The Problem
The screening bottleneck that costs you placements every week
Applications arrive faster than your team can call them back. The ones you don't reach first go to your competitor's pipeline.
First-round screening is the same 5 questions every time — but it takes a human caller 8–12 minutes per candidate, all day, every day.
Language is a hard barrier. A team that only speaks standard Hindi loses Bihar and UP workers who speak Bhojpuri or Maithili.

“We got 150–200 calls a day after the TV feature. We had 8 people. It was humanly impossible to keep up. Half the candidates were gone by the time we called them back.”

What You've Already Tried
What most hiring agencies try first
A team of callers doing first-round screening manually — expensive, inconsistent, and still can't keep up with volume spikes.
ATS-based filtering that screens resumes but misses the candidates who apply by phone or WhatsApp.
Outsourced calling teams with high attrition — training costs repeat every 3 months.
Blue-collar hiring platforms are seeing application volume they can't manually process.
Staffing platforms in logistics, construction, and manufacturing report 3–5× growth in inbound applications since 2024 — driven by job portal integrations and social media outreach. The bottleneck has shifted from sourcing to screening. Platforms that automate first-round qualification fill roles 4× faster than those still using manual calling teams. Language handling is the differentiator — platforms that screen in regional languages (Bhojpuri, Maithili, Tamil) access candidate pools their competitors can't reach.

What We Build
First-round screening at scale. Every candidate. Any language.
Calls every applicant within minutes — not hours.
The moment an application comes in — from a job portal, WhatsApp, or inbound call — the AI calls the candidate within minutes. Greets them in their language (Hindi, Bhojpuri, Marathi, Tamil, or English). Runs your first-round qualification questions naturally, not like a form being read aloud. Candidates who've applied to 5 other jobs answer this one because it doesn't sound like a robocall.
Runs your exact screening questions in their language.
Skill verification, work experience, wage expectation, location, availability, documentation status — whatever your standard screen requires. The AI handles objections and follow-up probes the same way your best caller would. Responses are captured in structured format. The recording is saved for compliance. Your team never needs to re-do a call they've already done.
Hands your team only the candidates worth talking to.
Qualified candidates are flagged and sent to your team with a full summary: name, contact, qualification result, recording link. Unqualified candidates receive a polite closure. Your callers open their CRM every morning to a sorted pipeline — not a list of 200 names to work through. They start from 'qualified' — not from scratch.
The Process
From first call to live. One week.
We handle the prompts, the telephony, and the integrations. You just answer the qualified pings.
Day 1 — We run through your current screening questions, disqualification criteria, language requirements, and CRM structure. 45 minutes. We build the qualification script from your exact process.
Your time: 45 minutes walking us through your screening flow.
Days 2–7 — AI interviewer built and trained on your questions, your qualification thresholds, and your languages. CRM integration mapped. Call recording configured.
Your time: Nothing. We build.
Day 8 — We run mock candidate calls: qualified profiles, unqualified profiles, edge cases, language switches, and drop-off scenarios. You review recordings and give feedback.
Your time: 30 minutes reviewing test call recordings.
Day 10 — Live. Every new application triggers an AI screening call within minutes. You receive qualified candidates only. We monitor for the first 30 days and tune based on real call data.
Your time: Zero. Your team only speaks to candidates who've already passed round one.
Results
8 callers couldn't keep up. The AI handles all 200 — same day.
Blue-Collar Hiring Platform — Delhi NCR
The problem
Platform received 150–200 application calls per day following a TV feature. 8 team members trying to run first-round screening manually — 3-hour backlogs building by 10 AM daily. Candidates were applying to 5–10 platforms simultaneously; whoever called first got them.
What we built
AI first-round interviewer deployed on the inbound application number. Every call triggers an immediate screening call in the applicant's language. Qualification responses stored in Tele CRM. Recordings saved. Qualified candidates flagged for human follow-up. Unqualified candidates receive automated closure.
The result
Application backlog eliminated. 100% of inbound applications screened on same-day basis. Human callers shifted from first-round screening to offer and onboarding calls only — higher-value work, no more repetitive qualification.
“We had 8 people drowning in first-round calls. Now the AI handles all of them and our team only talks to candidates who've already qualified. Our fill rate went up and our caller headcount stopped growing even as application volume doubled.”

Is This for You?
Built for staffing agencies and hiring businesses drowning in first-round volume.
This is for you if
- You run a blue-collar, construction, logistics, or manufacturing hiring platform or agency
- You receive 50+ applications per day and can't call all of them back in time
- Your first-round screen is 5–10 standard questions that are the same for every candidate
- Language diversity in your candidate pool (Hindi, regional languages) is a real operational challenge
- You want qualified candidates only — not a full list of every applicant
This is NOT for you if
- You hire fewer than 20 candidates per month — manual calling is sufficient at that volume
- Your screening requires complex technical assessment or portfolio review that AI cannot evaluate
- You need white-glove candidate experience where every interaction must be with a named human recruiter
