History
William H. Stoller and Robert A. Funk founded Express Employment International in 1983 and began franchising two years later. With 860+ locations throughout the U.S, Canada, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, we are the #1 staffing franchise for people, communities, and businesses. Since our beginning, Express has been guided by a simple vision: help as many people as possible find good jobs by helping as many clients as possible find good people. The journey to become an international franchised staffing giant was decades in the making, an evolution forged from humble beginnings, marked by perseverance, and an undying passion to help people build better lives for themselves and their families and help communities grow and prosper. This is our story, with many chapters written, and many more still to come.
Ideal Candidate
We are seeking community-minded sales leaders who are willing to be hands-on in daily operations. Our owners have commonly led and managed teams and are driven to achieve more. They are natural relationship builders and strong communicators.
Industry experience is NOT necessary. Over 95% of our existing owners have zero industry experience. While our owners have diverse backgrounds, they all share a common focus of taking care of their customers and following the Express System, all while maintaining a positive attitude with the perfect amount of grit. Typically, candidates will need to be prepared to invest a minimum of $131,700 for the startup of the business and be able to cover personal living expenses for one year.

Sales/Client service focused
Community minded
Natural leader
High energy
