About the GigWorx Brand
GigWorx is a tech-enabled staffing franchise at the intersection of traditional staffing and the gig economy. Franchisees build a local B2B client base and a vetted worker pool, while a proprietary platform streamlines recruiting, onboarding, shift scheduling, confirmations, and communications in real time. The model emphasizes lean setup, hands-on launch support, and territory-based growth.
What is the GigWorx franchise?
GigWorx connects local businesses with pre-screened workers via an app-based operating system. Target verticals commonly include administration, construction, hospitality, restaurants, and other service industries where demand fluctuates and fast fill rates are critical. Franchisees focus on sales and recruiting, while the platform handles the operational spine.

Territory, model & operations
- Territory: market availability is confirmed during discovery; territories are assigned to protect local growth.
- Employer-of-record: for temporary associates, the franchisor serves as employer of record and administers core insurances; associated accruals/deductions are handled per the operating schedule.
- Location & size: many owners launch lean; typical offices are ~1,000–1,500 sq ft (subject to local needs and phase).
Training & support
New owners receive structured onboarding, operations training, sales/marketing playbooks, and continuing support from the home office to accelerate ramp-up and scale.
Ideal owner profile
Operators with strong B2B sales and account management skills, plus comfort with recruiting and team leadership. Staffing/HR experience is helpful but not mandatory if the owner can build a reliable client pipeline and worker roster.
How to open
- Submit inquiry and review brand materials/FDD.
- Validate territory fit and unit economics.
- Complete training; prepare hiring and client outreach.
- Launch with a local marketing plan and roll out the app to clients and workers.
