Worqd's AI SDR and AI voice agents answer, qualify, and book the moment interest arrives — under 60 seconds, 24/7, including after-hours and weekends. Candidates get screened against your rules and booked straight onto your recruiters' calendars while intent is highest, and calls can be handed to a real person with full context so no recruiter re-asks questions the candidate already answered. That speed compounds into better fill rates, faster redeployment of your existing candidate bench, and fewer reqs lost to the agency that called back first.","proof_point":"Unfilled positions cost clients $98 per day — every hour an inquiry sits unanswered is margin walking out the door."},{"icon":"Bot","title":"70–Lower Cost Per Qualified Conversation","gradient":"from-blue-500 to-purple-500","description":"Scaling intake usually means hiring more SDRs and recruiters, then training them, then covering shifts, nights, and weekends. Worqd's AI SDRs deliver a claimed 4–7x conversion lift over unmanaged follow-up at 70–lower cost per qualified conversation versus a traditional SDR team — no hiring, no training, no shift coverage. Your recruiters only see candidates who are already qualified and ready to talk, so their hours go to closing placements and negotiating bill rates instead of wading through unqualified applications.","proof_point":"Claimed 4–7x conversion lift over unmanaged follow-up at 70–lower cost per qualified conversation versus a traditional SDR team."},{"icon":"Zap","title":"Owned Channel Growth","gradient":"from-cyan-400 to-purple-400","description":"Agencies that rely on job boards as rented channels are competing on the same candidates as everyone else. Growth agencies run top-three sourcing mixes made entirely of owned channels — 50% of them, versus just 27% of flat or slow-growth agencies, while job boards appear in the top three for 73% of flat-growth agencies but only 44% of growth agencies. Worqd builds your owned channels — paid ads, SEO, local SEO, and targeted outreach — then converts that demand instantly with AI follow-up, so the leads you pay for actually become booked calls instead of sitting in a queue.","proof_point":"50% of growth agencies run a top-three sourcing mix made entirely of owned channels vs. 27% of flat or slow-growth agencies."}],"features":["AI SDR & AI voice agents answer, qualify, and book inquiries in under 60 seconds, 24/7","Qualified conversations handed to real recruiters with full context using your calendar and rules","Pipeline Recovery reactivates existing CRM contacts into booked calls — pay only for conversations returned","AI Workflow & Back-Office Automation handles lead qualification, support, after-hours calls, document processing, onboarding","AI Creative Lab produces UGC-style video ads and static creative at media-buying speed with scripts, hooks, CTAs","AI Search Visibility (AEO/GEO) gets brands cited inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude, Copilot"],"headline":"Turn Every Inquiry Into a Booked Call — Even at 2 AM","problems":[{"icon":"PhoneMissed","stat":"$98/day","color":"from-red-500 to-pink-500","title":"After-Hours Candidate and Client Calls Go Cold — While Unfilled Orders Cost Clients $98 Per Day","description":"Staffing runs on speed. When a client calls about a temp-to-hire order at 7pm or a candidate applies on a Sunday, whoever responds first usually wins the placement. Yet most agencies lose these inquiries to voicemail and Monday-morning backlogs — while unfilled positions cost clients $98 per day, pressure that pushes them toward faster-responding competitors. Overflow calls during peak requisition volume slip through the same crack. Every missed after-hours inquiry is a direct hit to your fill rate and your redeployment rate, because the candidate you didn't answer in under an hour was talking to two other agencies at the same time."},{"icon":"AlertTriangle","stat":"85%","color":"from-orange-500 to-yellow-500","title":"85% of Applicants Never Get Evaluated — Qualified Candidates Slip Through While Time-to-Fill Balloons","description":"High-volume intake is where staffing margins go to die. When a job posting draws hundreds of applicants, recruiters triage by gut and recency — and 85% of applicants never get evaluated at all. That means your best direct-sourcing candidates, the ones who would have lifted your fill rate and cut time-to-fill, are buried under unqualified volume. Meanwhile, recruiters spend hours screening candidates who never matched the req in the first place, dragging down gross margin per hour worked and pushing bill-rate negotiations to the back burner. The bottleneck isn't demand — it's the qualification step between 'applied' and 'talked to a recruiter.'"},{"icon":"TrendingUp","stat":"56%","color":"from-yellow-500 to-green-500","title":"No AI in Your Process? Agencies Without It Contracted at 56% in 2025","description":"The 2026 State of Staffing Benchmarking Report makes the operational maturity gap impossible to ignore: 42% of staffing agencies lost revenue in 2025, and among agencies using no AI in any process, 56% contracted. Heavy AI users saw contraction drop to 31%. Growth agencies also scored 4.56 on the seven-point operational maturity scale versus 3.56 for contracting agencies. The pattern is clear — the agencies winning right now are the ones that automated lead response, candidate qualification, and follow-up first. Every month without fast, consistent follow-up widens the gap between your fill rate and theirs."}],"quickWins":["Turn on after-hours and overflow call handling this week — Worqd's AI voice agent answers, qualifies, and books weekend and evening inquiries in under 60 seconds, so urgent reqs stop going to voicemail.","Reactivate your existing candidate database first — pipeline recovery works with your current CRM, no platform switch, and you only pay for the conversations that come back."],"subheadline":"Worqd's AI SDR and voice agents qualify leads in under 60 seconds, 24/7, so your recruiters only talk to candidates and clients ready to move forward.","problemTitle":"The Hidden Costs Killing Staffing Agency Growth","testimonials":[{"quote":"We were drowning in applications — recruiters spent most of the day just sorting who was worth calling.
