AI Receptionist Services for Staffing Agencies

{"faqs":[{"answer":"During setup, we configure role-specific screening flows for each of your desks. A light industrial candidate gets questions about shift availability, physical requirements, safety certifications, and transportation, while an office-clerical candidate is asked about software proficiency, typing speed, and relevant experience. The AI uses your hiring criteria per job order, so qualification matches what your recruiters would ask on a first call — and every answer is logged to the candidate record for your team to review.","question":"How does the AI Receptionist handle industry-specific screening questions for light industrial vs. office-clerical roles?"},{"answer":"Yes. The AI Receptionist connects to your existing ATS/CRM through native integrations and API connections, so every qualified conversation, screening answer, and booked interview writes directly back into Bullhorn, TempWorks, or whatever system you run. There's no separate dashboard to maintain and no re-keying of candidate data — your recruiters see the same records they already work in, just with more of them pre-qualified and scheduled.","question":"Can the AI Receptionist work with our current Bullhorn or TempWorks setup without requiring double data entry?"},{"answer":"The AI voice agent handles the full conversation — answering common questions, qualifying, and booking — and if the candidate explicitly requests a human or raises something outside its scope, it captures the details, schedules a callback for the next business morning, and passes full conversation context to your team. The candidate never hits a dead end, and your recruiters start the day with a summarized handoff instead of a cold voicemail.","question":"What happens if a candidate needs to speak with a real recruiter outside of business hours?"},{"answer":"Most staffing agencies go live within 2–3 weeks. Week one covers the lead-flow audit and screening criteria mapping; week two is configuring calendar rules, escalation paths, and ATS integration; week three is a supervised soft launch where we monitor qualification and booking quality before fully opening the flow. Complex multi-desk setups with several specialties can add a week, but you'll have a clear timeline before we start.","question":"How long does it take to launch the AI Receptionist for our staffing desk?"},{"answer":"A basic chatbot answers scripted FAQs and captures a name and email. Worqd's AI Receptionist runs on production multi-agent systems: it holds real voice and text conversations, asks your actual screening questions, handles objections, books interviews directly into your calendar, and escalates to a human with full context when needed. It also works across every inbound channel — job boards, career site, referral forms, and phone — rather than sitting passively on one page waiting for someone to click.","question":"How is Worqd’s AI Receptionist different from a basic chatbot on our career site?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Find the bottleneck","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"We audit your inbound lead flow — career sites, job boards, referrals — to identify where candidates drop off due to slow or missing response."},{"step":"2","title":"Build the plan","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"We configure your AI Receptionist with your hiring criteria, interview questions, calendar rules, and escalation paths — tailored to your desk and specialty."},{"step":"3","title":"Launch and optimize","gradient":"from-green-500 to-emerald-500","description":"Your AI Receptionist goes live, engaging leads in under 60 seconds.

That's time not spent sourcing candidates, screening for fit, or building client relationships that drive repeat job orders.
