Franchise recruiting challenges

Hiring the right person for an open job is often a challenge. When it comes to franchise recruiting, chances are you may be faced with more challenges than simply whether or not a candidate is qualified.

For many, one concern when it comes to franchise recruiting is turnover. Quick-service restaurants and seasonal franchises often have high turnover rates. Those rates, paired with the need to keep staffing levels at a certain point so service doesn’t falter, means that hiring well and hiring quickly is important. Stores need to find  as many qualified candidates as possible to ensure the business can continue to run efficiently. In today’s market, we are seeing more competition for talent than ever before, and that competition is coming from new places like retail/supply chain or pressure to increase wages and perks. But a franchisee is responsible for more than just hiring—and maintaining focus to actively build out and maintain a candidate pipeline can be difficult. That’s where PandoLogic comes in.

The problem: A narrow pipeline and low ROI

NRV Pizza, a regional franchise based in Virginia, was only using one job site with a set budget to market their job opportunities and build a candidate pipeline. While they were investing a meaningful amount each month advertising jobs, they weren’t always seeing the ROI they were hoping for. And even when they did see a higher number of applicants, the quality wasn’t always up to the standard they look for in their hires.

The solution: Diversified recruitment sources and automated postings

Through the use of PandoLogic, NRV Pizza was able to diversify recruitment sources with  minimal effort to increase their candidate pipeline. Pandologic’s programmatic job advertising  platform, pandoIQ, automated and optimized job ad visibility across relevant sites in their  network. This increased their exposure to the right job seekers without overspending or manual intervention.

The results

• 472% increase in applicant volume
• 533% decrease in cost per applicant 
• 19% reduction in monthly recruitment investment
• 15% increase in overall employees on payroll
