Front Office AI · Candidates

ZANUS FRONT OFFICE — EVERY APPLICANT ANSWERED, EVERY INTERVIEW BOOKED

Next-generation AI for your organization. Try it free on your own organization. No credit card.

The applicant asks at midnight. The interview is booked by 12:02. ZANUS AI Front Office as your Candidate & Applicant Desk is the AI that answers candidates, applicants and their families on phone, website chat, email and web forms — is the role still open, did you receive my application, which documents do I need, where is the interview — captures the application complete, books interviews, visits and advising sessions into the right calendars, chases the missing document, and keeps every candidate warm until they show up, enroll or withdraw. A staffing branch, a hospital’s HR desk, an admissions office, a restaurant chain, a school: the job is the same. Screening, hiring and admission decisions stay with your people. Grounded only in the information your organization approves: no source, no claim.

“Give us your website. Ten minutes later Zanus has built a private 7-day sandbox around your company: your knowledge, a phone line that answers as you, your website with Lisa on it, your dashboard with your data. Not old software with an AI button — the AI is the software.”

“No card. No setup fee. Per company, never per seat. You decide after you hear it answer as your company.” One trial per company: a working business website and an e-mail on its domain.

  1. 1
    Your website. Lisa reads it and proposes your departments and people; she asks only what the site does not say.
  2. 2
    Your sandbox, in ten minutes. A phone line in your area code that answers as you and transfers to your real phones, your website with Lisa on it, your dashboard with your data.
  3. 3
    Seven days on your business. Day 1 the first call; day 3 a mail “what your callers asked”; day 7 a report.
  4. 4
    Keep it or walk away. Buy any solution on any day and the sandbox becomes the account — same number, same knowledge, nothing redone. Walk away and nothing is charged.

What happens to every inquiry — in your organization

AnswersBooksServesSellsFollows upSupportsReports
Candidate contact

A nurse applying at 11 PM after a shift, a parent asking about the deadline on the website, a line cook calling about the posting, a client emailing a job order, a student who wants a campus visit — day or night, in any of 40 languages.

Answer

Roles or programs, requirements, documents, process steps, dates, locations, how to apply, when you will hear back — from your approved information only. No source, no claim.

Understand

Applicant or referrer, which role, program or branch, which recruiter or counselor, which stage, how urgent — your routing rules applied in the conversation. Pay, eligibility, aid, accommodations and decisions go to a person.

Act

Capture the application complete, book the interview, visit or advising session into the right calendars, send what to prepare, file the request, transfer to the recruiter with the context whispered in, call back the hang-up.

Follow up

Interview reminders that cut no-shows, the missing document chased, the check-in while the panel decides, the offer or admission letter left unanswered, the day-one confirmation, the past applicant invited back — on schedule, until they start or say no.

Record & report

Every candidate on the front-office record with a stage. Every morning a briefing: what was handled overnight, which interviews were booked, who is waiting on you.

AI-driven end to end. A person wherever your rules require it. Screening, offers, admission and aid decisions, pay, eligibility, accommodations and anything sensitive wait for your people; the routine — answers, applications, bookings, reminders, documents — the AI handles and reports.

One knowledge base feeds every channel

Websites, uploads, pages and articles, Q&A, battle cards, images and videos — you approve it once, and phone, chat, email, demos and quotes all answer from the same verified source. No source, no claim.

Knowledge — the verified knowledge base and website sync
The verified knowledge the AI answers from: documents, the website synced page by page, facts and corrections — never model memory.

40 languages, one bill, a help drawer over every screen

Languages and website translation, billing with plans, top-ups and alerts, onboarding, users & security, and the help drawer that answers from the platform manual — the plumbing that comes with it.

Languages — 40 languages, one knowledge
The language packs: which of the 40 languages are on, greetings and voices per language.

Private by architecture

Your Front Office runs in a private Cloudflare environment dedicated to your company — your own data-processing container, not a shared pool. Your knowledge stays yours: it never trains global models like GPT or Grok, and it is never shared.

  • Private data-processing environment per company
  • Grounded only in your knowledge
  • Claim guard: no source, no claim
  • Private environment option: an isolated environment with enterprise-grade security certifications, on request

Auto-Call — outbound AI calls on your rules

Auto-Call — the AI calls your candidates

Not only answering. From an automated event (a due date, a ready order, tomorrow’s appointment), a scheduled funnel or a list, the AI calls your registered contacts and announces your message — or talks as an agent: answers the question, moves the appointment, confirms, collects the missing detail. Call window, attempts, voicemail policy and consent rules are yours; every call is transcribed.

  • “Hi Derek, this is Pinnacle Staffing: your interview Wednesday at 10 is confirmed; the address and what to bring are in your email.”
  • “Hi Jordan, this is Westfield University Admissions: your application is missing one transcript. Would you like to upload it now, or shall I send the link again?”

Scheduled Auto-Call comes inside a solution — see pricing; calling back the hang-ups is part of AI Phone. How it works, in the Phone chapter ›

Questions, answered

Does the AI screen, rank or reject candidates?

No. It answers from the information your organization approves — open roles or programs, requirements, process, dates, locations, documents — captures the application complete, books and follows up. It can ask the factual questions you define (availability, location, required credential held) and records the answers for your people; it does not score fit, rank anyone, announce a decision, quote pay or confirm eligibility, aid or a background check. Those conversations are transferred or taken as a message, with the context attached. No source, no claim.

What happens to candidate and applicant information?

Your Front Office runs on a private data-processing environment dedicated to your organization; candidate information never trains public models and is never shared. The front-office record holds conversations, bookings and the documents chased — assessments, references and decisions stay in your applicant tracking or student system. Organizations whose compliance requires an isolated environment with specific certifications ask for a private environment — available on request.

Does it replace our applicant tracking or student information system?

No. It sits in front of them: the AI answers, captures, books and follows up, then writes complete applications, interview bookings and contacts back through Connectors — native calendar sync, webhooks and API. Your system stays the record; your people keep every decision; the line stops ringing on the coordinator’s desk.

Try it free on your own organization. 7 days. No credit card.

Give it your website. It learns your company. Then call it, chat with it, e-mail it — and decide. Nothing to install, nothing to cancel.
