SANFORD ROSE ASSOCIATES
Sanford Rose Associates franchises enable owners to operate executive search and recruiting businesses that assist client companies in filling critical positions, typically on a direct-hire basis, with fees paid by the client rather than the candidate. Franchisees specialize in specific industries or functional disciplines and have worldwide recruiting rights without territorial restrictions. The business model focuses on securing search assignments through direct marketing and successfully placing qualified candidates via phone, email, and in-person interactions.
