Looking to own a business with built-in momentum? HireQuest franchises earn rave reviews from customers and employees alike—thanks to proven franchise models, unmatched support, and a global network committed to your growth. When you join HireQuest, you’re not just opening a business—you’re stepping into a system built for success.
The key to our success is simple: We started exactly where you are today. Our founders, Rick Hermanns and Dan McAnnar, worked their way up through the staffing industry. They became franchise business owners in 1991—and that’s where the HireQuest story begins. Since Day 1, our leaders have worked hard every day to build a better business model for those following in their footsteps.
Under the vision of CEO Rick Hermanns and a proven executive team, HireQuest is leading the charge in transforming how the world staffs, scales, and grows. Each year, we help tens of thousands of people find meaningful work, empower businesses to expand with confidence, and give entrepreneurs the tools to build something of their own.

A Bright Future
Franchising lets new business owners leverage proven business models rather than starting from scratch. When you partner with an industry-leading franchisor like HireQuest Inc., you also gain unparalleled back-office support, a National Accounts team with an active roster of customers, and a nationwide network of fellow franchisees that are here to support you on your journey as a business owner, guiding you through the challenges and celebrating your successes.
Business Is Booming
Over the last decade, staffing industry sales have doubled. According to the ASA 2020 Staffing Industry Playbook, in 2009, sales were $81M. In 2019, they were $161M. With an agile business model and supportive franchisor to safeguard your investment, opening a staffing franchise location is simply smart business. Even during a global pandemic, staffing solutions were in demand. Looking forward, flexible recruiting is becoming increasingly popular worldwide as companies look for ways to adjust their workforce according to their needs.
With two business models aimed at booming sectors of the market, HireQuest Inc. is positioned for continued growth. And, thanks to our franchise-focused corporate support team, proven training programs, and tested business systems, you don’t need experience in the staffing industry to get started. In fact, with our MIT-to-franchisee training program, you can get hands-on experience working side-by-side with some of our most successful franchise business owners before you open your doors.
HireQuest Inc. is proud to count veterans, women, first-time business owners, and families among our franchisees. Our business is built for you to make it your own, no matter your background or your goals.
