Answer every candidate and client, then book the call
ZenTalk replies to job seekers and hiring managers on your site at any hour, checks their contact details, and puts a screening call or intake meeting straight into your recruiters' calendars.
ZenTalk gives staffing agencies and recruiters an AI agent on the website that answers candidate questions about open roles, pay ranges you publish, and how to apply, and handles hiring managers asking about your services. It confirms each phone number and email is real, then books a screening call or client intake into a recruiter's calendar with reminders. Recruiters call and text from a browser dialer. Attendance, salary slips, and targets for your internal team run in the same workspace. It is not an applicant tracking system.
What gets in the way today
Candidates apply at night and hear nothing
Job seekers browse roles after work, ask 'is this shift still open?' or 'do you need a forklift licence?', and get no answer until the morning. By then they have applied with two other agencies.
Bad contact details waste screening time
A strong profile comes in with a mistyped email and a number that never rings. Your recruiter tries three times, leaves a voicemail into nothing, and the candidate assumes you were never interested.
Client inquiries get mixed in with candidates
A hiring manager who wants ten warehouse staff by Monday lands in the same queue as general applicant questions. If business development does not see it fast, the order goes to the agency that replied first.
How it works for recruitment and staffing
- 1
The AI greets candidates and clients
It answers from your website and your own notes: open roles, locations, shift patterns, how to register, and what documents to bring. When a hiring manager asks about staff, it captures the role, headcount, and start date, then hands the chat to your team.
- 2
Contact details are verified on the spot
ZenTalk confirms the number is real and reachable and the email mailbox exists, catching typos like gmial.com. If a contact will not work, the AI asks again before the visitor leaves.
- 3
A screening call or intake is booked
The AI checks your recruiters' working hours and books a phone or video call, sends the confirmation, and sends reminders 24 hours and 30 minutes before. Candidates reschedule by saying so in the chat.
- 4
Recruiters call and text from the browser
The recruiter calls from your business number in the dashboard, with the call recorded and saved to the candidate's thread. Once the number is approved for messaging, texts go out in the same conversation.
- 5
Your own team's attendance and pay stay in one place
Your recruiters clock in and out, managers approve leave reasons, payroll produces salary slips, and each recruiter sees their progress against a monthly target.
The parts of ZenTalk you will use most
AI chat for candidate and client questions
The AI answers role, shift, and registration questions in the visitor's language, qualifies hiring managers, and hands any chat to a recruiter with the full context.
Learn morePhone and email verification
Every number gets a carrier and line type check and every email a mailbox check, with a reachable or undeliverable pill on the leads list so recruiters call the right people first.
Learn moreScreening calls booked into the calendar
The AI books real open slots for screening calls and client intakes, sends reminders, and moves the appointment when the candidate asks, so fewer interviews end in no shows.
Learn moreBrowser dialer for recruiters
Rent a local or toll free number or bring your own, call and text candidates from the dashboard, and keep each call recorded on the candidate's thread for 30 days.
Learn moreAI voice agent for missed calls
When every recruiter is on the phone or the office is closed, the AI voice agent answers, handles common questions, and books a callback.
Learn moreHR and payroll for your internal team
Attendance with shifts and overtime, monthly salary snapshots, branded PDF salary slips, and per recruiter targets with a leaderboard, inside the same workspace.
Learn moreWhere ZenTalk fits, and where it does not
ZenTalk is not an applicant tracking system. Keep your ATS for job postings, CV parsing, pipelines, and compliance checks, and use ZenTalk for the conversations around them.
The HR and payroll module is built for your internal staff in the workspace. It is not a timesheet or payroll system for large numbers of placed temps and contractors.
There is no integration with job boards or ATS platforms, so candidate records do not sync automatically.
For recruitment and staffing agencies, ZenTalk makes sure no candidate or client inquiry waits until morning. The AI answers, checks that the phone number and email actually work, and books the screening call, while recruiters call and text from the browser. Keep your ATS for pipelines, and let ZenTalk handle the first conversation and your own team's back office.

Common questions
Does ZenTalk replace our applicant tracking system?
No. ZenTalk does not post jobs, parse CVs, or manage hiring pipelines. It handles the conversations: answering candidates and clients on your website, verifying contact details, booking calls, and recording recruiter calls. Keep your ATS as the system of record for candidates.
Can the AI answer questions about our open roles?
Yes, from what is on your website and the notes you add. ZenTalk reads your pages into a fact sheet, and your own notes take priority. Rescan after you post new roles and the AI uses them in the next chat. It does not invent roles or pay rates.
Can candidates book their own screening call?
Yes. When a candidate wants to talk, the AI checks your recruiters' availability and books a phone call if there is a verified number, or a video call otherwise. Confirmation and reminders 24 hours and 30 minutes before go out automatically.
Can we use the payroll module to pay our temps?
The HR and payroll module is designed for your internal team: clock in and out, attendance by month, leave approvals, and salary slips with configurable tax brackets. It is not built to run payroll or timesheets for large numbers of placed workers.
What does ZenTalk cost for a recruitment agency?
A flat $50 per agent, per month, per workspace, with the AI included and no per resolution fees. Calls and texts are pay as you go from a prepaid wallet. You can start with a one week free trial.
