About Us
A career helping people make their next career move can be highly rewarding, both personally and financially. As a Patrice & Associates franchise owner, you are a recruiting manager with your own defined territory. You work to connect our client companies (some of the nation’s leading chain restaurant and hospitality groups) with qualified management candidates. You can use your expertise in the hospitality field to help others find new careers and enjoy the benefits of working from home with flexible hours.
It’s the best of both worlds. You have independence and control over your own business, but you are also backstopped by the experience, resources and relationships Patrice & Associates has built over 20 years as one of the nation’s leading hospitality recruiting firms. This means you have built in clients, a nationwide database of candidates, access to all the major job boards – and experienced colleagues training and supporting you at every step.
As a recruiter, you earn money every time you place a candidate. As a franchise owner, you are entitled to the highest possible commission rate for each placement, territory overrides, the ability to build your own team of recruiters and resume job board access.
