Spherion®, a leading staffing and recruiting franchise, adopted the Predictive Index® in 1994 in order to identify the people and tools to establish and grow the business. Today, the power of PI® is continuously realized through the confident hiring decisions of the majority of the 70 franchise owners.
“When I entered the market, I think my franchise soon rose ahead of our competitors because I had the understanding of the Predictive Index to help guide my hiring decisions. Using PI, I was able to build a strong team that would push the business forward. Today, I can’t imagine running my business without it.” - Jill Berg, Spherion Franchise Owner
CLIENT: Spherion is a leading staffing and recruiting franchise specializing in job placement with a network of offices throughout the United States and Canada. The franchise has been recognized for five consecutive years as a World Class franchisor™ by the Franchise Research Institute®.
CHALLENGE: Jill Berg, Spherion Franchise Owner, faced the challenge of hiring a partner who would complement her behavioral skills and run back-end operations while she focused on developing business. As business continued to grow, Berg faced hiring challenges in building her team to meet the needs of a broadening clientele.

Today, the Predictive Index System has allowed Spherion to streamline their hiring process, improve job fit, and provide awareness inside the organization to help eliminate frustration and empower employee success.
