For the 3rd straight year, the Hyrell Team had the opportunity to meet with many of the FASTSIGNS Franchise Partners at the 2013 FASTSIGNS Vendor Show in Dallas, Texas.

We are honored to be invited to this event each year and enjoy speaking with and learning from the FASTSIGNS community. The annual convention provides us a great opportunity to learn about the challenges that franchisees face and brainstorm on ways we can make the hiring process even easier.

This year, we took a brief poll of the convention attendees and wanted to pass along some of the (not surprising) results.


• 56% of all responders say that they “dread” hiring.

• 53% of people who DON’T use Hyrell said it took them a month or more to find their last hire.

• Top 3 Hyrell System Features that FASTSINGS Franchisees Love!

(1) Applicant Scoring
(2) Pre-Written Job Descriptions
(3) One Step Posting Process

As you can see, hiring is still one of the hardest business requirements for Franchisees and we often find similar results with our other franchise clients. But Hyrell offers real solutions to your hiring needs so that you can find the best people for your business.

Lastly, in our free time, we got to take in the local sites and go to see Kevin Durant play the Mavs! Jamie got us great seats that even had headrests (also known as the back wall!) Note: next time, Jamie doesn't book the tickets.
