What is an AI voice agent for recruitment agencies?

An AI voice agent for recruitment agencies is an automated phone system that pre-screens candidates with structured questions (role interest, current salary, notice period, work rights, locations), takes new role intake from client hiring managers, captures availability and contact details, and routes placement-ready candidates to the right consultant. Waboom AI builds recruitment-specific agents that integrate with JobAdder, Bullhorn, Vincere, and Workable.

Built for Recruitment

AI voice agents that screen candidates the way your senior consultant does, intake new roles, and never miss a 7pm hot-candidate callback.

Structured Candidate Screening

Asks the questions that pre-qualify a candidate (role title, salary range, notice, work rights, location preferences). Pushes the summary into JobAdder or Bullhorn ready for consultant review.

Client Role Intake

Takes new vacancy briefs from hiring managers (role, location, salary, must-haves, nice-to-haves) and sends a structured brief to the consultant. Saves 30 minutes per role.

Multilingual Screening

Switches to the candidate's first language for the screening (Te Reo, Mandarin, Hindi, Spanish, Filipino, more). Important in NZ where 30%+ of trades candidates are not first-language English.

After-Hours Availability

65% of candidate-initiated calls are after hours. The agent intakes them, screens them, and books a same-day-tomorrow consultant call without losing them to your competitor.

Frequently Asked Questions

How thorough is the candidate screening?

It runs the structured questions your senior recruiter asks: role title, current salary, notice period, work rights, location preferences, salary expectation, reason for change, key skills. The output is a 200-word candidate summary delivered to your consultant in JobAdder or Bullhorn within 60 seconds of the call ending.

Which recruitment systems does it integrate with?

JobAdder, Bullhorn, Vincere, Workable, Bullhorn Now, FastTrack, Astute, Ezyrecruit. Most NZ and AU agencies are on one of those. Custom integration in 48 hours via webhook for legacy or in-house systems.

Will it scare off senior candidates?

We tested with executive search firms. The agent introduces itself honestly, runs the screening calmly, and offers immediate consultant escalation for senior callers (we identify them by their LinkedIn link, salary range, or current role title). Senior candidates appreciate getting straight to a recruiter call rather than waiting for callback.

Can it handle a hiring manager calling to brief a new role?

Yes. It asks the structured intake (role, location, salary band, must-haves, nice-to-haves, timeline) and books an immediate consultant follow-up. The brief lands in your CRM as a new opportunity in 60 seconds.

How does it handle multilingual candidates in trades and aged care?

It detects the candidate's language in the first 5 seconds (Mandarin, Hindi, Filipino, Spanish, Te Reo Maori, Vietnamese, 30+ more) and continues in it. Then summarises the screening in English for your consultant. Removes a real bottleneck for NZ aged care, hospitality, and trades recruiters.
