General labour and welder applicants answered
A posting for general labour or a welder can bring fifty calls in a week, and every one pulls the front office off something. The agent answers them all, explains the shifts, asks about tickets, and books interviews for the ones who fit.
A job seeker calls about a posting, a walk-in sign, or whether you're hiring.
Explains open roles and shifts, asks about experience and tickets, books an interview or sends the application link.
Interviews on the HR calendar with each applicant's experience and tickets noted.
How it works
- Says what's open
General labour, a MIG welder, a press brake operator, a shipper. From the postings your HR team keeps updated.
- Explains the shifts
Days, afternoons or nights, the start time, weekends, and the starting wage you've posted.
- Asks about experience
Years in a shop, the machines they've run, and their tickets: CWB welding, forklift, a valid driver's licence.
- Books the interview
Applicants who meet the basics get an interview time on HR's calendar, with what to bring.
- Sends the link
Everyone else gets the application link by text, and nobody is turned away rudely.

Questions
Does it make hiring decisions?
No. It books interviews for applicants who meet the basics you set. Your HR team decides who to hire.
What about calls from staffing agencies?
They're taken as messages for HR, the way you choose.
Can it handle sick calls from staff too?
Yes. It takes the name, shift and reason, and texts the supervisor on that shift.
