Patrice & Associates
Overview
Patrice & Associates is the largest hospitality recruiting firm in the U.S., specializing in placing management-level candidates in restaurants, hotels, casinos, and retail. Unlike staffing agencies, the company focuses on permanent placements, with client companies paying for recruitment services. Founded in 1989 and franchising since 2009, the business operates as a virtual, home-based model, allowing franchisees to work remotely while leveraging a large database of job orders and candidates from day one.
Franchisees spend their time connecting with candidates and employers, building relationships, and matching qualified talent to open positions. The business is scalable, with the option to operate solo or expand with a team of recruiters. Support includes state-of-the-art recruiting software, training, marketing, and ongoing mentorship. The franchise provides leads from day one, enabling franchisees to generate revenue quickly.
This opportunity is ideal for entrepreneurs with strong communication and sales skills who enjoy relationship-building and working in a structured system. Successful franchisees often have backgrounds in hospitality, sales, HR, or management and must be comfortable spending most of their day on the phone. The business offers flexibility, low overhead, and a proven model in a high-demand industry.
