Franchise General Manager Recruiters
Franchise General Manager Recruiting is a service that we identified a need for after working with Franchisor clients. Having worked in retail and on the franchisor side of the industry we are familiar with store management life. From staffing to training, from inventory to seasonal specials, and from customer service to meeting performance goals.
A General Manager is a unique combination of skill sets that at its core will determine if you have valued team members, raving fans as customers and EBITDA numbers that exceed the franchise brand standard.
Our goal as general manager recruiters is to acquire talent that delivers exponential value to you as a regional manager or franchise owner. We find candidates that can free up your time so you can work on the business, not in it.
Working with our Franchise Hire General Manager Recruiting program means you have a partner to identify, attract, evaluate, and land top talent in store-level and territory-level management.

When working with a Store Manager Recruiter and Recruiting agency your search includes but goes beyond just job boards. You gain the ability to reach a larger pool of candidates. Some who might not have been looking.
Store Manager career opportunities posted to job boards will receive interest from active candidates. These are people currently not employed or looking to make a transition.

A recruiter can source, reach out and present your brand as the next step in their career to align the candidate’s aspirations and the client’s perfect fit.
