Calling Agent — calls the people who ignore email.
Senior people ignore recruiting email. They answer the phone. The Calling Agent places the call, opens with the person’s actual work rather than a vacancy, holds a real conversation inside a playbook you write, and hands every warm reply to a recruiter within minutes. It says it is AI the moment anyone asks.
Hand it the role. Keep the decisions.
Scene, rules and goal — what the role is, what may be said about comp, what must never be promised, and when to stop and fetch a human.
Working hours in the candidate’s own timezone, daily and weekly caps with a warm-up ramp, randomised timing and suppression lists.
Opens on their work, not the job. Answers what the team is building, roughly what it pays, and why this is a step up — inside the bounds you set.
Interest, hesitation, a comp question or a complaint all escalate to a person. Warm conversations reach a recruiter within thirty minutes.
It stops the moment a person should take over.
The agent is built to hand off, not to close. Interest, hesitation, a question about money or anything resembling a negotiation ends the automated part of the conversation and puts a specialist recruiter on the line.
Built like a colleague, not a tool.
A call lands where a seventh follow-up email does not, especially with senior candidates who stopped reading recruiter mail years ago.
Always, whenever asked, without hedging. Anything else poisons the first conversation you ever have with a candidate.
Negotiation, a counter-offer, anything judgment-shaped goes to a human. The agent does not invent an answer to keep the call alive.
Caps, ramps, randomised timing, an automatic pause on a complaint spike, and a platform-wide limit of one company per candidate every fourteen days.
Calling sits alongside email, LinkedIn and WhatsApp in one sequence. The agent picks the entry channel per person and escalates automatically.
Every call is recorded and transcribed, so what was said about comp, notice or the team is on the record.
For teams hiring senior or hard-to-reach people, high-volume searches across many cities at once, and recruiters whose email reply rates have collapsed.
Make hiring the thing you’re good at.
