Scope the Call
We agree what the agent says, what it must never say, and what counts as a good outcome. You approve the script before anything dials.
An application at 9pm gets a phone call at 9:01pm. Screened against your requirements,
booked for an interview, and logged before they ever go cold.
Caregiver turnover runs about 75% a year, according to the Activated Insights 2026 Benchmarking Report, and replacing one caregiver costs somewhere between $1,500 and $5,000 once you count posting, training, supervisor time and the shifts nobody covered. For a 45-caregiver agency that is $52,500 to $108,000 a year spent standing still. The leak is not usually the job ad. Agencies take three to four weeks to respond to an applicant, and caregivers say plainly that the wait is why they stop answering. By the time someone calls, they have taken another job. This agent closes that window to about a minute. The moment an application lands, it calls, works through your screening questions, and books an interview into your calendar.
It is not a text blast and it is not an app notification. It is a phone call, which is what actually gets answered by a workforce that is often driving, on shift, or between clients.
We start from your actual hiring bar. Which certifications you require, how far someone can reasonably travel, what hours you are short on, whether you will take someone with no experience. Those become the screening questions the agent asks, in the order a good recruiter would ask them, with follow-ups when an answer is unclear.
Consent is built in from the first day rather than bolted on. The FCC ruled in February 2024 that AI-generated voices count as an artificial or prerecorded voice under the TCPA, so outbound calls need prior express consent. We add that language to your application form so every person the agent calls has already agreed to it, and we keep the record that proves it.
A working outbound screening agent connected to your application form and your calendar, with the consent language, the call script and the escalation rules all documented and yours to keep.
