Established and growing direct-hire hospitality recruiting business offering an opportunity to acquire a large, established territory covering Nevada, San Diego County, Riverside County, and Imperial County.

The business generated approximately $325,000 in revenue in 2025 and is currently tracking toward approximately $400,000 in 2026 revenue. The advertised SDE is based conservatively on the existing 1099 recruiter receiving a 45% commission and assumes the recruiter bills 100% of projected sales. An owner who chooses to personally recruit and make placements can retain the commission on those placements, creating the potential for materially higher owner earnings.

This is a direct-hire contingency recruiting model. There is no temporary staffing payroll, inventory, storefront, or significant equipment requirement. The business is home-based with low fixed overhead and a commission-driven recruiting structure. Revenue is generated when clients successfully hire candidates presented through the business.

The operation includes an established, highly targeted talent network of more than 65,000 candidate records, with resumes and direct contact information available for many candidates, subject to applicable transfer, privacy, and franchise requirements. The database continues to grow and provides an incoming owner with an established sourcing foundation rather than starting from scratch.

The business operates under Gecko Hospitality, an established hospitality recruiting franchise with national brand recognition, proven systems, training, technology, and recruiting resources. The franchise model provides an incoming owner with the independence of business ownership combined with the infrastructure and support of an established organization.

Growth potential is substantial. There is no practical limit to the number of recruiters an owner can add within the business model, and the territory provides access to hospitality employers throughout Nevada, San Diego County, Riverside County, and Imperial County. Growth opportunities include adding commission-based recruiters, increasing business development, expanding existing client relationships, reactivating the candidate network, and personally producing placements to increase owner earnings.

The current owner primarily focuses on business development and candidate sourcing while an established contractor handles the majority of placement activity. This provides flexibility for a buyer who wants to operate primarily as a business developer or for a hands-on recruiter who wants to personally produce additional revenue.

The franchise provides a two-week training program for the incoming owner. In addition, the seller will provide up to four hours per week of transition and support for eight weeks following training to assist with current pipelines, client introductions, sourcing strategy, business development processes, market knowledge, and operational transition.

Seller financing may be considered for a qualified buyer with a meaningful cash down payment. Additional financial information, franchise details, and confidential business information will be made available to qualified buyers during the diligence process.
