About Grace Hensley, Franchise Owner

The professional skill sets that Grace developed throughout her career across two industries prepared her well when she transitioned to owning a successful recruiting business with her husband.

These skills also make her an effective recruiter, and business consultant as Grace can connect with potential candidates on a personal level, assess their suitability for specific roles, and attract top talent to the organization.
