Recruitment & Screening Calls for Restaurants & Food Service

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Yes — if those applicants gave express consent to be contacted by phone for hiring purposes. We review your list source and consent records before launch. Bought lists or scraped contacts without clear permission records are flagged and typically declined.","question":"Can I use My AI Call Center to screen applicants from Indeed or my careers page?"},{"answer":"You define the script. Common distillery screens include: shift availability (weekends, holidays, Bourbon Trail peaks), age verification (21+ for production/tasting), TTB basics (bonded area access, record-keeping), physical requirements (lifting, standing), and start-date flexibility. Nothing launches until you approve the script.","question":"What screening questions can the AI ask distillery applicants?"},{"answer":"AI-generated voices are treated as artificial voices under TCPA — prior express consent is required. We honor state quiet hours, AI disclosure on every call, keyword opt-outs (STOP/REVOKE), and DNC requests across all campaigns. Clients are responsible for obtaining appropriate legal guidance before launch.","question":"How does this comply with TCPA for recruitment calls?"},{"answer":"Once you provide the approved list and sign off on the script, campaigns typically launch within 3–5 business days. The first campaign review is free; the full number is known before you approve launch. Speed-to-lead follow-up windows also available for inbound applicant inquiries.","question":"How fast can a screening campaign launch for seasonal hiring?"},{"answer":"We don't source candidates — you provide the list. We run structured screening calls against your approved contacts at 9¢/connected minute with a flat management fee, no placement fees, no per-seat charges. You get dispositioned data and qualified transfers; we don't own the hiring decision.","question":"What's the difference between this and a staffing agency?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Define Your Screening Goal & Criteria","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Tell us the one clear outcome — e.g., 'Confirm shift availability and TTB basics for 50 seasonal tasting room applicants' — we scope the campaign and quote the full number before anything launches."},{"step":"2","title":"Provide Your Approved Applicant List","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"Share your permissioned contact list (job board opt-ins, career page submissions, referral list).

Bonded area access, age verification, and record-keeping basics all matter for audit readiness.
