Staffing Franchise Offers Services to the High Growth Engineering and IT Industries

Protingent Staffing was founded to meet the growing need of businesses for a source of high level technical engineering talent. After experiencing strong growth in its headquarters state of Washington, the company began expanding throughout the United States using a franchise model in 2008.

Today, Protingent Staffing offers a competitive advantage in sourcing and screening qualified engineers, and provides product development and test engineers to businesses throughout the country through its franchisees. The company believes that technology will remain a driving force behind the success of the U.S. economy and that the need for temporary labor will continue to grow in the coming years.

"Engineering and IT are high growth industries. That, combined with the fact that companies increasingly rely on a temporary labor force due to uncertain economic times, makes Protingent Staffing a very attractive opportunity," says Tim Bruce, President of Protingent Staffing Franchising.

When considering potential franchisees, Protingent looks for individuals with strong interpersonal skills that also preferably have a background in sales. Franchisees are provided with extensive initial and ongoing training and support, as well as, full access to the company's database and all the tools necessary to run a technical staffing firm.

Protingent Staffing was created by engineers who have an understanding of what companies are looking for, and has built its business on that foundation. "As a company, we are passionate about our business and believe the single most important factor in selecting a franchise is to choose an industry that you are both knowledgeable and passionate about," says Bruce.

Protingent Staffing credits its franchising success to a combination of its passion for the industry, emphasis on training and support, and ability to provide access to high growth industries. The company envisions having 10 to 12 franchise offices covering major technology centers throughout the U.S. over the next 5 to 10 years. Currently, franchisees are assigned primary areas of responsibility that typically cover an entire metropolitan area.
