Happy Calls
An AI voice agent that pre-qualifies recruitment candidates around the clock.
From 48–72 hours down to under 2 minutes.
Per recruiter, reinvested into closing high-fit candidates.
More qualified candidates reaching the shortlist stage each week.
Vs. the previous fully-manual screening process.
The client problem
- 1Recruiters were spending 60–70% of their week on first-touch calls — most of which never progressed past basic qualification.
- 2High candidate volume (300+ new applicants weekly) meant 48–72hr response times, and the best candidates were lost to competitors who replied first.
- 3There was no consistent scoring framework — every recruiter qualified candidates differently, making downstream reporting unreliable.
Our solution
Built an AI voice agent that calls every new applicant within 90 seconds of application, conducts a structured 6–8 minute screening interview, and produces a scored summary with audio transcript.
Designed a recruiter dashboard that surfaces only the top-scoring candidates with one-click handoff to the human recruiter for the next stage.
Integrated with the existing ATS so qualified candidates land in the right pipeline stage automatically with all call data attached.
