History

Formed in 1986 by John Hall and franchising since 1992, the Knoxville-based franchise AtWork has built profitable staffing franchises under one of the industry’s most recognizable brands. Hall first grew the company to 11 offices across East Tennessee. Then, after realizing the easily replicable business model he had, he began franchising, opening his first location in Decatur, Alabama. AtWork locations cater predominantly to the light industrial and clerical marketplace. Today, at more than 90 AtWork offices, entrepreneurs are helping their communities by helping job seekers find employment and local businesses recruit talent, all while recognizing the benefits of a franchise system that pays for itself.

Ideal Candidate

Our franchisees generally come from a B2B sales background, often with staffing/recruiting experience. They are strong communicators and great at relationship building.
