The Spherion Business Model
Spherion's general staffing model is available in many mid-sized cities and towns as well as some more rural areas. As a Spherion staffing franchise owner, you'll primarily support light industrial and administrative positions and, in some markets, professional staffing and recruiting as well. Spherion's territories are typically defined by counties, either a single county or multiple counties. Spherion general staffing office locations are most commonly located in a strip-type shopping center that is anchored by a landmark like a grocery store or bank. The general staffing model always starts with one office; however, you might have the opportunity to open multiple offices to provide even more coverage of your assigned territory.
