New Orleans, LA — October 2025Cantaloupe AI announced new performance results from its customer pilots, confirming that small businesses can now achieve enterprise-grade recruiting speed and efficiency without enterprise complexity or cost. Using Cantaloupe’s automated voice AI recruiter, Clio, customers cut hiring times by over 35%, saved more than 24 manager hours in the first month, and achieved a 75% candidate compatibility rate—all without adding HR staff or software overhead.
Across recent pilots in hospitality, construction, and field services, Cantaloupe’s customers experienced:
For a small business, those gains translate directly into operational impact. Fewer lost shifts, faster onboarding, and fewer bad hires—all driven by the same data and automation workflows once reserved for enterprise HR platforms.
Cantaloupe’s AI recruiter automates sourcing, first-round interviews, and candidate scoring. Within 24 hours of launch, it distributes job posts, conducts voice interviews, and delivers daily ranked reports to managers. Every step that normally costs hours of back-and-forth is handled automatically, freeing operators to focus on customers and operations.
The company’s design philosophy is simple: powerful technology should not require a learning curve. Businesses get live in under 48 hours, no new software or training required.
Cantaloupe’s success with early adopters in Louisiana and Texas is proving that advanced AI can deliver fast, measurable ROI at small-business scale. With monthly plans starting at $2,000, customers routinely recover costs within a single quarter through reduced labor waste and lower turnover.
“Every small business deserves the same recruiting power that Fortune 500 companies take for granted,” said Rich Simmerman, CEO of Cantaloupe AI. “We’ve proven that AI can save time, reduce costs, and deliver qualified hires without adding complexity or overhead. That’s the kind of technology transformation Main Street actually needs.”
Cantaloupe AI is expanding to additional regions and verticals in 2026, focused on delivering intelligent, automated hiring pipelines for high-turnover industries.
