Recruitment & Screening Calls for Software Development Firms

{"faqs":[{"answer":"","question":"Can AI screening calls actually assess a software developer's technical ability?"},{"answer":"AI-generated voices are treated as artificial voices under the TCPA, so prior express consent is required. We review your list source and consent records before any campaign launches, honor state-specific quiet hours and day restrictions, and provide AI disclosure on every call — candidates can ask if the call is AI-assisted, request a human, or opt out. Keyword opt-outs STOP and REVOKE immediately. We decline bought lists without clear permission records.","question":"How do you handle candidate consent for recruitment calls? We're cautious about TCPA risk."},{"answer":"You approve the escalation path before launch. Hot candidates transfer to your team live, or their outcome lands in your CRM with a follow-up request routed to the right person. Candidates can also ask for a human during the call — that request is honored through your approved escalation path.","question":"What happens when a strong candidate answers and wants to talk to a human right away?"},{"answer":"The first campaign review is free. We start with your goal, review list source and consent records, connect outcomes to your CRM, and you approve the script and escalation path. Nothing launches until you approve. Because the full quote is known before launch, most teams can move from review to live calls quickly — the timeline depends on your list readiness and approval turnaround.","question":"How fast can we get a recruitment campaign running for an open engineering req?"},{"answer":"You buy campaigns that we run for you — no per-seat charges, no platform bill, no minimums you did not choose. Calling starts at 9¢ per connected minute, tiered by volume, and the rate is locked for the campaign. Unlike staffing agencies, we don't source or vet technical skills; we run structured, compliant calls against your approved lists and route every outcome back into your own systems.","question":"Why use a managed calling service instead of buying recruiting software or using a staffing agency?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Campaign review and quote","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Start with the goal — what do you need the call to accomplish?
