Executive problem statement
Every national telco has the same frontline hiring problem
High-volume frontline hiring, technician shortages and call-centre attrition collide with a manual funnel. A VP of Customer Care needs 200 contact centre agents before Black Friday — today that takes 8–10 weeks and thousands of manual resume reviews.
Recruiters manually review thousands of resumes
Hiring managers spend hours in first-round interviews
Qualified candidates drop out mid-funnel
Time-to-fill exceeds 45–90 days
Technician shortages and call-centre attrition compound
Screening quality is inconsistent across regions
Scene 2 & 3 · Autonomous recruiting
The VP of Customer Care asks. The agent workforce executes.
One natural-language request activates twelve agents. Requisitions are created, candidates sourced, interviews run and offers built — with human approval gates preserved.

Hi Sarah — thanks for choosing Interview Now. A customer calls in, third time this month about the same billing error, and they're furious. Walk me through your first 60 seconds.
Sarah Johnson
First I'd let them finish without interrupting, then acknowledge that three calls is genuinely unacceptable. I'd confirm I own it end to end, read back the charge, and tell them exactly what I'm doing before I do it — silence is what makes people angrier.
TalentScout AI
Good. Now they say their internet drops every evening around 8pm. How do you troubleshoot on the call?
Sarah Johnson
Evening-only points to congestion or interference rather than a hard fault. I'd check modem signal levels and outage history, ask about the 2.4GHz band and nearby devices, and if levels look bad I'd book a technician rather than have them keep calling back.

Rationale: de-escalates by acknowledging failure and taking ownership; diagnoses intermittent connectivity by pattern rather than script; bilingual capability meets Atlantic Canada coverage requirement.
