What the phone looks like for a Reading recruitment agency
Reading and the wider Berkshire has a population of around 350,000, built on technology, professional services and some of the most expensive property outside London. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a recruitment agency working across Caversham, Earley and Tilehurst most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
Both sides of your market ring several agencies, and the placement goes to whoever answered.
Callwise answers on your own 0118 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.

Reading recruitment agencies ask us
Do we keep our 0118 number?
Yes. Your existing 0118 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Reading customers reach you changes.
Do you work with recruitment agencies outside Reading?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Reading and everywhere across Berkshire is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
Which calls matter most?
Client vacancies, and they are the easiest to lose because they come in while every consultant is already on the phone.
Can it screen candidates?
It asks your qualifying questions and records the answers, so consultants only ring back people worth ringing.
What about early morning temp cover?
Six in the morning is when shifts fall through, and it answers then as readily as at midday.
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Reading customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
