The phone is the product
Recruiters live on the phone: candidate screens, client development, offer management — volume and quality both matter, and both are invisible without the right telephony. The recruitment-grade setup: CRM integration with screen-pops (candidate or client record open as the phone rings) and automatic call logging so the database stays honest without discipline; recording for dispute resolution and consultant coaching with whisper and listen-in; wallboards making activity visible in a sales-culture office; and mobile apps so consultants work candidates from anywhere with the agency number presented. Temp desks add out-of-hours reality — shift fills and no-shows happen at 6am, and the on-call routing has to work first time.

Frequently asked questions
Does it integrate with recruitment CRMs?
Yes — popular recruitment platforms connect for screen-pops, click-to-dial and automatic call logging; others via API. The database finally maintains itself.
Can managers coach live calls?
Yes — listen-in and whisper let managers hear real calls and feed guidance only the consultant hears; barge joins when needed. It's the fastest consultant development tool there is.
How do temp-desk out-of-hours calls work?
On-call routing follows your rota: the 6am no-show reaches the duty consultant directly, with AI capture as backstop so nothing lands in voicemail while shifts hang unfilled.
