AI calling agent for recruitment in Chennai

Ask in Tamil, get the real notice period.

Chennai's manufacturing and healthcare hiring runs on technician, operator and support roles where the screen is entirely factual and the candidate is very often most comfortable in Tamil. A screening call held in English does not get wrong answers so much as short ones - vague notice periods, round salary figures, and a politeness that unravels at the offer stage. Following the candidate into Tamil, in a Tamil voice, is most of what makes the screen worth running.

At a glance

	What it does	Where the edge is
When it calls	Within minutes of the application arriving	You set the window; nothing dials outside it
What it asks	Your screening questions, in the same order, every time	Facts only - it does not rate anybody
Language	Tamil and English, and it follows the candidate	It does not translate between two people
What it captures	Experience, current and expected CTC, notice period, location, shift	As fields, not as notes
Interview booking	Into the recruiters shared calendar, confirmed on WhatsApp	Only slots you have opened
Who it will not call	Anyone marked do-not-call, enforced in the query	Not in a script that could be skipped

Why the first ten minutes decide the hire

A candidate who applies at nine in the evening is not comparing your role against nothing - they are comparing it against every other application they sent that night. The recruiter who reaches them first gets the honest version of their notice period and their expectations. In Chennai, where a strong candidate can have four live processes by the weekend, that is most of the advantage there is to have. The agent is not better at this than your recruiter; it is just awake.

Chennai rings in Tamil and English

This is a city where a caller who is answered in English when they opened in Tamil will simply ring somebody else. A screening call that opens in English and cannot follow the candidate when they switch is a call that ends early. The agent picks the language from the candidate's own sentence, and Tamil is spoken in a Tamil voice rather than by a Hindi voice approximating it.

What it captures, and what it refuses to judge

It records answers as fields, not impressions. Years of experience, current and expected CTC, notice period, location, shift preference, and the one or two role-specific questions you write. It does not score communication skills, does not read enthusiasm, and does not decide who advances - a recruiter does that from a list sorted by the answers, with the transcript one click away. An agent that claims to rank candidates is claiming something it cannot support.

One fact per question - how many years in inside sales, not tell me about your background
Thresholds live in the dashboard, so the agent asks everyone the same way and the filter is applied after
The role-specific question goes last, so somebody who fails the floor is not made to explain a process
Every call ends with the interview offer or a clear the recruiter will call you - never a dead end

Inbound counts too

A job posting produces calls as well as applications, and they arrive on Friday evening. The agent answers those with the same screening questions, so an inbound candidate and an outbound one land in the same list with the same fields rather than one being a form and the other a sticky note.

Hiring in Chennai: technician roles and a Tamil-first shopfloor

Chennai's manufacturing and healthcare hiring runs on technician, operator and support roles where the screen is factual - trade, years, shift, certification - and where the candidate is very often most comfortable in Tamil. A screening call that opens in English and stays there does not get honest answers to salary and notice questions; it gets short ones. This is the clearest case for language-following anywhere in the country, and the reason Tamil is spoken here in a Tamil voice rather than approximated.

Tamil throughout where the candidate prefers it, in a Tamil voice
Trade, certification, shift and years captured identically for every applicant
Plant or site location confirmed before an interview is offered
English-medium and Tamil-medium candidates handled on the same posting

Frequently asked questions

Does it replace recruiters?

No. It handles the repetitive part - first contact, the same six questions, and booking the interview - so recruiters spend their time on the conversations that need judgement.

Which languages does it screen in?

English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi and Bengali, and it follows the candidate when they switch. In Chennai that usually means Tamil and English.

Can it call candidates outside working hours?

It calls inside the window you set. Candidates answer more readily early morning and evening, but that is your decision to make, not ours.

Does it work with our ATS?

Through webhooks, n8n or Zapier rather than native connectors. There is no native ATS integration.

What does it cost?

Rs 7,000 a month including 1,000 voice minutes, then Rs 7 a minute. Screening calls are short, so the allowance goes a long way.
