Subway:
A Franchise/RPO Case Study
We Started with a Dozen
The partnership between Subway and Blue Rock Search began in 2020, when Blue Rock assisted with 12 hires. By 2021, Subway was in the midst of a transformation that included the acquisition of several thousand of their own franchised locations. This created an immediate need for new talent. By then, Blue Rock had a proven track record, demonstrating to Subway they had expertise, significant connections in the Franchise world, and could find top talent for a variety of roles.
In 2021, Blue Rock recruited for Field Support roles, filling a total of 40 positions. The firm built a complete team to support Subway, and ensure the process went smoothly. Candidate quality and the ease of the process confirmed to Subway that they had chosen the right partner to meet their long-term recruiting needs.
Formalizing the RPO
In 2022, Subway formally chose Blue Rock Search as their RPO partner. Blue Rock worked with Subway to fill roles in all departments, including international markets. By the end of 2022, they had filled 85 roles both in the United States and internationally, including Columbia, Germany, and Canada.
That momentum continues in 2023 and 2024, with over 150 additional positions filled. Blue Rock’s RPO solution has proven to be a perfect fit for meeting Subway’s varied and ongoing needs, providing support for long-term success and Subway’s continued goals for growth.
If you are looking for a partner to help you fill a variety of roles, Blue Rock Search can help.
