If you’ve been in driver recruiting for more than a day, you know that inbound calls are gold. They’re your best, lowest-cost leads. When a driver calls you, you know they’re interested and ready to talk about your jobs right now.
So what’s the deal with all these missed phone calls?
Research shows that 61% of drivers’ first move when they’re interested in a job is to call, but a staggering 70% of those calls never get connected with a recruiter.
That’s like taking easy money and setting it on fire.
And if you miss that chance to talk to them, they’re gone forever because we know that drivers are talking with 6-7 fleets when they consider making a change in scenery.
Look, we get it. Recruiting teams are spread thin and even the strongest operations can’t answer every single call, especially if they come in on weekends or after hours.
…Or can you?
I’m pleased to introduce you to Stratas Agent, the first ever AI-powered call agent built specifically to talk to drivers.
Gone are the days of missed calls and leaving cash on the table.
It answers every call, day or night, captures crucial caller info, and pushes leads directly into your ATS for your recruiters.
What Makes It Different
Stratas Agent isn’t just another mindless chatbot or automation add-on. It’s a recruiting AI voice agent that’s trained on decades of driver recruiting experience, built from the ground up to “speak driver,” stay on message, and capture data that help your recruiters drive real outcomes.
Here’s what sets it apart:
- Always on: It answers every call and click-to-call ad 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
- Connected to your systems: It integrates directly with your ATS and works within your existing tech stack.
- Captures and converts: Driver info is captured instantly and pushed into your ATS, so you never waste time chasing voicemails or tracking down basic information.
- Answers with accuracy: It responds to driver questions using your fleet details, even the niche ones, then passes the info to your ATS where your filtering rules are applied.
- Triggers follow-up: Automatically launches SMS, email, or retargeting flows based on the outcome of the conversation.
And yes, it records and summarizes every call, so your team has full visibility.
Early Results
In early deployments, Stratas Agent is converting 60% of inbound calls into ATS records.
For context, over 70% of driver calls never actually talk to a recruiter, and more than half of those drivers never call back.
By closing this gap, Stratas Agent has helped fleets double their qualified applications just by making sure that every call is getting answered.
And because it engages with drivers using YOUR brand’s voice and pre-approved messaging, it actually keeps drivers in the funnel instead of pushing them away with robotic responses or generic scripts.
Why Now?
Driver intent is still high, but budgets are under pressure. Every lead is getting more expensive to generate.
In that environment, you can’t afford to waste leads.
Stratas Agent protects every dollar you spend on recruiting by turning more of those inbound calls, the ones you’re already paying for, into actual candidates. It gives you coverage when your team is off the clock, overloaded, or pulled into other priorities.
That’s not just helpful. That’s essential when every missed call equals a missed hire and a sunk cost.
