Owner Qualifications:

A day in the life of an Express Franchisee: Express Employment owners work closely with business owners in their community to identify hiring opportunities. By leveraging the extensive training and support provided by Express, our franchise owners and their team support their clients by recruiting talented applicants to fill the open positions.

The Express office is typically open from 8- 5 to mirror the common hours of our clients. Each morning an owner will meet with their staff and strategize their daily sales plan based on their current applicant pool and open job orders with clients.

As the owner and face of the business, the franchisee will spend the remainder of the day connecting with business clients in their community to determine hiring opportunities. By connecting with decision makers at local businesses, the owner controls the growth trajectory of their own business without having to worry about the back-office support which is handled by Express Headquarters. At the end of the day, the owner regroups the team for a quick afternoon recap and ensures they are prepared for the following day.

The ideal candidates have commonly led and managed teams and possess a driven spirit and unmatched motivation. They are natural relationship builders and strong communicators. Viewing business ownership as the next step in their career, we are looking for individuals looking to control their own destiny through business ownership.

Industry experience is NOT necessary. Over 95% of our existing owners come to Express having zero staffing experience. While our owners have diverse backgrounds, they all share a common focus of taking care of their customers, following the Express System all while maintaining a positive attitude with the perfect amount of grit. Typically candidates will need to be prepared to invest a minimum of $150,000 for the startup of the business and be able to cover personal living expenses for one year.
