Take a Look at How CareerPlug Works

“CareerPlug has dramatically reduced the amount of time required to review applicants, schedule interviews, and hire new team members. We use the calendar feature to schedule interviews throughout our application process. Having the applicant pick their own time really saves a lot of back and forth. The email and text templates ensure that applicants are receiving consistent feedback from us. CareerPlug has turned hiring into one of our core competencies.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Is CareerPlug an ATS (applicant tracking system)?

Yes! CareerPlug is an ATS, a kind of software that helps you attract, evaluate, and hire candidates quickly and easily. 

How is CareerPlug different from a job board?

CareerPlug is an applicant tracking system packed full of features to make your entire hiring process fast and easy – not just the job-posting part. Plus, when you post job using CareerPlug, it automatically gets published to all the major job boards instead of just one. This increases your applicant flow versus posting a job to individual job boards. 

What job boards does CareerPlug automatically post jobs to?

With just one click, CareerPlug publishes your jobs to Indeed, ZipRecruiter, CareerJet, Glassdoor, LinkedIn Job Feed, JobCase, JobInventory, JobRapido, MyJobHelper, WayUp, Adzuna, Talroo, myCNAjobs.com, and Talent.com. CareerPlug also publishes jobs automatically to your own custom careers page.

Why should I use CareerPlug over other applicant tracking systems?

CareerPlug is easy enough for anyone to use. Other applicant tracking systems are made for HR pros, but ours is made for the everyday business owner who has a million different responsibilities to juggle, with hiring being just one of them. But just because CareerPlug is easy to use doesn’t mean it’s not powerful – our software is built on a proven process that’s helped 14,000 small businesses make the right hires for over 15 years. 

Is CareerPlug a good applicant tracking system for franchises?

Yes! CareerPlug has been partnering with leading franchise brands since day one. We know that when an owner buys a franchise, they’re given an operations playbook on how to run the business, but there’s one chapter missing from that playbook: how to hire and develop the right people. CareerPlug has become industry leaders and experts in franchise hiring because we understand the urgent and frequent hiring needs of decentralized businesses. We proudly partner with franchisors to provide a system that can be adopted across an entire franchise network.

Chris Igou

VP of Business Development

Chris accidentally started a 20-year career in franchising when he was 18 years old and took a job painting houses for College Pro Painters. That job turned into the ownership of his first franchise (a house painting franchise). While at Monmouth College in IL, he operated his business, played on the varsity football team, and studied to become a teacher.

The taste of entrepreneurship and desire to coach others led Chris deeper into franchising, working with a few franchise brands helping them grow their businesses. He lived in the Chicagoland area his entire life until recently moving his family to Austin, TX.

In his free time Chris coaches youth sports, especially youth football, and spends as much time as he can with his wife and 2 children.
