Express Careers

Finding the right employees is the first crucial step in running a successful restaurant. It is an ongoing effort that requires time. Today’s hiring managers and franchisees are extremely busy; hiring needs to be streamlined in order to bring in the right people in as quickly as possible. In large operations, hiring can get even more complicated to manage and automate.

That’s why we are excited to announce our newest product: Express Careers, a simple way for franchise systems to leverage their employer brands and support franchisees with a completely branded corporate careers page.

What is Express Careers

With Express Careers, medium and large-sized franchise systems will have a central careers page where all franchisees and hiring managers can post their job openings. Candidates can filter different cities or locations and apply directly on your branded careers page. Each application will be readily accessible in the hiring manager’s email inbox or in their HigherMe dashboard.

What we heard from Franchise Leaders like you

Working with over 15,000 restaurants across North America, we’ve consistently heard franchise leaders bring up the same challenges when it comes to supporting franchisees in their recruitment:

• Recruiting has become the top challenge faced by franchisees, which is hindering efforts to execute on operations, menu, and marketing initiatives
• Leaders know they need to help, but are also wary of common employer laws and getting directly involved in hiring processes
• Most careers pages options aren’t well suited to franchise systems. Maps and irrelevant filters create job seeker friction, and backend systems are too complicated for franchisees.
• The majority of franchisors feel they don’t have the technical capacity to solve these challenges themselves, or implement complex vendor systems
• Franchisors want to use their brand power to help drive job applications, but don’t want to lock franchisees in to using an end-to-end system
