Why Pool Cleaning & Maintenance Companies Choose Recruitment & Screening Calls

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Yes — within a structured script you approve. Recruitment & Screening campaigns are scoped around one clear outcome, and the script can confirm certifications, availability, and interest before a candidate ever reaches your calendar. You approve the script, disclosure, and escalation path before launch, and nothing goes live without your sign-off.","question":"Can the AI screen applicants for things like CPO certification availability?"},{"answer":"We review every list's source and consent records before launch. Applicants who submitted their information to you directly usually support a campaign, but we check the consent basis first. If a list won't support the campaign — like bought lists without clear permission records — we tell you plainly before you spend anything.","question":"We only have a list of applicants who filled out our online form — is that okay to call?"},{"answer":"AI-generated voices are treated as artificial voices under the TCPA, which requires prior express consent. We honor state-specific quiet hours and day restrictions, disclose AI on every call, and log keyword opt-outs that STOP and REVOKE immediately. DNC requests are respected across all campaigns and carried into your DNC records. Requirements vary by location and contact type, so we recommend legal guidance before launch.","question":"How do you handle TCPA and quiet hours when calling job applicants?"},{"answer":"It starts with a free campaign review where we define the goal and quote the full campaign. Then comes list and consent review, connecting outcomes to your CRM, and your approval of the script and escalation path. Most of the timeline depends on how quickly your list and approvals come together — but nothing launches until you approve, and you know the full cost before that point.","question":"How fast can a screening campaign be running for our hiring push?"},{"answer":"You can — but your office is already stretched across dispatch and customer communication, and screening calls are exactly the work that falls behind during a hiring push. With My AI Call Center, you buy a managed campaign with a locked rate from 9¢ per connected minute, no per-seat charges or platform bill, and every outcome dispositioned and routed back to your team.
