National Staffing Franchise Continues Expansion and Growth Despite Industry Challenges
KNOXVILLE, TN / ACCESSWIRE / October 3, 2024 / AtWork®, a leader in the staffing industry, is thrilled to announce its inclusion in Franchise Time's 2024 Top 400 ranking. The staffing franchise claimed the No. 180 spot after reporting $350 million in sales in 2023. The franchise is also reporting revenue growth of 3.1% for Q3.
"This news is exciting as we approach the end of the year and shows that our doubling down on sales efforts is yielding great results for our franchise owners," said Jason Leverant, COO and president of AtWork. "I am optimistic this growth will continue, and we will have an even stronger Q4 than anticipated."
AtWork is a leading provider of contingent and permanent workforce solutions in the country. With franchise locations stretching coast to coast, AtWork helps put nearly 40,000 people to work each year, mainly in the light industrial, manufacturing, and office clerical sectors.
The Franchise Times Top 400 is a comprehensive annual ranking of the 500 largest U.S.-based franchise systems based on each brand's global systemwide sales from the previous year.
During a challenging time, the Knoxville-based franchise achieved unit growth with a 3.5% increase to 88 units nationwide. In 2024, AtWork has experienced revenue growth and a 17% increase in units, adding 10 more franchise owners for a total of 15 units.
"This growth reflects our proven business model and successful sales efforts, as the economy has shifted from one where talent was in short supply to one where constant sales efforts are needed to win new business," said Leverant.
The Future of the Staffing Industry
Despite some economic uncertainty, the Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) reports that the U.S. staffing industry is projected to reach $189 billion in 2024, with a 5% growth forecasted for 2025.
"With inflation, interest rate cuts, and political uncertainty, many businesses have adopted a 'wait and see' approach, affecting their hiring decisions. But AtWork's persistence and ability to offer flexibility have allowed us to grow while others are slowing down. We look forward to the continued growth and increasing our presence in the market," Leverant said.
