"Hiring people is an art, not a science, and resumes can’t tell you if someone will fit into your company’s culture"
– Howard Schultz

Co-Founders Laurie Leoncavallo and Pam Izatt have worked with companies such as SportClips, Huntington Learning Centers, Buzz Franchise Brands, Home Helpers and Strategic Franchising, just to name a few. Placing positions from a Franchise Business Consultant up to a CEO. Our number one role we work on and place is a Director of Franchise Development, we have placed hundreds within the franchising industry.

Our process is unique and thorough. We are not a resume service, we vet our candidates through a process that guarantees they are strong and who they say they are. We have a 3 stage interview process with each candidate before we submit them to our client. This ensures that we are able to put our stamp of approval on each candidate. We submit the best of the best, those not looking for a job and are strong with a proven track record. Our clients don’t have the time to do the vetting we do that is why we are here, we can do the work so that our clients can do the hiring with confidence in who they are interviewing.

Recruiting is what we do, it is what we love and who we are. People are our business and being able to find the right fit for each brand isn’t just about their work experience, it’s about finding the balance of the person within. It’s important to know the candidates on every level, mind, body and spirit. It’s those qualities that at the end of the day are what matters for each of us. ZenRecruiter’s team brings some amazing gifts, expertise, talents and quietness to the recruiting industry. With our ability and contacts that set us apart, with being so well known and connected within franchising we set ourselves apart from the rest.
