I recently met with a franchisee that was banging their head against the door struggling with hiring.

“I spend hours every week going through sh!t resumes” – they said to me.

The fact of the matter is:

• 60% of candidates just click yes when roles are suggested.
• They use easy apply and auto apply to submit applications to a bunch of opportunities

I often find that job application generation is not the breakdown or the issue franchisees have. They always think it is because they do not know another way.

This is the actual problem:

1. Franchisees are exhausted with wasting time on unqualified candidates. 
2. Franchisees need to learn how to make THIER TEAM and YOUR BRAND stand out, so that they attract their tribe and ultimately convert application interest better

What if there was a way to systematically handle both of these two problems for your franchisees in a joint employer “safe” way?

What if there was a way to give your franchisees the ability to get HOURS a week back by reducing time spent on sorting through applicants, phone screening, initial interviews?

And NO. The idea I am about to propose is NOT putting a chat bot in charge of responding.

Here’s the problem: GM’s aren’t going to their franchisees saying “if I wasn’t going through these resumes I could make you X more money”. 
They are used to the way things have always been.

Solution 💡: Here’s the Idea & pitch:

It’s actually simple:

Make the whole first interview a virtual process:

• Franchisee pre records 3-5 “round 1” questions 
• Candidates submit their answers back on their iPhone 
• Then focus your managers time only on the best talent

Hear me out:

With one-way video prescreening, candidates respond on their time—so your franchisees and their managers can review on their own time. Not to mention, those that actually complete the video are genuinely interested.

Candidates response to this type of experience often goes something like this:

“I knew nothing about your organization. But when I watched the welcome video I learned {X.Y.Z.} and I connected with your mission and local focus on the community. And when I answered the initial questions the whole process really stood out. I knew wanted to work for you”

Franchisees and hiring managers experience is:  They can see and hear the candidate speak before ever having to schedule time for an interview. Sure, you may get less responses. But the goal is to weed out the tire kickers and the people who cant follow a very simple process.

There is a system that has been built to deliver franchise organizations just this. A virtual screening process with a complete, brand specific library to make this whole thing as easy as sweet tea.

If you want to help your franchisees have

• No more scheduling headaches.
• No more wasted interviews.
• Just faster, smarter hiring.
