Over the last 100 years, the United States has gone through many recessions, some longer than others. The one that sticks out the most is probably the great recession from 2007-2009 when the mortgage bubble burst. We also experienced a short recession with the recent pandemic. With interest rates rising, it seems as though another one might be on the horizon. So, what does that mean for the staffing / recruiting industry? And why might now be a good time to invest in a staffing / recruiting franchise business. While some specific sectors may see a sharp drop in business,…

Technology advancements have improved almost every aspect of our lives, from instant access to information, consumers buying products with ease, and businesses connecting globally. It’s safe to say we live in a technology driven world. In many aspects, technology has improved the process of connecting great talent with companies looking to hire.

    I had the privilege of Mike Kunkle assisting in my search for a new career.

    He was excellent, professional and full of information, and very determined on carrying out his mission. Mike always started out our meetings by asking me how I was doing, how was the family, etc. Getting that personal touch made me believe and really feel that he cared about me and my family during this search. I would not trade my dealings with him for anyone else. Mike is very professional, courteous, and down to earth. Keeping me informed of specifics about myself that I would need to improve to enhance my job search. I really appreciate his touch and will definitely keep in contact with him to let him know that he has gained a friend for life.
    Sinerely,
