Spherion Recognized on Entrepreneur Magazine’s 45th Annual Franchise 500® List

Spherion Staffing and Recruiting (Spherion) announced today that it has ranked for the 19th consecutive year on Entrepreneur Magazine’s Franchise 500® list. Ranked third in both “Staffing/Recruiting” and “Business Services,” Spherion was also listed at No. 63 overall.

“It’s truly an honor to be recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine on its annual Franchise 500® list,” said Kathy George, executive vice president of Spherion. “Earning this ranking for the 19th consecutive year not only solidifies our reputation as a trusted staffing and recruiting franchise, but also highlights our ongoing commitment to connecting even more job seekers with meaningful employment opportunities. This ranking is an incredible way to start the year.”

The key factors that go into Entrepreneur’s evaluation include costs and fees, size and growth, support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. Each franchise is given a cumulative score based on an analysis of more than 150 data points, and the 500 franchises with the highest cumulative scores become the Franchise 500® in ranking order.

“Every brand on the Franchise 500 has its own unique story, but they all collectively make the same statement: Franchising is strong and resilient, is full of innovation and opportunity, and provides a powerful entrepreneurial path for many people,” says Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur Magazine. “Our 45th annual ranking is full of companies with fresh ideas, exciting business models, cultural sway, and the kind of business sophistication that will define the next 45 years and beyond.”
