Premier national talent acquisition franchise expands into thriving Dallas market

DALLAS – June 26, 2018 – NEXTAFF, an industry leader in identifying quality talent for businesses, today announced it is opening its first location in Dallas this summer.

Have you always wanted to start a staffing agency but just need some information on how you can get started?  Have you been working hard for someone else and your drive and determination are telling you that this is the right time to make great things happen for yourself?  Have you started taking a thorough inventory of your financial situation; including listing all of your assets, debts and how much funding you'll be able to provide? Do you have some savings but know that you will still need some additional capital in order to start your staffing business? These are the top 5 places where you can find funding so that your staffing agency startup dreams can come true.

One of the secrets to success in the current staffing market is how well the supply and demand are handled. As more job opportunities begin to open up, more and more people will start to look for assistance in finding available positions. Employers will also need assistance in finding qualified job candidates to fill the available positions. This is why it is a perfect time for anyone who has been waiting to branch out on their own to take full advantage of a staffing franchise. 

Running a business on your own is not an easy feat, and being part of a staffing franchise is not going to be any different. Running a small business will require you to invest a significant amount of time, resources, and money, and there will be no guarantees that you will see a return on investment(ROI). Due to these risks, many people let this stop them from leaving the familiarity, security, and stability of their current place of employment. According to research, only about 14% of people decide to become entrepreneurs. 

You may think starting a staffing agency sounds like a great idea. With the economy on the upswing and consumer confidence higher than it has been for quite some time, you may feel like now is the time to plunge into going into business for yourself. Yet, at the same time, you're not sure if you have what it takes to make it happen. You know that statistics indicate that many businesses start and fail after only a few years. You don't want to be just another statistic. So, how can you be sure starting a business would work out well for you? Here are four typical characteristics of people who start their own business.

Every industry has its own little quirks in which certain kinds of people tend to rise to the top. In accounting, meticulous detail-oriented people do best because their work is consistently clean and precise. In marketing, people who are constantly thinking of innovative new ideas rise to the top because that's how to make a splash in the business. But what about recruiting and staffing? Whether you are looking to start your first experience as an entrepreneur or add another business to a long line of successful launches, running a staffing franchise can be one of the most rewarding business owner experiences in the industry. No matter what line of work you come from, if you understand the needs of modern businesses in terms of high-quality talent and perfect employee matches, you just might have what it takes to become a vital part of your local business ecosystem. After all, companies need a wide variety of resources and business partners but everyone needs a skilled and dedicated staff.

Now, more than ever before, more Americans are becoming part of the franchising industry as a way to make a dream of becoming an entrepreneur a reality. Why are so many Americans looking for franchising opportunities instead of opening their own? What are the benefits of becoming a part of a franchise instead of having an independent business?

If you have ever thought about going into business for yourself, then you are among the many Americans who have thought the same thing. Some people go on to start their own business and to a successful career, while others may dream but never take that step and do it. How does a person know if starting a business is right for them or if they will make it or not? These are difficult questions but all businesses have probably asked them at some point. If you are considering starting a business and have the entrepreneurial spirit, here are 5 questions to ask yourself before taking that step.

Recently, we found a new piece published in the Harvard Business Review. Essentially, the authors asserted how companies that previously failed in their digital strategy could improve by better positioning themselves as intermediaries of transactions in their supply chain. We loved this perspective because it demonstrates how a staffing franchise opportunity enables a business professional like you to focus on many types of relationships. For example, you could choose to specialize more in helping employers to tailor their job descriptions to specific opportunities or you could choose to specialize in recruiting candidates who want to change careers that will use their transferable skills.

Starting your own staffing franchise is no small matter. You are not only taking up the mantle of entrepreneur and business owner, you will also hold the careers of thousands of others in your hands throughout the course of your career. As a staffing franchisee owner, you'll need to be ready to lead your employees, make powerful connections with local hiring businesses, and reach out to skilled job seekers. However, before you can do any of that, you'll need to actually have a franchise, a building to house it in, employees to work for you and clients to work for. If you think you're ready to start your own franchise, building the company in your mind is often the best way to prepare yourself for the true rigors of business ownership.
