AI Phone for Staffing & Recruiting. A staffing agency answering service for every shift

AI Phone is a staffing agency answering service that picks up your branch lines on the first ring, day and night, in the caller's language. Associates call off or confirm shifts, applicants hear which roles are open and book registrations, and hiring managers place job orders, while pay, hiring and safety calls go to a person with the reason announced.

Messages

Each message a caller dictated is written out for the right person, with Call back, Heard and Done, so a Sunday-evening availability call is not lost.

Easy setupSet up everything just by talking to Lisa AISee how ›

You“Call-offs before 7 AM ring the on-call coordinator; the rest wait for the branch.”

Lisa“I'm sending call-offs before 7 AM to the on-call coordinator's mobile and filing other calls for the branch's opening. Apply?”

You talk. Lisa sets it up. Applied only on your yes.

How Staffing & Recruiting use it

At 5:20 AM an associate says her car will not start; the call-off is filed and the on-call coordinator's mobile rings.

A plant supervisor calls at 4 PM for three pickers on second shift; the order is taken down and the account manager alerted.

A Spanish-speaking applicant asks whether the forklift role is still open and books Thursday's registration without waiting for a bilingual recruiter.

REAL AI - the whole Front Office is AI, not old software with an AI button.

What’s included

Keep your number: forward your existing line to your Front Office line and the AI answers immediately, no porting needed. Port the number in when you decide; we handle it with the carrier
A local number in your area, or your own number ported in
Answers on the first ring, 24/7, 365; your business hours only decide when people are reachable
Human-like voice: you choose the voice and the persona per function, greeting, sales, support, booking, callbacks
Receptionist style, no phone menu: the caller just talks in any of 40 languages; the AI detects the language on the first sentence and switches the whole call
Departments you define, sales, support, booking, billing, technical…, each with its own policy: AI first, operator first, or AI only; each with its own AI specialist when no human is free
Directory of your operators with per-day working hours, languages, the nicknames callers use, vacations and temp-worker expiry
Transfers announce the caller and the reason; your person accepts before the call is connected; the call is pulled back before a mobile voicemail can swallow it
Language routing: a Spanish-speaking caller reaches your Spanish-speaking operator first
Hold music with spoken updates; when a person is unavailable the AI says the honest line you wrote for that time of day
Takes messages with the callback number read back and confirmed, delivered to that person's own inbox
Books appointments live from your calendar during the call; captures the e-mail letter by letter; saves the lead
Every fact from your approved knowledge, prices only from your catalog; with no source it says so and offers a person
Robocalls and telemarketers get one polite goodbye and stay away from your team
Off hours your way: full AI service, take-a-message only, or voicemail; holidays and special closures with the message you write
Every call transcribed into the customer's record with a summary; call log with transcripts, exportable; the morning briefing reads it for you

The branch line

What the staffing agency answering service does on each call

Shifts confirmed and called off

Associates confirm tomorrow's start or call off with the reason in their own words; the call-off lands on the record and reaches the coordinator your rule names.

Open roles answered

Applicants hear whether the night-shift or clerical role listed on your website is still open, what to bring and where the branch is, then book a registration with AI Booking.

Job orders written down

A hiring manager's role, site, shift, start date and headcount are taken down as stated, and the account manager is rung or alerted with the summary.

Transfers with the reason

When a caller needs a person, the AI tells your colleague who is calling and why before the call connects, on the computer, the phone app or a mobile.

Questions & answers

AI Phone for Staffing & Recruiting: questions & answers

Can an answering service for staffing agencies handle the early shift rush?

Yes. Every call is answered on the first ring, however many associates call at once before the 7 AM start. Confirmations are noted, call-offs are filed with the reason given, and the coordinator your rule names is reached at once.

Can the phone tell candidates, associates and clients apart?

Yes. With staffing agency phone answering, callers just say what they need and the AI routes by reason and language to the departments you set, such as job seekers, current associates, clients and payroll, each answered AI first, a person first or AI only.

What does the AI say when a candidate asks if they got the job?

It never answers that itself. It takes a message for the recruiter with the callback number read back digit by digit, or transfers the call when the recruiter is free, announcing who is calling and why.

What happens to calls after hours and on holidays?

Outside your hours you choose full AI service, take-a-message only or voicemail, and on a closure callers hear the message you wrote for that day. Each call is saved with its transcript and summary for the morning briefing.

How much does an answering service for temp agencies cost here?

AI Phone is priced per company, never per recruiter or per branch, and the plans are listed on the pricing page. You can run it free for 7 days on your own lines, with no credit card and no porting.
