For Staffing Agencies

AI Receptionist forStaffing Agencies

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 scheduled — and neither one hears voicemail. 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 pushes 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 happens automatically, on the first call, day or night.

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 scheduled 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?

Whatever your desk runs on — Bullhorn, Avionté, JobDiva, TempWorks — is where her work lands: new orders as records, screened applicants with their answers attached, interviews 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.
