Use voice agents to screen and schedule candidates
A staffing firm used a voice agent to reach candidates, ask screening questions, and book recruiter interviews.
- What they did
- A finance and accounting staffing firm used a custom voice agent to contact candidates and handle early screening. The agent either called people or invited them to respond, then asked qualifying questions, scored the answers, and set up interviews with a human recruiter. The recruiter received a summary after each conversation.
- How it went
- The firm said it reached 2,000 candidates in seven days, compared with four weeks before. It also reported 455 conversations, 10 placements, and $215,000 in extra revenue. Those figures were not independently verified.
- Tips
- Use a human review step before any outreach goes out, and have the agent pause before booking interviews. Treat vendor-reported performance claims as examples, not guarantees.

Help me build a candidate-screening agent for [role]. Use [resume list / ATS export / spreadsheet] to contact candidates by [call or message] and ask these screening questions: [question 1], [question 2], [question 3]. Score each response against these criteria: [criteria]. Before any outreach is sent, show me the draft message or call flow and the first batch of candidates, then wait for my approval. After each conversation, save the answers, assign a fit score, and draft a short summary for a human recruiter. Stop before any interview is booked until I approve the next step. When finished, give me a ranked list of candidates with notes and scores.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
