Buy a CareersUSA Franchise

CareersUSA is a national staffing firm headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, providing temporary, temp-to-hire and direct-hire personnel to businesses across a wide range of industries, including Fortune 500 clients. Founded in 1981 and franchising since 1988, the brand places more than 20,000 people in jobs each year through a network of offices around the country.

The company is a certified Woman-Owned Business Enterprise, founded and led by Marilyn J. Ounjian. It runs a B2B service model with low inventory requirements, earning revenue by billing client companies for placed workers, with temp-to-hire and direct-hire fees adding to ongoing temporary-staffing income. Each franchised office is territory-based and supported by the corporate headquarters.

CareersUSA backs its offices with proprietary systems, including the PerfectTIME online time-and-attendance platform, and holds memberships with the American Staffing Association, SHRM and the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council. The brand positions itself on tailored staffing solutions and long-standing client relationships rather than high-volume placement alone.

Why buy a CareersUSA Franchise?

Staffing is a B2B service category that has proved resilient across economic cycles, as employers turn to flexible labor in both expansions and slowdowns. To buy a CareersUSA franchise is to step into an established name that has operated since 1981 and built relationships with Fortune 500 and mid-market clients, backed by a recognised, woman-owned corporate brand.

The office-based model carries low inventory and equipment costs compared with product or retail franchises, and the temp-to-hire and direct-hire revenue lines complement recurring temporary-staffing billings. Corporate backing provides operating systems, the PerfectTIME platform, HR resources and marketing support, giving an owner infrastructure that an independent staffing startup would have to assemble alone.

CareersUSA – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Franchisees receive corporate training at the CareersUSA headquarters in Boca Raton, covering staffing operations, recruiting and client development, followed by ongoing field support from the corporate team. Owners use the brand's operating systems, including the PerfectTIME online time-and-attendance platform, alongside HR resources and marketing support for local client acquisition. Resale buyers should confirm with CareersUSA what onboarding and PerfectTIME system access transfer to incoming owners when an office changes hands.

  2. Ideal Owner

    CareersUSA suits a sales-oriented operator who is comfortable with B2B relationship building, business development and managing a recruiting team. No prior staffing experience is required, but owners should enjoy networking with local employers, understanding client hiring needs and maintaining service relationships over time. An interest in HR and workforce management helps, as does the discipline to handle billing and compliance. The model rewards hands-on owners who can win and retain corporate accounts within their territory.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    CareersUSA has earned recognition as a leading woman-owned business, including top rankings for women-owned and family-owned companies and honours from the South Florida Business Journal, and is a certified Woman-Owned Business Enterprise through the WBENC. It holds membership in the American Staffing Association and SHRM and is a Microsoft Partner. For resale buyers, this brand-level standing should be weighed alongside the specific office's local reputation, client references and reviews within its territory.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US staffing industry generated roughly $178.7 billion in 2025, making it one of the larger B2B service sectors and a steady source of demand as employers use flexible labor to manage workloads and hiring risk. Demand spans office, clerical, healthcare, IT, manufacturing and professional roles, and tends to hold up through economic cycles as temporary hiring rises in both growth and uncertainty. For resale buyers, local employer concentration and the health of major client industries in the territory shape revenue stability.
