Screen before you sign
DISC, Big Five Conscientiousness, Values, Grit-style motivation. Same constructs specialist screeners charge $200 per applicant for. Free for everyone — paid only when you need the system dashboard.
JobCannon provides 57 validated assessments for franchise systems running franchisee selection and unit-level hiring. The franchise-relevant battery: DISC for operator vs builder behavioural fit, Big Five Conscientiousness for manual-following prediction, Values for territory-flipper detection, SDT Motivation for year-2 retention signal, Conflict Styles for franchisee-corporate dynamics, EQ for unit-level leadership. Flat-per-system pricing: free Starter with 5 invites; Team at $79/mo for 100 invites covering franchisor-side screening or a dozen unit owners; Business at $199/mo adds a read-only API for FranConnect or any franchise management platform plus white-label PDFs for franchisee onboarding packets. Compared to FranchiseGrade-style consulting ($5K-$25K per cohort) or in-house I/O psychologist engagements, JobCannon is structurally cheaper because we monetise the consumer tier, not the franchisor. Typical use: 15-minute battery (DISC + Big Five + Values + Conflict Styles) sent after the discovery call and before the FDD review.
Starter (free, 5 invites) for testing the screening workflow. Team ($79/mo, 100 invites) for an active franchisor-side recruiter or unit-owner cohort. Business ($199/mo) when you run both franchisor screening AND unit-level hiring at scale.

Yes — franchisor-side screening of prospective franchisees is a permitted use of personality assessment, distinct from employment hiring and not subject to the same EEOC framework (franchisees are business owners, not employees). That said, document your reasoning, apply the criteria consistently across all candidates, and treat results as one input alongside financial qualification, prior business experience, and FDD-disclosure conversations. If a state franchise regulator (CA DFPI, NY DOS, MN, MD, WA) asks about your selection criteria, you want a clean record of the framework.
The franchise-success literature converges on a narrow profile: high Big Five Conscientiousness (will follow the operating manual), moderate-to-high Openness (will adapt to local conditions without going off-brand), high Grit / Self-Direction (will push through year 2 when the honeymoon ends), and a DISC profile that matches the operating model (high-D for cold-territory builders, high-S high-C for established-area operators). High-Openness low-Conscientiousness candidates are the structural risk pattern — they will deviate from the system and underperform.
Most franchise systems run two assessment loops: one franchisor-side to screen prospective franchisees, and one unit-side to help owners hire crew, shift leads, and assistant managers. The unit-side battery is short (DISC + Conflict Styles + Values, 10 minutes) and franchisor-light — you give your unit owners a magic-link template, and they invite candidates from their dashboard without involving corporate.
Yes — the dealer-acquisition use case is structurally identical to franchisee screening. Several of our users are franchise-adjacent: dealer networks for home-improvement products, multi-level distributor lines, licensed-territory operators. DISC + Big Five + Values is the battery that surfaces whether a dealer applicant is in it for the territory or for the resale flip.
Flat per organisation, not per applicant. Starter (free, 5 invites) for testing the workflow. Team at $79/mo for systems with 5-30 active unit owners or one franchisor-side recruiter. Business at $199/mo for systems running both franchisor-side screening AND unit-level hiring at scale — includes a read-only API to feed results into your franchisee management platform (FranConnect, NaranjaCRM, custom). No per-applicant fees regardless of volume.
Specialist franchisee-screening tools and consulting engagements typically run $5K-$25K per cohort and embed the personality test inside a broader services bundle. Our equivalents (DISC + Big Five + Values + Conflict Styles) use the same constructs at flat-per-org pricing because we monetise the consumer tier, not the franchisor. The trade-off: we do not provide consultant-led territory-validation studies or franchisee mentorship programs. For most growing franchise systems under 100 units, the free assessments plus the $79/mo Team plan covers the screening workflow.
