Market & Competition
The staffing industry is poised for impressive growth. Staffing Industry Analysts predicts the overall revenue potential will increase 2.4% to $216.9 billion in 2024.

Staffing remains resilient even during economic uncertainties because companies always need to hire talent, and job seekers are always looking for employment. Staff represents a business's most valuable yet costly asset. Clients leverage our services to realize significant operating efficiencies and cost savings by accessing top talent through a flexible model.

This consistent demand exists whether the economy is thriving or struggling. Currently, contract workers make up about 8% of the total workforce. However, there is tremendous growth potential as businesses increasingly adapt to evolving workforce needs while sustainably managing costs.

Ideal Candidate
The ideal Spherion franchise owner is an entrepreneurial-minded person who desires to be their own boss with the support and resources a national company can offer. While we prefer some level of business experience, our franchisees come from all walks of professional life: business, finance, education, law, retail, sales, and more. Sales experience is required.

We have military veterans, first-generation business owners, and multi-generational owners in our franchisee family. Spherion franchisees employ a strong work ethic and collaborative leadership strategies to create a legacy while providing employment opportunities that better the communities they live in.

Our national community of franchisees, recruiters, salespeople, and marketers specialize in providing innovative staffing solutions tailored for local communities. We invite you to join our experts in fueling business growth by connecting employers with the talent they need to succeed.
