Franchises & Multi-Brand Groups
Run recruiting across every location and brand from one account — with office-level branding, isolation, and control, and company-wide visibility for the parent.
You run hiring across dozens of locations, and every office wants to look like its own brand. But the moment you scale, you lose the thread: separate logins, scattered data, no clean way to see who's hiring across the whole group. ATS Mako gives the parent account command of the entire hierarchy while each office keeps its own brand, its own data, and its own setup.
The cost of moving slow.
One brand or one system. Never both.
Most franchise recruiting software forces a trade. Either every location wears the same corporate skin, or you stand up a dozen disconnected tools and lose all visibility. With ATS Mako, each office runs fully branded under a parent account that still governs the whole group.
Data from one office leaking into another.
Independently operated locations need their candidate data walled off, not pooled into one shared bucket. ATS Mako enforces per-office data isolation, so each branded office controls its own pipeline while the parent retains company-wide oversight.
No line of sight across the group.
When every location hires in its own silo, headquarters flies blind. You can't compare offices, spot the hiring gaps, or report up. ATS Mako keeps company-wide visibility and reporting at the parent level, across every brand and location in the hierarchy.
Rolling out a new location takes forever.
Each new office shouldn't mean rebuilding from scratch. ATS Mako's hierarchy lets the parent spin up another independently branded office with its own configuration, fast, without forking into a separate system.
Mixed messaging that muddies every brand.
When candidates get texts and emails that don't match the office they applied to, trust erodes fast. ATS Mako keeps SMS and email branded per office, so every touchpoint reflects the location's own identity, not a generic corporate template.
Compliance risk multiplied across every office.
Each location messaging candidates on its own raises the odds someone misses consent rules or quiet hours. ATS Mako bakes TCPA and CAN-SPAM safeguards into communication across the whole hierarchy, so every branded office stays inside the lines.

What makes ATS Mako franchise recruiting software, not just a multi-location ATS?
A parent account governs many independently branded offices arranged in a hierarchy. Each office gets its own branding, data isolation, and configuration, while the parent keeps company-wide visibility and reporting. That parent-over-branded-offices structure is exactly what franchises and multi-brand groups need.
Can each franchise location keep its own brand?
Yes. Per-office branding is built into the hierarchy. Every office reinforces its own brand across candidate communication, while the parent account still oversees the entire group.
Is candidate data shared across offices, or kept separate?
Kept separate. ATS Mako enforces per-office data isolation, so each independently branded office controls its own candidate data. The parent retains company-wide visibility and reporting without collapsing those walls.
Does headquarters get visibility across all locations?
Yes. While each office runs with its own branding, data isolation, and configuration, the parent account keeps company-wide visibility and reporting across every location and brand in the hierarchy.
Can different brands in the group be configured differently?
They can. Each office carries its own configuration within the parent hierarchy, so a multi-brand group can run distinct setups per brand or location while still being governed from one parent account.
How does SMS and email branding work across multiple locations?
Communication is the core of ATS Mako, and it stays branded per office. Each location's SMS and email reinforce its own brand at every candidate touchpoint, with multi-provider SMS built in, while the parent account still oversees the whole group.
