Why Trade School (Welding/Electrical/Plumbing)s Choose Recruitment & Screening Calls

{"faqs":[{"answer":"We run a structured campaign against your approved, permissioned, or reviewed applicant list with one clear goal: confirm interest and qualify candidates. Each call follows a script, disclosure, and escalation path you approve before launch, and outcomes come back as named disposition codes — confirmed, qualified, opted out, no answer — with per-call notes and follow-up requests routed to your team.","question":"How do Recruitment & Screening calls work for a welding school's applicant list?"},{"answer":"Calls run only inside approved calling windows that respect state-specific quiet hours and day restrictions. After-hours leads are queued and called first thing the next business day, so no inquiry sits unanswered — but nothing dials outside the windows you approve.","question":"Can you call prospects who inquired after hours or on weekends?"},{"answer":"Yes — AI-generated voices are treated as artificial voices under the TCPA, so prior express consent is required, and we check your list source and consent records before any campaign launches. Every call includes AI disclosure, recipients can ask if the call is AI-assisted, request a human, or opt out, and DNC requests are respected across all campaigns and carried into your DNC records. We recommend obtaining appropriate legal guidance before launch since requirements vary by location and contact type.","question":"Are AI recruitment calls compliant with TCPA rules for trade schools?"},{"answer":"It starts with a free campaign review where we scope the goal and quote the full campaign. Then comes the list and consent review, connecting outcomes to your CRM and scheduling tools, and script approval — nothing launches until you sign off. Most schools can move from review to launch once their list and consent records check out.","question":"How quickly can a screening campaign launch for our next cohort?"},{"answer":"You buy campaigns that we run for you — a managed service, not software your team has to learn or staff you have to hire. There are no per-seat charges or platform bill, pricing starts at 9¢ per connected minute with the rate locked for the campaign, and we handle list review, compliance, monitoring, and outcome routing. We also tell you plainly if your list will not support the campaign, before you spend anything.","question":"Why use a managed calling service instead of hiring more admissions staff or buying dialer software?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Campaign Review","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Start with the goal — what does the call need to accomplish?
