Nobody reaches voicemail
It answers on the first ring at 9pm on a Sunday, during the lunch rush, and while you are already on the other line.
A phone number that screens
your job applicants.
Put it on your window sign. When someone calls about the job, an AI asks the questions you wrote, in English or Spanish, scores them out of 100, and texts you the ones worth calling back. You read a ranked list instead of playing phone tag.
Free, no account. Type your questions, call the line, get your score. $29.99/month to put it in your window, cancel anytime. A free printed hiring sign ships within 1 business day.

Proof
One sign in a mountain town. 39 people called.

Why it matters
The missed call is the whole problem
Hourly candidates apply to several places in an afternoon and take the first job that answers. If your phone rings while you are on the line, plating food, or closing out a register, that applicant does not leave a voicemail and try again tomorrow. They call the shop down the street.
Job boards do not fix this, because the bottleneck was never getting applicants. It is getting back to them fast enough to matter. A number that picks up every time, screens in the applicant's own language, and hands you a ranked list is worth more than another listing on another site.
Somebody has to answer, or you never hear from them again.
What changes
Every applicant who calls gets screened and scored
You write the screening questions
One to five, in your own words. You can change them whenever you want, and the next caller gets the new ones.
Spanish speakers apply too
The screening runs in either language and the summary comes back in English, so every candidate reads the same way to you.
Applicants who will not call can still apply
Print the number, or the QR code to your job page. Someone who applies on the page is scored the same way and lands in the same ranked list.
One flat price
$29.99 a month, however many people call. No fee per applicant, no fee per seat, no annual contract.
It never rejects anyone
The score sorts the list, but every caller stays in your dashboard with their full transcript, so you can disagree with it.
Your dashboard
Everyone who called, in the order worth calling back
Phone applicants and web applicants land in one list with the transcript attached. The questions are yours: the AI asks the ones you typed, in the order you put them, and nothing else.

Questions
The things owners ask before they sign up
Anything else, call the demo line and ask the AI, or write to [email protected].
What actually happens when someone calls?
The AI greets them and asks your screening questions in order. It records the answers, writes a transcript and a short summary, scores the applicant, and notifies you. It takes about two minutes.
Does it work in Spanish?
Yes. Applicants can be screened in English or Spanish, and Spanish answers come back summarised in English so you can read every candidate the same way. Your public job pages have a language toggle too.
What if applicants would rather not call?
Every job also gets a public page at myfriendlystaff.com/your-business/the-job, with a QR code you can print. Phone applicants and web applicants land in the same list, scored the same way, so you are not checking two places.
What does it cost?
$29.99 a month, flat, and that is the only price. Cancel any time. No fee per applicant, no per seat pricing, no setup fee and no contract.
Do I have to change how I already hire?
No. It replaces the voicemail box, not your process. You still decide who to interview and who to hire. The difference is that you see every applicant who called, instead of the ones who happened to catch you free.
Who decides what the AI asks?
You do. You write the questions during setup, anywhere from 1 to 5 of them, and the AI asks those in the order you put them. You can change them any time from your dashboard: rewrite one, delete one, add your own. The change applies to the next caller.
How long does setup take?
You enter your shop name and the job title, pay, and your number is live. Editing the screening questions takes another couple of minutes. Most owners are taking screened calls the same day.
