Maintaining a consistent franchise hiring experience
As a franchise partner of European Wax Center, Hireology powers the hiring efforts for franchisee owners across the U.S.
Here are the results they’ve seen by building a consistent hiring process that allows their team to attract, hire and onboard top local talent across multiple locations.
The power of the hiring process
Tanner Holmes is a growing franchisee for European Wax Center – a well-known wellness center with locations across northern Illinois. Working together since 2017, Hireology helped Tanner pull together a hiring process that gives him visibility into each location while freeing up his time and focus to work on his business instead of managing the tedious administrative tasks associated with hiring and onboarding.
Launching a Centralized Hiring Platform
After partnering with Hireology, Tanner was able to launch a true hiring process across his locations. This was a huge improvement over the manual tracking spreadsheet he used previously to staff up each location.

Right before Hireology we were using a Google spreadsheet to track our hires. With multiple locations tracked in Google drive and multiple versions floating around it was hard to keep candidates from falling through the cracks.

Seeing Results
Being on the platform for just over a year doesn’t mean Tanner’s European Wax Centers aren’t seeing great people results. By implementing the Hireology process, his teams are more organized, with significantly more visibility and transparency shown to the people process. One of the most significant value Hireology delivers is organization and time.
Central Transparency
“Being able to follow up across 11 locations and my management team is considerably easier. We’ve noticed that we’re getting a lot of repeat applicants – and managing who they are and when they are interviewed was a challenge before. Hireology changed this aspect of the process for us.”
Candidate Sourcing
By taking the time out of the mundane hiring activities and tracking efforts, Tanner’s team is able to be more strategic on the hiring front. The result was investing in the overall vision and has led to an increase in overall talent quality across all locations. “Our quality has changed in terms of candidates. We’re getting better candidates more quickly. Posting across job boards has helped our teams stay organized and ensure we’re not competing against ourselves which was happening before. We’re now spending less on job boards which is a huge win for us as an organization.
Hireology SmartPost
European Wax Center has also been leveraging Hireology’s SmartPost to reach applicants in a more effective way than traditional job boards.
For roughly the same investment as a one-off job board, Hireology programmatically reaches across top job board and social networks to ensure a diversified sourcing strategy. “We love the SmartPost. It’s just about the only premium we use for sourcing. We’ve had so much success and love knowing we’re reaching so much more applicants than we would by putting all of our funds into a single job board purchase.”
Insights
To track success, European Wax Center uses Insights – Hireology’s analytics platform to get a full picture of hiring activity across all locations. “We’ve gotten very proactive with Insights. For us, seeing ANY data was helpful compared to our process before. The actionable steps and transparency help us make decisions to improve our process.”

The #1 benefit I see in Hireology is using it as an organizational tool. For business owners, it’s way of micro-managing without managing at all. At any time, I can access the information I want and see which locations are performing, see the time to hire and resume review percentage. Access to this information was not available before. This is leading to a significant increase in interviews and hires, and being able to follow up with applicants directly in Hireology instead of my inbox is so great.
