JobCannon provides 201 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. Priced per system by assessments, not per applicant (each extra assessment above a plan's monthly allowance is $2): free tier with 5 assessments; Team at $79/mo for 80 assessments a month covering franchisor-side screening or a dozen unit owners; Scale at $199/mo adds the Assessment API to embed the battery in FranConnect or any franchise management platform plus white-label PDFs for franchisee onboarding packets. Compared to FranchiseGrade-style consulting (priced per cohort) or in-house I/O psychologist engagements, JobCannon is structurally cheaper because it is priced per franchise system by assessments rather than per applicant or per cohort. Typical use: 14-minute battery (DISC + Big Five + Values + Conflict Styles) sent after the discovery call and before the FDD review.

What franchise systems get
Need FMS integration or franchisor-side branding?
Tests work instantly — no form needed. For FranConnect / NaranjaCRM API pulls, branded franchisee onboarding packets, or a custom validation study for your system:
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.
Priced per organisation by assessments, not per applicant: each paid plan includes a monthly allowance, and each extra assessment is $2. Free (5 assessments) for testing the workflow. Team at $79/mo for systems with 5-30 active unit owners or one franchisor-side recruiter. Scale at $199/mo for systems running both franchisor-side screening AND unit-level hiring at scale — includes the Assessment API to embed the battery in your own onboarding flow (FranConnect, NaranjaCRM, custom) and store scored results against each applicant. No per-applicant fee.
Specialist franchisee-screening tools and consulting engagements are priced per cohort and embed the personality test inside a broader services bundle. Our equivalents (DISC + Big Five + Values + Conflict Styles) use the same constructs, priced per organisation by assessments: a monthly plan per franchise system rather than a fee per applicant. 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 $79/mo Team plan covers the screening workflow.
