Domino’s is a well-known pizza brand, and for individuals seeking employment, understanding the structure of Domino’s career paths is crucial. This article clarifies the distinction between corporate roles and opportunities within independently owned franchise locations. It also outlines the policy for employment agencies and recruiters to ensure a clear understanding of Domino’s hiring practices.
Domino’s Pizza LLC distinguishes itself clearly regarding hiring practices, particularly concerning unsolicited resumes from employment agencies or professional recruiters. The Domino’s Pizza LLC Corporate hiring team explicitly states that they will not accept resumes submitted from any source other than directly from a candidate for a corporate position. This policy is a critical point for agencies to note. Any agency that submits an unsolicited resume for a Corporate position, whether through the Domino’s career site or directly to a corporate employee, acknowledges that Domino’s Pizza LLC will consider the resume as their property. This grants Domino’s Pizza LLC the right to hire the candidate at their discretion without incurring any fee to the agency.
For agencies that have existing fee agreements with Domino’s Pizza LLC and are engaged in a specific search, the protocol is different. These agencies are expected to adhere to the submission process detailed by the Domino’s Corporate recruiter they are partnering with for that particular search. Any agencies interested in becoming a provider of recruiting services to Domino’s Pizza LLC must direct their inquiries to and receive approval from the Domino’s Corporate Director of Global Talent Acquisition. This structured approach ensures that Domino’s corporate recruitment remains organized and compliant with their established partnerships.
It’s also vital to understand that most Domino’s stores operate under a franchise model. The majority of Domino’s stores are owned and operated by independent franchisees, not by Domino’s Pizza LLC, Domino’s Pizza Franchising LLC, or Domino’s Pizza, Inc., collectively referred to as “Domino’s Corporate.” Each franchisee operates as a separate and independent company, distinct from Domino’s Corporate. Crucially, each franchisee is the sole employer for individuals working in their Domino’s stores.
Therefore, depending on the specific store location, the job you apply for may be at a store owned and operated by an independent franchisee, rather than directly by Domino’s Corporate. Each independent franchisee and their respective store is unique. Each franchisee is independently responsible for all employment-related matters within their stores. This encompasses all terms and conditions of employment for their employees, including hiring, termination, disciplinary actions, supervision, compensation, benefits, staffing, and scheduling.
If you are hired to work at a franchisee’s store, it is important to recognize that the independent franchisee will be your sole employer. You will not be considered an employee of Domino’s Corporate. For any questions or if you require assistance with the application process at a franchisee’s store, you should directly contact that franchisee. Understanding this distinction is key for anyone considering a career at Domino’s, ensuring applicants direct their inquiries and applications appropriately, whether for corporate positions or franchise store roles.
