Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) February 22, 2006 -- SearchPath International, a franchisor of talent acquisition professional services firms, announced today that the company is entering the Las Vegas market.

SearchPath International is based on the best ideas and concepts in the search and recruiting industry. With more than 18 years in the industry, President & CEO Thomas Johnston has created a new business model, making SearchPath employment and franchise ownership opportunities available to entrepreneurs across the country.

“My goal is to build SearchPath into a major international firm by offering an opportunity based on service, quality and integrity,” said Johnston. “Our leadership team includes some of the top talent in the search and franchising industry, and we’ve identified Las Vegas as a fast growing market with great potential.”

Dave Simcox, Franchise Sales Consultant for SearchPath International, will be scouting out locations and meeting with interested franchise owners on February 23. SearchPath’s goal is to open 10 to 20 Las Vegas-based franchises in the next 60 days.

Simcox said, “We’re pleased to be bringing new jobs and entrepreneurial opportunities to the Las Vegas area. SearchPath offers substantial earning potential, a flexible schedule and a lifestyle which is attractive to franchise owners.”

Johnston is targeting five audiences as potential franchise owners:
1 – Existing search firm owners who see value in leveraging the assets of being part of a larger team;
2 – Experienced search consultants ready to make the leap and open their own search firm;
3 – Young entrepreneurs who see the SearchPath platform as a vehicle to owning their own business in search and talent acquisition;
4 – Executives seeking a second career that will leverage past business experience; and,
5 – Senior executives (55 ) interested in the earning potential and flexibility of owning a search firm.

Headquartered in Cleveland, SearchPath has more than 25 committed franchises across the country. A reasonable initial investment, combined with the relatively low start-up costs, makes the decision to join SearchPath exciting and appealing. SearchPath provides owners with a wide variety of services, including access to the company’s extensive databases, industry leading training, centralized research and the latest technology platform.

The key differentiators that set SearchPath apart are:
* Franchise model – The model is proven and sound for both existing offices and new owners.
* Performance-based fees – SearchPath is leading the search industry in offering clients an alternative that actually bases a portion of the search fee on the performance of the successful candidate.
* Client-centric search – SearchPath’s “client centric” search model changes the paradigm of traditional search, providing clients with a more customized solution. SearchPath has designed a program to maximize a company’s talent acquisition objectives and shorten their time to hire as well as control their cost per hire.
* Exit strategy and retention of talent – SearchPath is committed to programs that will attract and retain the best talent in the search and recruiting industry. These same programs will also allow a true exit strategy.
* Executive experience – SearchPath’s founder has significant, unique experience as both a franchisor and a franchisee in the search business. Johnston continues to lead his search practice specializing in the search industry and is considered one of the best in the business.
* Compensation – SearchPath offers some of the best compensation packages in the industry, which includes incentive trips, bonuses and a generous referral program that feeds a long term revenue model.
