Owning a Healthcare Staffing Franchise in Today’s Current Climate
Healthcare recruitment is a vital industry experiencing unprecedented growth. Perhaps not surprisingly, considering the recent pandemic, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that healthcare staffing is on the rise with a 16 percent increase in hiring growth expected from 2020 to 2030. This is a much faster increase than the average for other occupations.
If you’ve ever considered owning a staffing franchise, there can’t be a better time to jump in. Learn how you can become financially stable and professionally fulfilled by owning your own healthcare staffing franchise with NEXTAFF.
The need for healthcare staffing is greater than ever
Skilled labor of all kinds in the medical field is in greater demand than ever.
The healthcare market is increasing for many reasons, including an aging global population. Between 2015 and 2030, the number of people in the world over 60 years of age is expected to increase 56%, from over 900 million to almost 1.5 billion. It’s also estimated that one in five healthcare workers, along with other first responders, left or retired early from the healthcare field since the pandemic’s start.
Healthcare hiring practices have also changed over the past few years. An increased need for more healthcare workers of all types, along with changes in recruitment and technology has made it easier for healthcare staffing franchises to assist the healthcare industry.
The healthcare market is increasing in value globally
Everywhere you go, there’s a need for more healthcare workers. In fact, recent figures suggest that in 2026 the global healthcare industry will bring in $47.8 billion, an approximate 25% increase over 2020’s figure of $33.8 billion.
Why you should own a NEXTAFF healthcare staffing franchise
Healthcare staffing is a great way to serve your community while attaining financial security for yourself. But there are many other reasons for owning a NEXTAFF staffing franchise in healthcare.

What do you need to be a NEXTAFF Franchise Owner?
Success as a NEXTAFF Franchise Owner is really up to you. However, there are a few helpful traits that most successful NEXTAFF Owners have.
- People who own franchises, in general, tend to be more entrepreneurial. That is especially true for our Franchise Owners.
- The ability to sell is vital.
- Being able to provide good customer service and network in your community is also a plus.
- For franchise candidates who are interested in IT or healthcare staffing agencies, we require that they have prior industry experience, though not necessarily with staffing for these verticals.
Perhaps, among the most important traits of a NEXTAFF Franchise Owner is self-motivation and confidence. Also, people with vision, determination, and drive perform well as NEXTAFF Franchise Owners.
Healthcare staffing is vital to communities
NEXTAFF Franchise Owners do more than create financial independence for themselves. They also fill a valuable service in their communities.
As a NEXTAFF Franchise Owner, you’ll be doing more than helping local healthcare candidates find employment in their chosen field. You’ll be helping healthcare providers obtain the healthcare staffing resources they need to serve their (and your) community’s healthcare needs.
A staffing franchise built on people making opportunities for themselves
Self-motivation and determination can supersede experience when it comes to successful NEXTAFF Franchise Owners. Even our NEXTAFF Founders, Cary Daniel and James Windmiller, were new to the recruitment industry when they started their first staffing agency in 1998. After successfully growing and selling that first business, they started NEXTAFF in 2004.
Over a decade later, their business is helping more and more NEXTAFF Franchise Owners take control of their own businesses, just as they did themselves. So, if the two of them could do all of that, just imagine what you can do as the next new NEXTAFF Franchise Owner!

How to hire for the future
In the commercial shipping industry, staffing shortages have been on the rise for years – and the concern is only going to grow. This situation arose partly from an organic shift in the marketplace towards purchases online, accelerated tenfold by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Gaps in the labor market have arisen for more factors than just one, however. Data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics show that more than 4.3 million people “voluntarily quit,” jobs in December 2021, just missing the record high from the previous month.
On top of the consumer market, Millenials and Gen Z have previously been reluctant to join the warehouse workforce. Although in contrast to their slightly elder generation, the latter has shown more readiness to pick up warehouse work.
Statistics tell that Gen Z is upwards of 10% more likely to seek out transport work than their former. That being said, the market is also expecting a further decline in the workforce in the coming years. As of April 2022, transportation, warehousing, and utilities have seen the largest increases in job openings.
With so many moving parts, how can businesses stay on top of hiring in the current market? The aid of a liaison that can provide easy access to an available workforce becomes necessary.
Benefits of Working Alongside Franchise Agencies
In the summer of 2022, many industries, in general, are struggling to find the workers necessary to keep up with demand. Employment rates are still lower than they were pre-pandemic.
“As the U.S. economy continues adding back jobs after the pandemic recession, the staffing industry is playing a key role in getting people back to work,” said Richard Wahlquist, the president and CEO of ASA.
The global staffing industry revenue is $445bn, and in the US alone it amounts to over $130bn. There are a lot of reasons why staffing is one of the fastest-growing industries in B2B services. Candidates hired out of staffing agencies are typically more skilled, and ready to fill in for positions requiring years of experience.
When corporations and businesses face a prominent staffing gap, a common gut reaction can be cross-training existing employees to take on work for the missing labor. This is usually a costly mistake, however, leading to problems down the line – sometimes even resulting in more employees quitting!
The logical approach, when faced with seasonal staffing shortages, isn’t to stretch what you’re already working with, but to breathe new life into your workforce. This process is made immensely easier when partnering alongside a trusted and highly useful staffing agency.
Consider the Temporary and Contracted Workforce
When dealing with summer staffing shortages, it’s key to look for candidates with more flexibility in their schedules. Having the right intention and motivation when hiring during these times will truly help in the long run.
Staffing agencies can help businesses connect with workers who are:
Recently graduated students beginning or working on their career paths
-
-
- New graduates are always on the lookout for part-time work, and while they may move on to different work opportunities in the future, they make excellent employees due to a readiness to learn and improve.
-
Parents and caregivers seeking part-time work
-
-
- During the pandemic, many parents found themselves opting for working from home to help their children with remote schooling. However, now more parents and caregivers are opting for new temp jobs to better align with changing family schedules.
-
Recently graduated students beginning or working on their career paths
-
-
- Skilled individuals swapping careers paths needing work in-between
-
Employees brought on during such turbulent times can sometimes even outperform their colleagues. The desire to do one's best seems to shine during the temporary employment period, which in some cases leads to permanent and much-needed hires.
