FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Olympia, Washington – August 8, 2025 – Esteemed, the AI-powered workforce platform known for its innovations in HR tech solutions, and 30,000+ professional talent network - Esteemed Colleagues, today announced the launch of its U.S. franchise program, opening exclusive branch territories across major U.S. metropolitan markets.
The new program offers staffing professionals and firm owners the opportunity to build their own high-margin, multi-revenue line staffing business under the Esteemed brand — with access to the company’s proprietary software platforms, AI automation tools, and virtual talent bench.
“We’ve designed this program to empower experienced operators to scale faster, with lower overhead and greater recurring revenue potential,” said Chris McGrath, Founder and CEO of Esteemed. “Franchisees gain the brand power, end-to-end technology stack, and operational support that typically take years — and millions — to build from scratch.”

Esteemed’s branch operators will have exclusive rights to their metro market and the ability to sell across four core revenue streams:
- Professional Staffing Services – Powered by the Esteemed Colleagues network of 30,000+ vetted professionals in IT, digital, engineering, healthcare, and operations.
- AI Agents – Proprietary Esteemed Agents platform offering digital employees either as standalone automation or paired with human talent.
- Digital Solutions – AI and HR tech consulting, process automation, and implementation services through Esteemed Digital.
- Proprietary SaaS Platforms – Recruiting (ATS), Employee Experience (EXP), and Customer Experience (Hiring, Interviewing, and Onboarding).
Branch owners also benefit from AI-powered sales tools, a branded CRM, and optional offshore recruiting support.

Exclusive territories are now available nationwide, with priority given to major metro markets including New York, Boston, Chicago, Raleigh, Atlanta, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Austin, and Minneapolis.
Franchisees can expect 8–14% residual gross margin commissions, ARR from SaaS sales, and eligibility for stock options tied to performance and platform growth.
