Why Executive Search Firms Choose Speed-to-Lead Follow-Up Calls

{"faqs":[{"answer":"New leads are called within minutes inside your approved calling windows. Leads that arrive after hours are queued and called first thing the next business day, so no candidate inquiry sits overnight without a structured follow-up.","question":"How fast can speed-to-lead calls respond to new executive candidate inquiries?"},{"answer":"Every campaign runs only against approved, permissioned, or reviewed contact lists, and the list source and consent records are checked before launch. The script, disclosure, opt-out handling, and escalation path all require your approval before anything launches. Recipients can ask if the call is AI-assisted, request a human, or opt out at any time.","question":"Can the AI calls handle confidential C-suite searches without damaging our firm's reputation?"},{"answer":"Calling starts at 9¢ per connected minute, tiered by volume, and the rate is agreed before launch and locked for the campaign. Most campaigns add a one-time setup and a flat monthly management fee, both quoted before launch. There are no per-seat charges, no platform bill, and no minimums you didn't choose. The first campaign review is free.","question":"What does it cost to run speed-to-lead follow-up campaigns for our recruiting firm?"},{"answer":"Outcomes, bookings, and follow-up requests route back into the CRM and scheduling tools you already run. Hot leads transfer to your team live or land in your CRM, and you receive a dispositioned contact list, outcome counts, routed follow-ups, a completion and coverage report, and opt-out and DNC logs.","question":"How do call outcomes get back into our ATS or CRM?"},{"answer":"This is a done-for-you managed service, not software you license and staff. You buy campaigns that we run, each scoped around one clear goal and quoted before launch. We handle list and consent review, scripting, compliance, and monitoring — and we report what actually happened, never inventing metrics. If your list won't support the campaign, we tell you plainly before you spend anything.","question":"How is this different from hiring more researchers or using dialer software?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Free Campaign Review","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Start with one question: what do you need the call to accomplish?
