View Franchise Talent

I have had a GREAT experience using a headhunter out of New York by the name of Doug Kushell. Currently seven people on our Team have been brought in by Doug and are all doing extremely well! Doug’s company specializes in dealing with Franchise Searches, not just any company. Just thought I would pass on one of those best practices we always talk about.

This was the first time I have used recruiter. Working with you has been awesome. You really listened and pushed just enough to keep me moving forward when I was covered up with work. I think you brought us the perfect fit for the culture of our company. Best!

I have worked with Franchise Search for several years. Doug and his team are industry experts have a profound commitment to the success of both their clients business and the careers of their candidates. Doug will take the time to help identify then really get to know what his clients needs are; he and his team work relentlessly to find the ideal match. These guys truly care about Franchising and all the people they work with.

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.

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.

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.

As a startup franchisor, we were completely new to this process and this market. From the get go, Doug and his team gave us the confidence that not only could they find the right candidate for us, but they would also be able to provide us with industry-specific guidance as we worked through the process. As novices we were comforted by the integrity of Franchise Search and the highly customized approach they took to our search.

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 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.
