Recruitment & Screening Calls Solutions for Barbershops

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Yes. Recruitment & Screening campaigns are scoped around one clear outcome you define during the free campaign review — such as confirming interest and gathering key qualification details from your applicant list. We build the screening script with you, including disclosure, opt-out handling, and escalation path, and nothing launches until you approve it.","question":"Can the AI screen barber applicants for things like license status, booth rental vs. commission preference, and years of experience?"},{"answer":"We only run campaigns against approved, permissioned, or reviewed contact lists, and we check list source and consent records before any campaign launches — bought lists without clear permission records are flagged and in most cases declined. AI-generated voices are treated as artificial voices under the TCPA, so prior express consent is required, state-specific quiet hours and restrictions are honored, and every call includes AI disclosure with immediate keyword opt-outs (STOP and REVOKE) logged and honored.","question":"How do you make sure the calls are legal and my shop doesn't get in trouble for robocalls?"},{"answer":"You choose the escalation path when we build the script. Hot candidates can transfer live to you or a team member, or land in the CRM and scheduling tools you already run as a follow-up request. Either way, no promising applicant waits on a callback you never get around to making.","question":"What happens when a strong candidate answers and my shop is busy cutting hair?"},{"answer":"It starts with a free campaign review where we scope your goal, review your list and consent records, and quote the whole campaign. Then you approve the script and escalation path, and calls launch in your approved windows. Most of the timeline depends on your list readiness — if your consent records are in order, campaigns move quickly, and we tell you plainly if the list won't support the campaign before you spend anything.","question":"How fast can a recruitment campaign be running for my barbershop?"},{"answer":"This is a managed service, not software — you buy campaigns that we run for you, with no platform bill, no per-seat charges, and no minimums you didn't choose. Calling starts at 9¢ per connected minute, tiered by volume, with the rate locked before launch. Unlike one-way texts, screening calls confirm interest conversationally, handle opt-outs immediately, and transfer hot candidates to your team live — with a named outcome report showing what actually happened.","question":"How is this different from just using a barbershop management software with automated texting?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Plan My Campaign","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Tell us your goal — which applicants need calling and what the call must accomplish.
