Hire a Cold Caller for Staffing & Recruiting
$1,500 to set up. $6,000 per block of qualified meetings. When a block is delivered, the next one starts.
The Staffing & Recruiting block contains 20 qualified, held meetings at $300 per meeting.
One trained caller works two campaigns. Yours gets half of every working day: about 75 dials, 20 working days a month, roughly 1,500 dials per block. The campaign also includes a new list for the block, provisioned business numbers, the dialer, recordings, CRM notes, calendar booking, and a Friday report.
SalesHive and Martal estimated a fully loaded in-house SDR at $100,000–$210,000 a year in 2026, while The Bridge Group reported a ramp of about three months in 2025. The caller needs daily access to current job signals, the roles the agency can place, territory rules, and the meeting calendar. Thaw combines those items with a recorded call workflow.
Who we call
Hiring managers and HR at companies with open roles found on job boards.
Where the list comes from
Public job boards, company careers pages, state business registrations, and business directories. We match an open role to the hiring company, then verify the hiring or HR contact and phone number.
The meeting we book
staffing needs call
The hiring or HR contact confirms an open role that fits the agreed placement scope and accepts a staffing needs call with the client.
Planning math for one block
75 dials/day × 20 days = 1,500 dials → 180 connects → 90 conversations → 20 meetings
The assumptions are a 12% connect rate (Gong, accessed 2026; Cognism, 2026) and a 22.2% set rate from conversations (Belkins, 2025; The Bridge Group, 2025). These are planning inputs, not campaign results.
Sample opener
- 00:00:02Hi {first_name}, I am calling for {client_company}.
- 00:00:14I saw that {company} is hiring a {role_title}.
- 00:00:26We recruit for that type of role in {market}.
- 00:00:38Would a short call about the role, timing, and candidate requirements be useful?
