Workforce Extensions

At Workforce Extensions we specialise in providing quality labour-hire staff to various organisations across Australia. Each of our nationwide offices is owned by a local business operator. With the ever increasing cost and complexity of recruitment and the potential cost of terminating employees, more and more employers are turning to contract staff as a solution to the problem of maintaining a workforce.

I'm not a human resources expert; what assistance and training do you provide me with?
We are proud of our comprehensive training program which will help you get to know our system right from the start. Once operational, you may refer to the extensive operations manual, the ongoing support of the franchise support team and your fellow franchisees.

How much is the investment in a Workforce Extensions recruitment franchise?
The investment is $5000 + GST plus initial office setup costs. You will be entitled to claim a full credit for any GST you pay. In addition you will need to allow for the fees of your own solicitor and accountant and for any prepaid expenses such as insurance and some working capital. You will also need to have a vehicle which is suitable for the purpose of visiting clients.

How much will a Workforce Extensions franchise turn over and generate as profit in year?
This is something that no one can accurately forecast. It depends on a number of factors, not least of which is your ability to develop new clients. At such time that we are satisfied that you are a genuine candidate we will assist you to develop your own financial forecasts for the operation of a franchise.
