Hiring in construction has always been tough. Finding welders, drill operators, HVAC techs, project administrators and supervisors usually means long hours writing job ads, posting on boards, sorting résumés, playing phone tag and hoping the right people answer.

Cantaloupe AI's agent Clio makes finding quality skilled laborers easier than ever.

Clio is an AI voice recruiter that helps you fill skilled roles faster. She learns about your company, your values, and the kind of people who thrive on your teams. When you create a role, Clio knows where to look. She taps into everything from major job sites like Indeed to local boards such as WorkNOLA and industry networks across the country. Every applicant is invited to a short voice interview that lets them share more than a résumé ever could.

Clio listens for personality fit, problem solving ability, safety mindset and staying power. She uses what she has learned from your past successful hires to rate each candidate. Each day, the top five applicants appear in a decision maker’s inbox with audio clips, scores and one click next steps. No more hunting through résumés. No more chasing phone calls. Just the best people, ready for you to move forward.

Our first construction pilot began this summer with NuLine Utility Services, a 200 person natural gas utility contractor in Louisiana. In the first month with Clio:

  • Time to hire dropped from 25 days to 14

  • Forty five manager hours were given back to the business

  • Candidate experience jumped, with a +75 NPS and a 4.7 out of 5 rating from job seekers

This is hiring that keeps projects moving. Faster staffing means schedules stay on track, budgets stay in control and expensive staffing agencies become less necessary.

Now is the right time. Skilled trades are growing again and more people are entering the field, but the old way of hiring cannot keep up. Voice AI makes it possible to give every applicant a fair first interview instantly and surface the right ones for you to act on. You get speed, accuracy and the human insight that matters.

If your team needs to fill skilled roles and field supervisors quickly, Clio was built for you.
