Their Challenge

  • Eckels, like many franchisees, needed a way to find more candidates to help his business grow. Eckels was spending far too much time going through resumes to find candidates.
  • He needed tools to effectively evaluate applicants to find the best candidates. Eckels was also interested in building a talent pipeline as well, to avoid staffing issues.
  • Having a talent pipeline would allow Eckels to replace staff easily and add staff when he was ready to grow. Overall, Eckels wanted to implement a consistent process to create better hiring decisions.
