Rated 4.7/5 on G2. ## Anywhere a number fits, an application fits Your van, your sign, your career-fair handout. Put your hiring number where people already notice you. - **Your next hire could be walking past.** Your crew is already out in the field. Give people a way to apply when they spot your brand. - **Help wanted. Conversation welcome.** A window sign or a billboard can start the same conversation. One number, ready whenever they are. ## Why applications leak No frontline applicant has time for a two-page form. The form filters out the people you wanted. - **60% never finish.** Six in ten frontline workers start an online application and abandon it before submitting (iCIMS, 2025 State of Frontline Hiring). - **Half say it was too long.** Of the workers who quit an application, 50% named the length of the form as the reason (iCIMS, 2025). - **Most arrive after hours.** More than half of applications land outside business hours, when nobody is in the office to answer a question or pick up the phone (Classet interview data). - **They have questions first.** Pay, the schedule, whether the truck goes home with them. A form can't answer any of that, so they move on to the company that picks up. ## How it works: a form only asks, a call answers back Turn a moment of interest into a conversation, even after your team heads home. 1. **Your careers page finally talks back.** Put a hiring number and QR code beside your open jobs. Interested candidates can call instead of filling out a form. 2. **Their questions, answered.** Pay, schedule, what the work involves. Joy answers from your job and company details, then asks your qualifying questions. 3. **A conversation you can build on.** Get a candidate record with the recording, transcript, and summary. Your team decides who takes the next step. Repeat callers are matched by phone number. ## A two-page form vs a two-minute call | | An online application | Call to Apply | |---|---|---| | Where it starts | A link they have to find, on a device they have to type on | A number on the truck, the sign, or the careers page | | Their questions | Unanswered until someone calls back | Answered on the call, from your job details | | After hours | Sits in the queue until Monday | Answered at 6 AM, 9 PM, and on Sundays | | What you receive | A name and a résumé you still have to chase | A candidate record with the recording, transcript, and summary | | Who decides | Whoever gets to the inbox | Your team, with the conversation in front of them | ## What customers say - "Joy works 24/7. It's perfect for candidates who can't talk during normal hours. We're seeing more applicants come through because of it. Joy is efficient, professional, and sounds like a real person, not robotic at all." Rebecca Wallace, COO, Phoenix Transload - "Whoever came up with this, you need to give them a pat on the back. I've hired 3 great people and it's taken a staggeringly low amount of my time." Patrick P., President, Entex Pest Control ## Availability Available by request on every Classet plan. The Classet team sets up your number and your greeting with you. Candidate records stay in Classet; there is no write-back to an external ATS today. ## Frequently asked questions **What does Joy ask on the call?** She answers with your company greeting and tells the caller the line is recorded, confirms they're calling about work, gives a short overview of your company and the roles you're hiring for, then asks which role interests them, where they're located, and your qualifying questions (typically that they're 18 or over, authorized to work, and comfortable with a background check). She closes by telling them their details are going to your team. **Can Joy answer questions about the job?** Yes, and that is most of the value. Callers ask about pay, schedule, whether there's a take-home vehicle, how on-call works, what a normal day looks like. Joy answers from your job and company details while the caller is still on the phone. **Do I need a new phone number?** We set one up for you. You choose where it goes, from a job ad and a yard sign to a van, a business card, and your careers page. Every number comes with a QR code that dials it. **Does this replace the AI screening interview?** No. It replaces the application form. The call captures who they are, which role they want, and the basics. From there they move through your normal screening interview and scheduling. **What happens to callers who aren't a fit?** Their answers arrive with them, so you can see why before you spend a minute on them. Nobody is rejected on the call. Someone who isn't calling about a job at all gets a polite wrap-up and a log entry, with no candidate record created. **What if the same person calls twice?** Joy matches the caller to their existing record by phone number, so a returning applicant updates their own file instead of creating a duplicate. **Is the call recorded?** Yes, and every caller is told so in the first sentence. The recording and full transcript are attached to the candidate record in Classet. **Does a caller go into my ATS?** The candidate record, recording, and transcript live in Classet. There is no write-back to an external ATS today. **What does it cost?** Call to Apply is set up with our team and priced with your plan. Ask about it on a demo or, if you're already a customer, ask us about activation. **Can I try it first?** Yes. Enter your number on the [Call to Apply demo](https://www.classet.ai/calltoapply) and Joy will call you the way she'd call an applicant. ## Related - [How Classet's AI phone interviews work](https://www.classet.ai/product) - [Scheduling](https://www.classet.ai/scheduling) - [Candidate insights](https://www.classet.ai/candidate-insights) - [Classet Hiring Hub](https://www.classet.ai/hiring-hub)
