National Recruitment supporting franchisees

The National Recruitment franchise was established in 1994 and is now a high profile organisation with a powerful presence in the key industries of granted franchisees.

The recruitment franchise is a very innovative organisation, often recognising industry trends. The software system developed in 2003, the re-engineered sales process introduced in 2005, the intensive re-training of recruiters in 2006 to ensure highly qualified and sought after candidates are sourced for the clients using direct recruitment techniques, are all indications of the innovative spirit of the business services franchise.

The National Recruitment franchise is headed by co-directors, Rob Sincich, William Tee, Rob Skehan, Grant Tasker and Russell Clarke with Max Scales acting as consultant to the board. They are key industry operators in their own right.

Max Scales is a very experienced businessman and says of his involvement with the recruitment franchise, “I was approached to consult to the board and accepted the role as I felt National Recruitment was a company with extremely good operating systems and support available to franchisees.

“I also could see that as the recruitment industry is growing at a rate of 10 per cent per annum, and that franchising is a highly regulated and successful sector within the Australian economy, I wanted to become a part of this exciting business opportunity.”

Russell Clarke is responsible for business service franchise partner and staff training and development and support. He has been involved in the recruitment industry since 1975.

Rob Skehan brings considerable financial acumen to his role as co-director in charge of the National Recruitment franchise finance and administration.

Three existing recruitment franchise partners, Rob Sincich, William Tee and Grant Tasker, were so impressed with the recruitment and sales systems that in 2004 they acquired an interest in the company and have contributed their knowledge and experience to help drive the company forward ever since.

The area distribution license concept was launched late in 2006 due to the need for representation at local level by someone who has a stake in the business services franchise. The 150 hours of training and 50 hours of support required to be given to a National Recruitment franchise in the first three months could not be delivered from Melbourne with the degree of intensity required to make a franchisee successful. Hence, the licensees will recruit, train and support their own group of recruitment franchise partners in their home state.
