no previous experience in the industry, however, they still do remarkably well after receiving complete training in marketing, recruitment, daily operations, and personnel compliance. And training goes even further than that, as franchisees are given the option of learning one of 4 different ways of helping clients: nursing in the local market, international nursing, allied health and administrative medical staffing, or permanent placement. Depending on the franchisee’s desires and location, this small business can adapt to suit nearly anyone.

4. Profiles International

Few companies can claim success in 118 countries and 18 languages, but Profiles International can. Serving 27 of the Fortune 100, this business is the world leader in employment evaluation and human resources management assessment tools, equipping more companies with the Profiles International product than any of their competitors. Though their cutting edge work in technology and human resource science is what has made their name great in the business world, it’s the brilliant initial training, ongoing support, marketing work, and consistent product development that make their franchisees love this home based business and its franchisor.

5. FranVentures

Finally, if you’re interested in helping people find work, but don’t know what field to do that in, have no fear, because you may not have to make that decision on your own. As a FranVentures franchisee you have the benefit of helping clients sort through long lists of franchise business opportunities in a variety of fields to find the one that fits them the best, so that they can achieve their own dreams of buying and operating a business for sale. Whether you work full or part time, all you need to bring to this franchisor is a desire to be your own boss, a commitment to the development of others, and strong communication skills: they provide the rest. This is one of only a handful of opportunities to profit from a trillion-dollar industry, making upwards of $15,000 per transaction.

As long as people need employment and employers need people, there will be a place in the world for staffing agencies. And though it may seem like a tricky business to dive into on your own, the benefit of following the lead of a franchisor is that you don’t have to do it completely on your own. All a willing entrepreneur must do is trust the franchisor and follow it’s steps to success, and when your staffing service succeeds, so will your clients.
