Outsourced reception vs AI phone system
Which phone system should you choose for your recruitment business?
| Criteria | Outsourced reception | Kalyvox AI Phone System |
|---|---|---|
| Availability | Business hours only | 24/7 |
| Monthly cost | $800–$1,500/mo | From $95/mo + usage |
| Call qualification | Simple message taking | Intent detection + criteria extraction |
| Customisation | Fixed script | Dynamic questions adapted to context |
| Appointment booking | Manual, depends on staff availability | Synced calendar, booked during the call |
| Setup time | 1 to 2 weeks | 15 minutes |
| Simultaneous call capacity | Limited to number of operators | Unlimited |
Sync your calendar, book appointments during the call
Connect your Google Calendar: the phone assistant knows your recruitment availability in real time, offers time slots and confirms the appointment without any callback from you.
Calendar sync
Connect Google Calendar in a few clicks. Existing events are taken into account, so double bookings never happen.
Live slot suggestions
During the call, the assistant reads your real availability and offers the next slots that fit your opening hours and service durations.
Your rules, your limits
Appointment types, durations, minimum notice, allowed windows: you set the frame. Choose firm confirmation or pre-booking pending your approval.
Automatic confirmation
The appointment lands in your calendar, is summarised in the qualified call and your team is notified by email or SMS.
Sample call
"I can offer you Thursday 2:30pm or Friday 9:00am. Does Thursday 2:30pm work? Great, it is booked — you will get a confirmation by text."
And everything flows back into your tools
The appointment lands in your calendar, the request in your CRM, and your call statistics are available inside ChatGPT.
