Recruiters and staffingGoal: Interview booked

The AI screener that calls every applicant before another agency places them.

Good candidates apply to several roles at once and take the first real conversation. Avoonta calls yours within seconds, asks the same must-have questions every time, and books the interview with a recruiter.

The problem

Why recruiting & staffing leads go cold.

In staffing, the candidate goes with the first recruiter who calls.

A warehouse or nursing shift posted at 9am can draw two hundred applicants by lunch. Your recruiters are on client calls and onboarding paperwork, so most applicants wait days for a screen, and the best ones are already working somewhere else.

Manual screens also drift. Different recruiters ask different questions, notes are uneven, and a hiring manager can't compare candidates side by side.

What Avoonta does for recruiting & staffing

Four jobs, done on every call.

Calls each applicant right away

Outbound

When an opted-in candidate applies, your AI Agent dials within seconds and confirms the role, the location and that they're still interested.

Screens on your must-haves

Outbound + inbound

Licenses or certifications, shift availability, commute, start date and pay expectations, asked the same way to every candidate, so your recruiters compare like with like.

Books recruiter interviews

Outbound + inbound

Candidates who meet the must-haves get an interview booked into your recruiter's Google, Outlook, HighLevel or Cal.com calendar while they're still on the line.

Fills last-minute shifts

Outbound

A worker calls out sick? It can phone opted-in workers on your bench, ask who can take the shift, and hand the yeses to your coordinator by live transfer.

If screening every applicant the same day lets you place even one more candidate a month, that one placement fee can cover the plan many times.

Example only. Your applicant volume, screen length and fees will differ; use your own numbers.

Limits and compliance

People make hiring decisions.

Your agent screens only on the job-related must-haves you set, asks every candidate the same questions, and never rejects or hires anyone; your recruiters and the employer decide. It calls only candidates who opted in to be contacted, between 8am and 8pm in their time zone, after a do-not-call check, and opens every call by saying it's an AI assistant.

  • Same questions for every candidate
  • No questions about protected traits
  • Recordings available for review
Recruiting & Staffing FAQ

Straight answers.

Does the AI decide who gets hired?

No. It asks your must-have questions and records the answers. Your recruiters and the hiring employer review them and make every decision.

Can candidates talk to it in Spanish?

Yes. Avoonta speaks 30+ languages, so the screen can happen in the language the candidate is most comfortable with, using the same questions.

Can it screen hundreds of applicants for one big order?

Yes. Every plan includes unlimited AI Agents, so applicants are called at the same time rather than one after another.

What do my recruiters get after each screen?

The answers to each question, the booked interview time, a recording and a transcript, sent to your ATS by webhook or Zapier.
