For the last three decades, AtWork has grown to become an award-winning national staffing franchise with more than 100 locations across 30 states. Driven by its sole mission of connecting people with jobs and jobs with people, the company puts nearly 40,000 individuals to work each year and has carved out a specialty in connecting qualified candidates with administrative, light-industrial, accounting and finance, hospitality, IT and management-level positions at some of the nation’s largest and most recognizable companies.
One of AtWork’s most recent franchised locations opened its doors in Maryville, Tennessee, just outside of the company’s headquarters in Knoxville. It is the family-owned location of AtWork’s President and Chief Operating Officer Jason Leverant, his wife Kyla and son Ethan, who help oversee the day-to-day operations.
Before joining AtWork as Vice President of Sales in 2007, Jason did product marketing in the golf industry and worked in sales for another staffing firm. Under the mentorship of AtWork founder and CEO John Hall, Jason stepped into his current role in 2012 and is responsible for stewarding the company to becoming one of the leading staffing providers and top franchising opportunities in the United States. Jason’s dedication to the company and staffing industry as a whole has also resulted in his recent appointment to the American Staffing Association’s Board of Directors in 2022.
It’s an honor to have ownership in a company I wholeheartedly believe in and to venture into franchise ownership with my family in my hometown,” said Jason. “It’s not lost on me that this is a rare opportunity to lead by example and to fully immerse myself in our franchise model to understand firsthand how we can make it even better.”
The Leverant family has established the Maryville location as a key community resource to help employees thrive, businesses prosper and communities flourish.
“We credit our dedication to offering superior service and putting our customers first for the rapid growth we’ve seen over the last three months,” said Kyla. “If we can help local businesses grow and connect neighbors with jobs, we know that ultimately benefits the community we call home.”
AtWork continues to prove that its business model is a viable, scalable franchise opportunity with its impressive year-over-year unit and overall sales growth percentage. The company added seven franchised units and generated $350M in annual sales in 2023. Since 2020, AtWork has grown 42% revenue.
Relatively low compared to other franchise concepts, AtWork’s initial investment is between $153,500 and $210,500. In 2023, the average gross revenue for all franchised AtWork locations reached $4 million.
“AtWork’s positive growth is a reflection of our intentional efforts over the years to grow steadily and strategically without losing sight of our servant mission of helping others,” said Leverant.
