AI Webchat for Staffing & Recruiting. A recruitment chatbot that answers candidates and clients

AI Webchat is a recruitment chatbot for your agency's website that answers candidates and client employers by text or by voice, in their language, from the information your agency approved. It takes their details as a contact, books an interview or intake call with AI Booking, and leaves screening, scoring and every hiring decision to your recruiters.

Recruitment chatbot on a job page: her card in the corner, talk to her or type a question, real Zanus AI screen

On every page

Her card waits in the corner of every page; one tap starts a voice conversation, or the candidate simply types a question about the role.

How Staffing & Recruiting use it

1

A visitor on the night-shift posting asks at 11 PM whether it is still open and books Thursday's registration in the chat.

2

A clinic manager asks whether you staff medical assistants in her city, leaves her e-mail and books an intake call.

3

An associate types when is pay day; the chat answers from your written pay-day policy and nothing more.

Career site chat

What the recruitment chatbot answers on your career site

The small button in the corner of every job page is conversational AI for your career sites, built to answer questions from candidates and clients by text or voice, in their language, at any hour.

Is the role still open?

Visitors on a job page ask about the shift, the start date, the branch or how to apply, and the answer comes from your own pages and approved knowledge, never a guess.

Typed or spoken

A candidate on a phone types, or taps her picture and talks, and can interrupt like with a person. Natural language processing lets her ask in her own words, and each voice speaks each language the chat supports.

Opens the right page

Asked about registration, she opens the what-to-bring page and introduces it; asked about several branches, she gives a short tour of each branch's page.

Details taken as a contact

A name with an e-mail given in the chat becomes a contact in AI CRM with the chat as its source, so the recruiter can reach the candidate the next morning.

The right desk

Lisa opens the chat and hands over to the department's person, such as candidates, clients or payroll, each with its own name and voice.

A parting summary

A visitor who leaves without booking can receive the summary of the chat by e-mail, the address verified, with the link to your application page.

Candidate moments

A recruiting chatbot for staffing agencies, moment by moment

Midnight on the warehouse posting

A night-shift worker finishing at midnight asks about weekend roles; the chat answers, books Thursday's registration and e-mails the branch address with the confirmation.

Lunch break on a phone

A server on her break asks in Spanish which documents registration needs; the answer comes in Spanish, with the page that lists them opened beside it.

A hiring manager between meetings

An operations manager asks whether you staff forklift drivers in two counties; the chat answers from your service pages and files her request for the account manager.

Use cases

Recruitment chatbot use cases for staffing agencies

The questions every job seeker asks

The frequently asked questions of job seekers, such as shift times, the pay-day policy, the dress code and what to bring, are answered from your approved information, so recruiters stop repeating them.

Interview calls booked in the chat

Once a candidate names a role, the chat offers the recruiter's free slots at the chosen branch and books the interview call, the way AI Booking does on the phone.

The application process, step by step

A visitor who asks how to apply hears your application process in order, with the page opened beside the reply; a question about application status goes to your recruiters.

Candidate engagement after hours

Visitors who arrive at night or on a weekend still get an answer and a booked call, so candidate engagement keeps going until a recruiter is back at the desk.

Compared

AI chatbot for recruitment or the usual career-site tools?

Most agencies choose between an apply form, recruiters on live chat and a scripted bot. Here is what each one does for the candidate experience when a job seeker writes at midnight.

Guardrails

What the AI recruiting chatbot never does

No screening, no scoring

The chat never screens, scores, ranks or rejects anyone. It asks only what a booking needs, such as the branch and the role, and never judges the answers.

No résumé reading

Résumés stay in your existing ATS, the applicant tracking system your recruiters already use. The chat answers from your pages, your documents and the answers your team approved, and nothing else.

No pay rates

A never-say rule keeps pay rates out of every reply, and a visitor who writes about a short check is pointed to payroll as mail or a ticket.

No pretending

The chat never pretends to be a recruiter. A visitor who wants human interaction lands in your team's mail queue or a ticket, with the whole conversation attached.

Set-up

Set up the chatbot for staffing agencies in 2 minutes

1

Lisa reads your career site

Lisa reads your job pages, branch pages and policies, names them, finds the pictures she may show and asks how candidates and clients should be greeted.

2

Paste one line

The script goes once in your site theme and every job page gets the chat; the status strip says installed as soon as a visitor opens a page.

3

Set the never-say rules

Tell Lisa what the chat must never discuss, such as pay rates, hiring decisions or a candidate's status, and she writes each rule with its own test.

4

Seven days on your site

Run the free trial on your own career site for 7 days, no credit card, and read every session with its outcome when the week ends.

Questions & answers

Recruitment chatbot questions from staffing agencies

What is a recruitment chatbot?

A recruitment chatbot answers job seekers and employers on a career site at any hour. AI Webchat does it for a staffing agency from your approved information only: open roles, branches, how to apply, what to bring. It takes the visitor's details as a contact and books the interview or the intake call.

Does the recruiting chatbot screen or score candidates?

No. It never screens, scores or ranks a candidate, never reads a résumé and never decides who is hired. It answers questions, takes the name and e-mail the visitor gives and books the time they choose. Your recruiters decide who the qualified candidates are, at every step of the hiring process.

Can a chatbot on a staffing website book interviews?

Yes. Interview scheduling runs through AI Booking: the chat offers only free slots in the recruiter's calendar at the branch the candidate picks, verifies the guest before the slot enters the book and e-mails the confirmation with the branch address.

How do I add the recruitment chatbot to our career site?

Paste one line of code in your site theme, once, and every page gets the chat, each job page included. The Website chat page then marks it installed and shows when a candidate last opened it.

Which languages does the AI recruiting chatbot speak?

Forty languages. Her opening lines are written once in your language and shown and spoken in the visitor's, and the widget follows the language of the page or asks. An applicant who writes in Spanish is answered in Spanish, by text or by voice.

What does the chat do when a worker reports a problem on site?

It does not advise. It gives the urgent number your approved information names, offers the Talk to a specialist button that calls your branch from a phone, and files the conversation for a person as mail or a ticket.

Can the chat answer clients as well as candidates?

Yes. A hiring manager asking whether you cover forklift operators in her county, how fast you fill a role or how temp-to-hire works is answered from your service pages, and her request is filed for the account manager with the conversation.

What happens when the chatbot does not know the answer?

It does not guess. The question goes to your team and is counted as a knowledge gap, so the answer about a holiday pay day or a new branch's address is written once and used from then on.

Can we see what candidates ask in the chat?

Yes. The Website chat page shows the sessions live, with the page, the language and text or voice, and each session's outcome: a lead, a ticket, answered, or opened and never typed. Search by e-mail or message and export the list.

How much does the recruitment chatbot cost?

AI Webchat is priced per company, never per recruiter or per chat agent, so every branch shares it. The plans are on the pricing page, and the free trial runs 7 days on your own career site with no credit card.

How are recruitment chatbots different from an AI recruiting platform?

Recruitment chatbots talk with visitors on your site; an AI recruiting platform may also source, screen and rank applicants. AI Webchat stays the first kind on purpose: an AI assistant that answers, takes details and books the interview call, while your talent acquisition team and recruiters run the recruitment process.

Does the chatbot use artificial intelligence or fixed scripts?

Artificial intelligence. It reads what the visitor typed or said in natural language and writes the answer from your approved information, instead of offering a menu of fixed buttons. Recruiting chatbots built this way engage candidates in their own words, and where no approved answer exists, the question goes to your team.
