What is an AI voice agent for recruitment agencies?
An AI voice agent for recruitment agencies answers candidate and client calls 24/7. It pre-screens candidates with structured questions (role interest, current salary, notice period, work rights, locations), takes new role briefs from hiring managers, captures availability and contact details, and sends placement-ready candidates to the right consultant. It works with JobAdder, Bullhorn, Vincere and Workable.

Common 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 and key skills. Your consultant gets a short candidate summary in JobAdder or Bullhorn soon after the call ends.
Which recruitment systems does it integrate with?
JobAdder, Bullhorn, Vincere, Workable, Bullhorn Now, FastTrack, Astute and Ezyrecruit. Most NZ and AU agencies use one of those. Legacy or in-house systems can be connected by webhook.
Will it scare off senior candidates?
No. The agent introduces itself honestly, runs the screening calmly and offers a consultant straight away to senior callers, who it spots by salary range or current role title. Senior candidates get straight to a recruiter conversation instead of waiting for a callback.
Can it handle a hiring manager calling to brief a new role?
Yes. It asks the structured intake questions (role, location, salary band, must-haves, nice-to-haves, timeline) and books a consultant follow-up. The brief lands in your CRM as a new opportunity.
How does it handle multilingual candidates in trades and aged care?
It switches to the candidate's language when they start speaking it, runs the screening in that language, then summarises it in English for your consultant. That removes a real bottleneck for NZ and AU aged care, hospitality and trades recruiters.
What does it cost?
Start with $500 of call credit plus $130 a month for the platform (NZD, ex GST). Talk time is 95c a minute and drops to 77c when you load more credit. In Australia it is A$500 plus A$130 a month, from 95c down to 71c. Credit never expires, and every plan has a 30-day money-back guarantee.
