Where Sam helps

Follow-up that keeps your pipeline moving

Recruiting runs on timing. These are the moments where a quick, personal touch keeps candidates engaged and clients confident in you.

Applicants hear back right away

When someone applies at 9 p.m., Sam replies within minutes, asks a few screening questions, and shares a link to book a call.

Calls get answered while you're on another one

The AI receptionist picks up when you're in the middle of a screen, answers common questions, and books a callback. If a call is missed, a text goes out right away.

Interviews stay on the calendar

Candidates and hiring managers get confirmations and reminders, and rescheduling takes a few taps instead of a string of emails.

Your talent pool stays warm

Strong candidates who didn't land the last role hear from you about new openings, so your next search doesn't start from scratch.

Hiring managers stay in the loop

Status updates and check-ins go out on schedule, so you stay top of mind when their next opening comes up.

Placements get a proper follow-up

The people you place get a check-in after their first 30 days, and clients get a review request once the role is filled.

A week with Sam

What a week with Virtual SAM could look like

Every recruiter works a little differently, and Sam adapts to you. Here's one example of how the pieces work together.

This is an illustrative example, not a specific client's results.

  1. Monday

    A candidate applies to your posting at 10 p.m. Sam replies within minutes, asks three screening questions, and books a phone screen for Tuesday.

  2. Tuesday

    You're on a call when a hiring manager rings about a new role. Sam answers, takes the details, and books a kickoff call for Wednesday.

  3. Wednesday

    Your shortlisted candidates get interview confirmations, and the hiring manager gets a reminder with the schedule.

  4. Thursday

    Strong candidates from last month's search get a text about the new role, with a link to book a quick call.

  5. Friday morning

    Someone you placed last month gets a 30-day check-in, and their manager gets a short note asking how things are going.

  6. Friday afternoon

    Your monthly newsletter goes out to your candidate list with new openings and a few interview tips.
