Staffing and Recruiting Firm Awarded 50 Top Franchises for Financial Performance and Franchisee Satisfaction  

ATLANTA – Spherion Staffing and Recruiting (Spherion) announced today that it has been recognized by Franchise Business Review (FBR) as a 2026 Most Profitable Franchise. Only 50 brands were named to the annual list, further reinforcing Spherion as a reputable and attractive business model.

Franchise Business Review, a franchise market research firm that performs independent surveys of franchisee satisfaction, provides the only rankings of franchises based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance. Franchise Business Review publishes its rankings of top franchises as well as industry reports throughout the year that highlight research on the top franchises in specific sectors.

To identify the award-winning companies on the list of this year’s Most Profitable Franchises, Franchise Business Review analyzed data from more than 29,000 franchise owners representing 330 brands regarding their overall satisfaction with their brand and their likelihood to recommend it to others. Other factors include the annual income of franchise owners and the minimum startup capital requirement.

Spherion franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including training and support, operations, franchisee relationships and financial opportunities.

“We are proud to receive this recognition because franchisee profitability is our ultimate metric of success,” said Kathy George. “This award belongs to our franchise owners, whose hard work and dedication drive Spherion forward. We’ve always believed that our job isn’t just to provide tools, but to support our franchise partners every step of the way. Everything we build together is based on their financial success.”

Further reinforcing the strength of the franchise system, Spherion has earned additional recognition in FBR’s “Culture100” list, Top Franchise for Women and Top Franchise lists in the first half of 2026. In 2025, FBR honored Spherion with six awards in the following categories: Top 200 Franchises, Most Profitable Franchises, Franchise Rock Star, Top Franchises for Veterans, Top Franchises for Culture, and Top Franchises for Women.

Spherion brandishes the power of local through a network of independent and empowered franchisees. Each Spherion franchisee enriches their community through connecting and facilitating employment opportunities every day—and when they’re successful together, their investments flow back into the neighborhoods where they live and work. The power of Spherion is in its local roots.
