Recruitment franchises in Canada

Statistics show that the employment and recruiting industry in Canada is worth an impressive CA$6billion with over 5000 businesses competing for a slice of the market (Ibis World). With large companies looking to outsource their recruitment needs, this is an industry that has many exciting franchise options for those interested in the sector.

Many companies have found that managing the recruitment process is time-consuming and does not yield the results desired so have turned to recruitment specialists to bridge the gap between their company and future employees.

High unemployment rates can lead to businesses becoming inundated by applications. Low unemployment rates can make it harder for companies to find staff. The recruitment sector can benefit from both these circumstances, making themselves indispensable, as an efficient and cost-effective solution to staffing needs.

There are many established recruitment firms that have chosen to franchise their business, such as Nextaff and Express Employment Professionals. Franchisees will benefit from the wealth of experience and contacts an established company can offer.
