A unique opportunity to start your own home-based recruitment consultancy is being offered by Select Appointments, the UK’s leading recruitment franchise business.

Select are making opportunities available exclusively in the Central London area.  With a franchise model that can be launched relatively quickly, Franchisees can operate from a suitable home-based office set up, taking full advantage of the attractive initial franchise fee to keep overhead costs down in the early days of your new business.  The Select model is designed to make it accessible to anyone who has the required skills and wants to run the business from a home base.

David Buist, director of franchise development at Select Appointments said: “This is an excellent opportunity to get in on the ground floor of the fast growing recruitment sector.  Although franchise owners will be operating from a home base they will have the training, marketing, back support and resources of a national organisation with a superb brand presence and 30 year track record of delivering excellent service to employers and candidates.”

He added: “No prior experience of the recruitment industry is required but successful franchisees must have the business acumen, ambition and drive to build the business with our support.  We see a bright and growing future in recruitment.  This is reflected in our aim to grow the number of franchisee owned offices in the UK from 27 to 100 within the next five years.”
