Hiring for ten locations is a different job than hiring for one

A new location posts a crew lead role and a wave of applications arrives within days. Most never answer the phone. The few worth interviewing already applied to the place across the parking lot, and they take whichever owner calls back first.

Then the role turns over and you run it again, at that unit and four others. High turnover, hourly pay, and openings across many locations at once mean a franchise is not filling a job. It is running a machine that has to keep filling the same jobs all year.

Franchise hiring software is the applicant tracking system that runs that machine across every unit. It posts a role to each location, screens the applicants automatically, and routes the qualified ones to the local owner or manager.

The hard part is doing it the same way everywhere without making each owner reinvent hiring, and without paying more every time you open a unit. Many tools charge per location, so the bill climbs as the network grows.

100Hires is built for that pace. The rest of this page walks through how franchise operators use it to reach candidates at every location, screen faster, and let each unit hire on a standard head office sets once.

Knockout questions handle the objective dealbreakers a document will later confirm, and AI Score ranks the rest against the criteria you define. The two run on the same workflow tab. See how knockout questions are set up.

What franchise hiring throws at you, and where 100Hires handles it

Every recurring franchise hiring headache maps to a specific part of the product. Here is the short version of what goes where.

100Hires next to a typical ATS for franchises

Most ATS platforms were built for one head-office role at a time, not a wave of hourly openings spread across independently run units. The gap shows up exactly where franchise hiring hurts.

Where 100Hires fits in your franchise stack

100Hires is the front of your hiring funnel: sourcing, screening, interviewing, and the hire decision. It is not payroll, scheduling, or workforce management, and it does not pretend to be.

It hands off to those tools through Zapier, webhooks, and a REST API once someone is hired.

One honest limit worth knowing up front: if you run several brands as separate accounts, there is no single dashboard that rolls them all into one screen. Within an account you see every location, since locations are just jobs.

Across separate brand accounts, head office sets the standard in each and reviews them one at a time, or pulls the numbers together through the API. If a live cross-brand rollup is a hard requirement, a demo is the place to check the fit.

A few more limits to know. Candidate texting runs through the Twilio integration rather than a built-in number, email sync needs Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 rather than a personal Gmail, and there is no built-in WOTC tax-credit screening or background-check step today.

If any of those are dealbreakers for your stack, a demo is the fastest way to confirm the fit before you commit.
