View Franchise Talent

When it comes to franchising, nobody knows talent like Doug! He’s a well connected recruiter that understands the needs of franchise organizations and matches well qualified candidates to meet those needs. I could always count on Doug for sound advice when searching for hard-to-find or impossible-to-find talent! He’s a joy to work with, has an amazingly easy going personality and makes an excellent business partner for any HR Professional in the franchise world.

I first used Doug’s firm in 2001 while recruiting a franchise sales team for Regus, and again recently when recruiting the head of our franchise program at Serendipity Labs.  He and his team identified, sourced and vetted a solid set of senior level candidates that met our requirements for SVP of Development at Serendipity Labs.  Doug managed the contact, introductions, follow-up calls, meetings and offers with a very high degree of professionalism and transparent communication.  Doug is the “go-to” recruiter for franchise talent, with his deep, longstanding connections in the industry and a great, well-deserved reputation.

I want to thank you for your assistance in regards to our franchise development position. The guidance you provided with all aspects of negotiating the contract was invaluable. I can honestly say your recommendation and ultimate placement with Randy has been a game changer in our franchise development department. I would definitely recommend Franchise Search to any franchise company looking to hire qualified candidates. Thanks again.

My expectations were more than met when I worked with Doug Kushell and Stacie Magurno on a franchise sales search. Doug impressed me with his grasp of the marketplace and candidates. And Doug and Stacie always were quick and exacting with their follow up. I would work with them again in an instant.

You are the guru and I will always call on you for my recruitment needs. You should probably thank pops one more time for the great gene pool.

Doug runs the premier franchise recruitment search firm in the franchise industry and is dedicated to helping all of his clients meet their goals. I have known Doug for over fifteen years and throughout our business relationship he has always been able to exceed expectations. Doug’s professionalism and attention to detail are just two of many attributes that have allowed him to excel in the field of professional franchise recruitment.

I was very impressed with how this turned out. I was very impressed with how quickly several strong candidates were sourced. I think Doug did a very good job of listening and understanding what we were looking for and did a good job of preparing each candidate without going too far so that we were able to get an honest assessment of each candidate.

Doug and his staff recently assisted us in the placement of a Vice President, Franchise Sales. The whole experience was very pleasant and refreshing in that Doug only sent us a small, select group of very qualified applicant. All of the staff at Franchise Search Inc. were informed of our needs and prompt in responding to our questions and I do not hesitate to highly recommend this firm for your franchise placement needs.

We have worked with Franchise Search, Inc for many years and have had great success as a result of the parntership. Doug takes the time to understand the particular needs of the engagement- of the hiring company and the role to be filled. I would highly recommend Franchise Search.

I wanted to email you to just say how great everything has worked out. We were hesitant at first when we learned the cost of your services. However, we didn’t know how else we could tap into the Franchise world and find extremely experienced candidates without the assistance of someone on the “inside”. The first group of candidates you sent us within the first few days were experienced beyond our hopes. It quickly became evident that the caliber of your firm was top notch. A month and a half into the relationship with our hire that you introduced, our appreciation and excitement has only increased. Looking back we should have been willing to spend double the amount with a sourcing firm. We couldn’t be happier with the service you provided us. It was a great learning experience to see how much a service such as yours is worth. Thanks so much, and I’m sure we will be in-listing your firm again as we grow.
