Cut first-screen workload for hourly, high-volume, and skilled-trades roles. Describe the role, invite candidates to structured SAM interviews by email, and review transcripts and reports before your team decides who advances.
AI handles the first screen. Your team decides who advances and who is hired.
Hourly and skilled-trades hiring rarely stalls for lack of applicants. It stalls on first-screen workload, slow follow-up, and screening that changes from one manager to the next.
Every open role brings a stack of applicants, and someone has to run each first screen before anyone can be shortlisted.
The same roles come back every few weeks. Rebuilding the brief and the screening questions each time wastes hiring-manager hours.
Good hourly candidates move on quickly. Slow invitations and back-and-forth before a first conversation cost you people you wanted.
Each role has its own location, experience, and requirement mix. Without structured screening, different managers judge candidates in different ways.
Only capabilities that are live in ConnectDevs today. Your team decides who advances.

Hiring decisions stay with people; ConnectDevs organizes evidence for accountable review.
Network coverage uses the centralized claim: 800M+ public professional profiles. Pricing starts at published rates on /pricing ($99/mo).
AI recruiting software for frontline hiring should help employers turn a repeat role into a consistent brief, invite applicants quickly, run the same structured first-round questions for every candidate, and return reviewable evidence, while the hiring team decides who advances.

An AI recruiter for frontline hiring is software that helps employers move hourly, high-volume, and skilled-trades roles through search, invitations, and first-round screening with less repetitive work. ConnectDevs supports that early funnel with role-context search, shortlist review, approved email outreach, and SAM structured interviews, while your hiring team decides who advances.
Instead of running every first screen by phone or in person, you can send candidates a secure interview link via email or use bulk invites for a whole cohort. SAM asks the same role-specific questions each time, and your team reviews transcripts and reports to decide who moves forward.
Yes. The same workflow covers technical, non-technical, and skilled-trade roles, with search and interview criteria tailored to each job. Search across 800M+ public professional profiles is most useful where candidates have a public professional footprint, such as experienced technicians, supervisors, and team leads. For roles where many applicants have little public profile data, the main value is structured SAM screening of the candidates you already have.
Candidates receive a secure interview link via email and complete a structured, role-specific interview with SAM. Your team then gets structured role-specific interview evidence for recruiter review, including transcripts and summaries, before anyone decides who advances.
No. ConnectDevs does not offer SMS or WhatsApp screening, phone-call screening, or interview scheduling. Interview invitations are sent by email, and SAM interviews are currently conducted in English. If your frontline process depends on text-based apply or shift scheduling, plan to keep those steps in your existing tools.
No. ConnectDevs does not reject, hire, or onboard candidates on its own, and it does not run background checks or verify licenses or certifications. It organizes job-related evidence so your team can review candidates consistently. Hiring decisions stay with people.
Pick one role you hire for repeatedly and run it through the workflow for 14 days with a written definition of who should advance. Track first-screen hours, candidates invited, interviews completed, candidates your team advances, and total platform cost, and compare against your current process.
Plans start at $99/month with transparent, flat-rate pricing. No hidden fees, no per-hire commissions, and no percentage-based markups. You can upgrade or downgrade anytime — no contracts or commitments. Review current plans, credits, and seats on the ConnectDevs pricing page.
