Candidates don't answer
A recruiter's call gets lost among unknown numbers, and the best talent moves on to another process.

Koll for recruitment
Reach the right talent before your competitor does.
A candidate won't answer an unknown number in the middle of their workday. Koll tells them upfront that the call is about their application or a career opportunity. Every contact is based on the customer's own request or consent — and the reason is visible before they answer.

What it costs you right now
Candidate experience suffers
A missed call and an unclear approach give candidates a careless impression of the employer.
Headhunting is slow
A passive candidate doesn't recognize the caller and doesn't know whether the call is worth answering.
Here's how Koll solves it in recruitment
The first contact becomes part of your employer brand: the candidate sees the company, the recruiter, and the topic.
- The candidate can see the call is about their application
- In headhunting, the company name builds credibility instantly
- The same identity for internal recruiters and partner agencies
- No app required for candidates
Examples of call reasons
Application
TalentPro – regarding your application
Interview

Headhunting

Offer

What changes

Where Koll helps in practice
Processing applications
The first contact with the candidate is fast and recognizable.
Scheduling an interview
Scheduling doesn't turn into an endless message thread.
Headhunting
A passive candidate sees the company name and decides the call is worth answering.
Job offer
At the offer stage, a fast connection decides who lands the talent.
High-volume recruitment
Reaching seasonal workers improves as call rounds get shorter.
Onboarding and start date
Start-date confirmations get through on the first attempt.

- Candidate experience and contact history stay with the company

How Koll fits your current workflow
Your ATS stays the same
Koll doesn't replace your recruitment system – it improves call reachability.
Agencies and partners
Partners can call under their own verified identity.
Employer brand
Every call becomes a brand touchpoint instead of an unknown number.
Privacy and control
Koll is built for the European regulatory environment. Your company decides who may call in its name and what the recipient sees.
- Service delivered within the EU
- Candidates' personal data is not shown to recipients
- Call content is not recorded
- Message templates managed by the employer
Principles of ethical calling
Wanted contact isn't a marketing promise. It's the rule Koll is built on.
Cold calling breaks trust in both directions. Koll is built so the recipient always knows who is calling and why — and decides for themselves how to respond.
We don't call anonymously
The company and the caller are verified. Recipients see a real company and a real person, not a random number.
We don't call without a reason
Every contact carries a reason that is visible before the call is answered. No reason, no call.
The recipient decides
Customers can answer, move the contact to a better moment or decline — without having to pick up the phone.
We don't listen or record
Call content is never recorded or analysed. The service is delivered in the EU and each company manages its own users and data.
