A national home services company keeps hiring 30 techs a week with 15 recruiters instead of 25

JC's Pick One I'd point a client to first.

Same 30 hires a week with 10 fewer recruiters

A national appliance and HVAC repair company (name not disclosed), United States. Tools: Classet AI recruiter.

50% → 70%candidates finishing the screening

15recruiters, down from 25

What they did

Technicians are in customers' homes all day and can't take a recruiter's call. Written assessments had about a 50% completion rate. An AI voice interviewer now runs first-round screens around the clock, so candidates interview when they're free, and recruiters get the recording before they call.

How to copy it

Let candidates do the first screen by voice, on their schedule, instead of a written test.
Keep the human recruiter for the second conversation, armed with the recording.
Track completion rate. If half your applicants never finish screening, that's the leak.

Act as my setup advisor. Before you suggest anything, ask me up to five short questions about my business (team size, call or lead volume, the software I already use, my budget). Then give me a step-by-step plan for my shop: which tools fit what I already have, rough monthly cost, how long setup takes, and what usually goes wrong. Keep it plain and practical.

The vendor didn't name the company. We include it because the numbers are specific, but treat it with that in mind.
