Why Martial Arts Dojos Choose Recruitment & Screening Calls

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Yes. The screening script is custom-approved by you before launch. We can verify any certification, rank, or credential you specify — the AI assistant follows your exact qualification criteria and logs the candidate's responses in the outcome report.","question":"Can the screening calls verify specific belt ranks and certifications like IBJJF or Kukkiwon?"},{"answer":"Outcomes, bookings, and follow-up requests route back into the CRM and scheduling tools you already run. Qualified candidates land in your hiring pipeline with disposition codes and per-call notes — no new platform to learn.","question":"How does this work with our existing dojo management software like Zen Planner or MemberAssist?"},{"answer":"Every call includes AI disclosure. Recipients can ask if the call is AI-assisted, request a human, or opt out at any time.
