The problem

Where the time and money actually go.

Recruiters repeat the same calls, applications are incomplete, license and experience evidence arrives in fragments, and qualified drivers abandon slow processes.

Who feels it

Recruiters, applicants, safety and onboarding teams

Trigger to act: Open seats are constraining revenue, recruiter cost per hire is rising, or a carrier needs after-hours multilingual applicant response.

Outcome & ROI

The result you can model before you sign.

Illustrative, replace with your data
$4,800
per month, illustrative

Illustrative only: 1,000 applicants/month × 9 minutes removed × $32 loaded recruiter hourly cost ÷ 60 = $4,800 monthly capacity. Value of faster seat fill is fleet-specific.

The outcome, plainly: Screen applicants against transparent job requirements, collect documents, schedule next steps, and hand qualified candidates to human recruiters faster.

The human gate

AI-Native, not autonomous. Judgment stays with your people.

The machine does the work; the human’s role narrows to the one thing that matters, judgment. That constraint is what makes it safe to deploy.

Non-negotiable human gate

Recruiters make all hiring decisions; safety/compliance staff adjudicate records; adverse-action and background-check procedures remain human governed.

What it will never do
No discriminatory screening
No hidden automated hiring decision
No background check without consent
No safety qualification beyond configured evidence and human review
The scorecard

A scorecard, not a demo. We baseline what breaks in production.

Every deployment ships with an evaluation suite. These are the numbers we baseline before launch and monitor after.

Why this is safe to try
01Baseline first. We measure your current numbers before we build anything.
02Fixed scope, fixed price. One process in the pilot. No open-ended engagement.
03Expand only if the scorecard earns it. You see the measured result before committing to production.
04Your people stay in control. The human gate means nothing consequential happens without a human’s approval.
FAQ

Questions serious buyers ask.

Does the AI act on its own?

No. Recruiters make all hiring decisions; safety/compliance staff adjudicate records; adverse-action and background-check procedures remain human governed. The system drafts and recommends; a human approves every consequential action. Explicitly excluded: no discriminatory screening; no hidden automated hiring decision; no background check without consent; no safety qualification beyond configured evidence and human review.

How do you stop it inventing facts?

Every material claim is grounded in an allowed source record and returned with its source identifier. The system separates observed facts, model inference, and missing information, and routes to a human whenever confidence is low, evidence conflicts, or an adverse outcome is possible.

What does it cost to run each month?

A usage bill of roughly $800–5,800 per month (3,000 to 15,000 connected voice minutes per month; telephony, speech, model and recording storage), plus a $2,200 per month managed retainer for evaluation, monitoring and maintenance. Your existing platform licenses are separate and already yours. Exact figures are confirmed during scoping.

Do we need a ChatGPT or Claude subscription?

No consumer ChatGPT or Claude subscription is required for the production workflow. The client needs an approved API/cloud billing account. Workspace seats are optional for internal prototyping and administrator access.

How is this different from Tenstreet?

Tools like Tenstreet, DriverReach, Indeed are broad platforms you adapt to. This is a fixed-scope implementation tuned to your systems and rules, grounded in your data, with the human gate and audit trail built in, and a transparent price instead of a seat subscription.

How long until it’s live, and how do we prove it works?

This is a specialist opportunity. We baseline “Applicant response time” first, then measure against that baseline. You see the scorecard before expanding scope, the evaluation suite ships with the system, not as an afterthought.
