AI Sales system

AI Recruiting Engine: Screening and Booking Commission Sales Reps

Live: Running in production for a real business today. Intake and evidence rating run live on submitted applications. The AI screening conversation turns on once Meta App Review and SMS registration clear; until then, a person sends outreach.

What does the AI Recruiting Engine system do?

An AI recruiting engine takes applicants from recruiting ads, asks only the screening questions their application didn't answer, rates each requirement with the applicant's own words as evidence, and books qualified people into interviews. A person makes every hiring decision.

The problem

What goes wrong without it

Commission-only sales roles get lots of applicants and few who show up. Recruiters lose afternoons to people who were never a fit, good candidates wait days for a callback and take another offer, and nobody can say which ad produced the reps who actually sold.

The input

  • Applicants from Meta Instant Forms and recruiting landing pages
  • The role's real requirements (e.g. availability, transportation, field sales experience)
  • Interviewer availability and approved wording for pay and role details

AI Recruiting Engine, step by step

A sample run through every step of the AI Recruiting Engine system, from the first input to the finished result. Gold steps are handled by AI; green steps stay with people.

The workflow

How it works, step by step

AI Recruiting Engine workflow
  • Input
  • AI step
  • System / integration
  • Human step
  • Output
  1. Input

    Applicant arrives

    An application from a recruiting ad becomes an applicant record automatically, with the answers already given.

  2. AI step

    Ask only what's missing

    Over SMS or Messenger, the assistant asks only for requirements the application didn't cover, no repeated questions.

  3. AI step

    Rate each requirement with evidence

    Each requirement is marked Confirmed, Needs discussion or Unknown, and every rating is backed by a verbatim quote from the applicant.

  4. System / integration

    Readiness and slot offer

    When enough requirements are confirmed, the applicant is offered interview times. A slot can't be double-booked.

  5. Human step

    Take-over triggers

    Requests for a real person, accommodation questions or policy questions go straight to a human, and the AI can be paused per applicant.

  6. Human step

    Interview and hire decision

    The trainer records interview feedback. Only the owner can approve a hire, the AI cannot mark anyone hired.

  7. System / integration

    Ramp program

    Approved reps start a daily ramp: regular check-ins and progress toward a goal, with a weekly summary for the manager.

  8. Output

    Reps who were screened and tracked

    Every hire has an application, a screening record, an interview outcome and a ramp history in one place.

The output

  • A ranked list of applicants with evidence, not a black-box score
  • Interviews booked without phone tag
  • A ramp record for each new rep

Works with your tools

Built around the CRM, calendar, phone and ad accounts you already use. We confirm access to your tools before scoping anything.

Division of labor

What the AI does, and what people do

The AI

  • Holds the screening conversation over SMS or Messenger
  • Extracts structured answers and quotes from free-text replies
  • Suggests follow-up for applicants who stall

The human

  • Defines the requirements, job-related only, never protected traits or proxies for them
  • Approves any wording about pay or terms before it is sent
  • Interviews candidates and makes every hiring decision
  • Handles accommodation, policy and "talk to a person" requests
Business impact

What changes when it runs

  • Recruiters stop screening people who were never a fit
  • Qualified applicants hear back while they are still looking
  • Hiring decisions come with the applicant's own words attached

We describe impact qualitatively until we have measured numbers. Verified figures appear on case studies only.

Who it's for

  • Organizations that grow through commission-based or 1099 sales reps
  • Door-to-door, in-home and appointment-based sales teams
  • Insurance agencies and sales organizations recruiting producers or closers

Not a fit if…

  • Hourly trade-labor hiring (licensing, payroll and safety requirements need a different process)
  • Anyone who wants automated rejection without human review

AI Recruiting Engine for a Door-to-Door Roofing Sales Team

AI Recruiting Engine: common questions

Is it legal to screen applicants with AI?

Screening against job-related requirements with a human making the decision is the design. Employment rules vary by state and are changing quickly, so the requirements and wording should be reviewed by your employment counsel before launch.

Does the AI text applicants today?

Intake and screening are live, but sending messages to applicants depends on Meta approving the app's messaging permissions and on SMS carrier registration. Until both clear, a person sends the outreach.

AI Lead Response

Re-engagement texting runs in our own businesses today. Automated texting is waiting on carrier registration, and the AI voice callback is in development.

An AI lead response system replies to every new inquiry within seconds, asks the qualifying questions you would ask, books a time with a person and keeps following up until the lead answers or opts out, then hands a qualified, summarized lead to a human.

Outbound Prospecting Engine

Running for Certified Leadz's own outbound calling. Every call is placed by a person.

An outbound prospecting engine finds businesses that match your ideal customer every night, scores them with transparent rules, removes anyone who can't legally or sensibly be called, and gives each rep a prioritized queue with a one-screen brief, so the day starts with dialing, not list-building.

Built: Built and working; not currently running in production.

Sales Call Intelligence

Built into our internal sales tooling and tested; not yet running on live calls. Real-time, during-the-call coaching is a concept, not a feature.

Sales call intelligence transcribes consented sales calls and reviews them against your own playbook, discovery questions asked, objections handled, next step set, so a manager gets a short list of coaching moments per rep instead of hours of recordings. It supports the manager; it does not replace coaching.

Coming soon: In development. Not available yet.

AI Receptionist

In development for Certified Leadz's own line. Not live yet, we'll change this label when it is answering real calls.

An AI receptionist answers the business phone line first, identifies itself as an assistant, handles routine questions, captures who is calling and why, and transfers the call, or books a callback, when a person is needed. Every call ends as a logged record with a summary.
