We didn't just need more applicants—we needed better ones. And we needed a way to make hiring easier for every franchisee.

The Challenge

Pizza Factory needed a solution that would work across 110+ franchise locations, including in rural markets where finding quality candidates is especially difficult.

Before StaffedUp, they struggled with:

  • 1

    A limited pool of qualified candidates in rural markets

  • 2

    Time-consuming application review and scheduling

  • 3

    Lack of a modern, easy-to-use system for franchisees

  • 4

    Difficulty attracting high-quality candidates, not
    just nearby ones

Why Other Hiring Tools Fell Flat

Tedious Posting

Job posting was tedious and took too long.

Volume Mismatch

Applicant volume didn't match local hiring needs.

Cost Misalignment

Cost per hire didn't align with store-level hiring goals.

No Consistent Solution

Franchisees were left on their own without support.

"We knew we needed a more effective system, but nothing felt designed for the realities of franchise hiring."

How StaffedUp Became the
Franchise-Wide Solution

StaffedUp delivered the consistency, customization,
and quality that Pizza Factory needed system-wide.

Customized job descriptions built
for each location

Targeted job distribution across multiple boards—not just one

Easy-to-use interview scheduling and visibility tools

A growing applicant database, helping new stores launch faster

Stores are staffed faster, with better candidates, and way less time spent digging through applications.

Tangible Results
That Franchisees Feel

Since switching to StaffedUp,
Pizza Factory has seen major improvements across the board

Time-to-hire improved by 2–3x

90% less time spent on hiring tasks

Higher quality candidates, fewer no-shows

More stores fully staffed

StaffedUp is the first hiring resource we've approved system-wide, and will continue to be our go-to recommendation for all new and existing
franchisees as we scale.

  • What is the WOTC (Work Opportunity Tax Credit)?

    WOTC (Work Opportunity Tax Credit) is a federal tax credit available to business employers, both large and small. The credits are designed to offset Federal income tax liabilities. When the WOTC program is executed the right way, employers can capture enough tax credits to significantly reduce, or even eliminate, their Federal income tax liabilities. (And if your business was formed using a flow-through-entity, like a S-corp or LLC, then the credits could flow-through to the owner’s K-1).

  • How can WOTC impact my business?

    Executing the WOTC program is simple and easy with the right provider. We’ll screen your applicants to determine if they satisfy one of nine qualifying criteria. If so, our team of tax credit experts work with specific government agencies, behind the scenes, to capture the tax credits for you. Once captured, tax credits can be used to eliminate Federal income tax liabilities and thus improve cash flow for stakeholders and the business.

  • DID WE JUST BECOME BEST FRIENDS?

    Duh! We built this for you, because we are you! Your success in hiring is the only thing we care about. Anything you need, any time, we're always here, we'll always listen!
