At 5:47am a client calls: two workers didn't show. At 5:52 a candidate calls about the forklift posting. Scarlett answers both — the no-show scramble gets flagged and routed to your on-call recruiter, the candidate gets screened and an interview requested. Hear how she handles both. She's live on the demo line; call as either side of your desk.

Urgent staffing fill request

0:54

Scarlett takes a same-day fill request, captures role details, pay, shift requirements, and routes the urgent order to recruiters.

Read sample transcript

Client: We need five warehouse associates for tomorrow's 6 AM shift. Can someone call me back?

Scarlett: Absolutely. I can take the fill request now and route it to the recruiter on duty.

Client: Aurora warehouse, 6 to 2:30, nineteen dollars an hour, must be able to lift fifty pounds.

Scarlett: I marked this urgent and sent the order summary to your staffing team with the call-back details.

The 6am no-show call decides who keeps the account

Staffing loses accounts in the gap between a client's panic and your callback. When a shift comes up short at dawn and the line just rings, the client dials the next agency — and next week's order goes there too. Candidates are just as impatient: an applicant who can't reach a recruiter today interviews with a competitor tomorrow, because they applied everywhere.

Scarlett makes both sides feel answered instantly, and gets the details to a recruiter who can act.

What Scarlett Does

Client side, candidate side — one desk

Takes the job order like a recruiter would

Role, headcount, shift, required certs, pay rate, start date, site contact — Scarlett writes the client's order down completely and routes it to your team, so fill work starts on facts instead of a callback loop.

Screens applicants on the first call

Work-history basics, certifications and licenses, shift availability, transportation, pay expectations — she runs the same first-pass questions your recruiters ask, so interview time goes to candidates who clear the bar.

Handles the no-show scramble

A short shift at dawn is a fire alarm, not a message. Scarlett tags it urgent, captures which site and how many heads, and triggers your scramble protocol — waking the on-call recruiter or texting the redeployment list, whatever your playbook says.

Runs the scheduling treadmill

Interview slots, onboarding appointments, availability check-ins, next-day shift confirmations — the phone-tag work that eats recruiter hours can be handled on the first call, day or night, for your team to confirm.

FAQ

What staffing-firm owners ask

What does an AI receptionist mean for a staffing firm?

One front desk covering a two-sided phone. Clients placing orders get a complete intake and fast routing; applicants get screened and booked or requested instead of shuffled to voicemail. Your recruiters spend their day placing people, not playing operator between the two.

How does she know if it's a client or a candidate calling?

She asks and adapts within the first exchange. A caller describing an open shift gets the order-intake track — headcount, certs, pay, start date. A caller asking about the warehouse posting gets screening questions. Repeat clients and returning workers can be recognized and fast-tracked by your rules.

What happens when a client calls about a no-show?

It jumps the queue. She marks the request urgent, collects the site, shift, and how many replacements are needed, and fires your escalation — the on-call recruiter's cell, a text blast to bench candidates, or both. The client hangs up knowing the scramble already started.

Does she feed Bullhorn?

In a custom build, once access is scoped and tested, she can deliver into what your desk runs on — Bullhorn, Avionté, JobDiva, TempWorks — new orders as records, screened applicants with their answers attached, interviews booked or requested on the recruiter's calendar. No transcribing voicemails into the ATS at 8am.

How can I audition her?

Call (720) 770-2664 twice. First as an ops manager who needs four packers for tonight's shift; then as a CNA asking about weekend work. If she switches gears cleanly, she'll handle your Monday mornings.

What does a build cost for an agency?

It tracks the complexity of your desk: verticals served, screening depth, escalation rules, ATS integration. Each build is scoped and quoted as its own project — the pricing guide further down shows the typical brackets.
