The problem: phone tag was costing them candidates
A tier-one automotive supplier was hiring at high volume across the country, but losing strong candidates to a single bottleneck. A recruiter would call an interested applicant, get no answer; the candidate would call back while the recruiter was on another line or already home for the day. Days — sometimes weeks — passed before a live conversation happened.
In high-volume frontline hiring, the first company to reach a candidate is usually the one that hires them. These candidates were taking other jobs in the meantime.
The Dukes solution
An AI voice agent in front of the recruiting team
Text first, with a local number
Interested applicants get a text inviting a quick prescreen — with a local callback number (a 725 in Las Vegas, a 239 in Fort Myers) that makes them far more likely to call back.
Answer instantly, 24/7
When a candidate calls back on their own schedule — 9 p.m. after a night shift, midnight, weekends — the AI voice agent answers on the second ring and runs the prescreen. No recruiter is answering at midnight; the agent always is.
Qualify and route
The agent screens against the role's requirements and instantly texts qualified candidates a unique link to apply — turning interest into a completed application in a single call.
