The Nathan Profiler is a scientific selection system that will help you simplify and speed up your franchisee recruitment process.
You'll instantly have at your fingertips everything you need to know about your candidates, including their financial status, and you'll spend considerably less time on paperwork and administration.
No more looking for lost files, following up candidates for extra information or worrying about whether there was something you missed.
The system provides you with three fully integrated best practice franchisee selection tools that put you in total control of the recruitment process.
| 1 | Information Request | An online application form which gathers detailed personal, career and financial information |
| 2 | Self Assessment Profile | A psycho-social profile which benchmarks candidates on the attributes known to impact on future success |
| 3 | Final Check | A structured interview process which enables you to produce an objective suitability report on each candidate |
The Nathan Profiler is developed from rigorous research by a team of psychologists at the respected Franchise Relationships Institute in Brisbane, Australia. This research was conducted under the leadership of the Institute’s Managing Director Greg Nathan and Associate Professor Chris Jackson from the University of Queensland. (You can request a copy of the Research Report by sending an email to info@franchiserelationships.com).
The research team set out to first identify the attributes that drive franchisee success and then develop a professional, user-friendly method for assessing these. The Nathan Profiler brings together the results of this research in a carefully designed, easy to use online tool.
Unlike the hundreds of generic profiling tools on the market, the Nathan Profiler has been developed for the unique needs of the franchising sector. Traditional personality tests have been found to be poor predictors of business performance because they do not measure the factors that impact on business success. By contrast the Nathan Profiler measures crucial but often overlooked indicators which include Business Acumen, Computer Literacy and Family Support — factors that research has shown make a big difference to franchisee performance.
One of the most significant benefits of the Nathan Profiler is the ease and speed with which important information can be collected from candidates. This keeps your recruitment process moving swiftly and smoothly.
For instance the Information Request collects information commonly included in most application forms such as family situation, work experience, health, reasons for showing an interest in the franchise and a detailed financial capability statement. It then automatically processes and reformats this information into an easy to read report that outlines the candidate’s initial suitability and alerts the franchisor to issues that deserve closer attention. This information is instantly available.
Candidates like to know that you take the franchisee selection process seriously. Using the Nathan Profiler will help your franchise offer stand out as an attractive, professional option. Franchisors using the Nathan Profiler report that they regularly receive positive and complimentary comments from candidates who complete the Profiler’s online questionnaires.
The Nathan Profiler system is reasonably priced to make it affordable to large and small franchise systems. Franchisors pay a yearly fee to have unlimited access to most elements of the system. One of the tools, the Self-Assessment Profile, is provided on a user pays basis. A franchisor fully assessing 75 franchisee candidates a year could expect to pay just over $100 per candidate while saving considerable time and reducing the risk of lost or overlooked information.
The Nathan Profiler will not only reduce the risks of poor franchisee selection, it will help you to build a world-class franchise system.
