Cooper for franchise and multi-location operations
franchise recruiting software.Every applicant screened to the standard, for every location.
Cooper gives franchise networks one ATS and AI screening workflow for every location, while franchisees keep the local context and the final hiring decision.
Trusted by teams hiring across franchise locations
Teams in franchise and multi-location operations use Cooper to keep the recruiting pipeline moving across single and multi-location operations.
THE FRANCHISE AND MULTI-LOCATION OPERATIONS HIRING CHALLENGE
Franchise hiring breaks when every location solves the same staffing problem alone.
The brand needs consistency; locations need flexibility
Central teams want a repeatable standard while franchisees need to hire for their local labour market, hours and team culture.
Opening plans create hiring waves
New units, ownership changes and peak seasons can create the same roles across many locations at once.
Candidates experience every location differently
When every store responds differently, a strong applicant can be lost before the local manager ever sees the application.
THE PLATFORM
A franchise ATS with an AI screening team built in
Scout keeps the brand's hiring standard consistent. Robin interviews candidates for the local context, and each franchisee receives a clear summary without rebuilding the process from scratch.
Central standard. Local decision.
Give every location the same strong first step, then let the people who run the unit decide who belongs on the team.
- Scout checks the shared brand and role criteria
- Robin captures local availability and team context
- Franchisees receive a clear, comparable candidate summary
- Coo supports sourcing for new openings and local gaps
