How it works

How staffing lead referral software works

Earshot is staffing lead referral software built around SMS — the one channel every field worker already uses. Here's how a $25,000 placement goes from earshot to closed deal in six steps.

From a 60-second text to a closed placement

No new apps. No portals. No change management. Earshot runs quietly in the background of how your staffing firm already operates.

1. Enroll your field workers

Upload a CSV of your contractors and field workers. Each receives a personal welcome text. No app downloads, no logins, no onboarding meetings.

2. Workers text a tip to a shared number

Any time they hear about an opening, a competitor losing a contract, or a hiring freeze lifting, they text (571) 290-2966. Plain conversational English.

3. AI extracts and structures the lead

Our AI lead parsing engine pulls out company, contact, role, urgency, and dollar potential — then asks one or two smart follow-up questions over SMS.

4. Smart routing to the right BD rep

Healthcare leads go to your healthcare rep. IT goes to IT. Light industrial to light industrial. Round-robin or named owner — fully configurable.

5. BD closes the deal

The lead drops into your existing CRM (Bullhorn, HubSpot, Salesforce) with full context — including the original text so reps can hear the worker's voice.

6. Worker gets paid automatically

When the placement closes, Earshot tracks the payout and notifies the worker. Leaderboards keep momentum going across your whole roster.
