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.

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.

We are very excited to have Bob join us. He is great — I like him a lot. Please don’t forget I have two more positions I’d like you to fill!

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Thank you! You guys did a great job of providing us with outstanding candidates. Beginning with eight quality resumes to choose from, we selected six candidates for interviews with our management team. All six candidates were so strong that a lively debate ensued among the management team just to decide whom should be called back for a second interview. Three candidates went through the second interview process and our choice for the position has already begun his employment. Within his first week he has had an impact on our company. Doug, as you know, we were so pleased with your work on this project that we have engaged you for yet another — and surely equally as successful — search.

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.
