“CareerPlug has given our centers a powerful hiring tool to help build out their teams. Staffing is always a challenge in our industry and having a resource like CareerPlug on our side has definitely made hiring more efficient and more effective. We have seen a 480% increase in the number of job applicants across our entire network.”

Andy Hardy

Marketing Manager, Discovery Point Franchising

“Many of the dealers I work with were struggling recruiting technicians and installers until BrandSource partnered with CareerPlug. CareerPlug has simplified the recruitment and onboarding process for many of our members. A one-stop solution that hits all prominent job boards for one small annual fee. New candidate resumes have never been better thanks to CareerPlug.”

Paul MacDonald

Service Lead, BrandSource

“Our partnership with CareerPlug has been vital to our success in 2021 and 2022. In a challenging time with finding quality candidates our organization has done well because of the support and insight from the CareerPlug experts. We were on a pilot program with Midas and after trying three other options we decided to partner long term with CareerPlug, and we are happy with our decision.”

Matt Nevala

VP Sales & Operations

“CareerPlug has helped our owners streamline their hiring process, and increase exposure in the marketplace. Many of our owners struggled to post enough jobs that we would gain exposure on Google and CareerPlug makes this manageable. Many of our owners rave about the success they have had since we implemented CareerPlug. They also rave about the ease of use – which is always important when a Franchisor is considering implementing another tool.”

Chris Igou

VP of Business Development

Chris accidentally started a 20-year career in franchising when he was 18 years old and took a job painting houses for College Pro Painters. That job turned into the ownership of his first franchise (a house painting franchise). While at Monmouth College in IL, he operated his business, played on the varsity football team, and studied to become a teacher.

The taste of entrepreneurship and desire to coach others led Chris deeper into franchising, working with a few franchise brands helping them grow their businesses. He lived in the Chicagoland area his entire life until recently moving his family to Austin, TX.

In his free time Chris coaches youth sports, especially youth football, and spends as much time as he can with his wife and 2 children.
