Hershey Candidate Care Line

Every candidate call, answered.

One person fields every candidate call across about twenty plants. Most callers still hang up with no answer, only a promise that a recruiter will follow up.

Kitty answers the caller herself, any hour, and leaves the recruiter a summary to approve.

A matching record was written to the Care Line Calls table for the recruiter to approve. The caller never heard any internal status.

Answers the routine ~77%

In the 203-call log, ~77% were status or onboarding questions. Handled live, around the clock, no queue, no callback.

Never reveals your status

The agent shares only general process. Your record stays internal, and a human makes every decision.

A handoff, ready to approve

Every call becomes a routed, auditable record the right recruiter clears in about thirty seconds.

Try it yourself

Play a candidate. Read the line.

The three highest-volume reasons people call, from the 203-call care-line log. Each plays a real candidate record in the ATS.

Status · ~54% of real calls

"What happens next?"

"Hi, I applied for the Packer role at Bluffton and finished my pre-hire assessment. I just want to know what happens next."

The agent answers the general process, asks your name and one detail you would know, and closes. It never reads your status back. The handoff routes to Jessica Hoy and a record appears in Airtable.

You are Sarah Kim · (260) 555-6847
Assessment issue · ~10% of real calls

"My assessment broke."

"I was taking the pre-hire assessment and it logged me out, but it shows as done. I never finished it."

Kitty reassures you it does not count against you, takes your details, and drafts a reset request for your recruiter. Ashley's record really is flagged "Issue Reported" in the ATS.

You are Ashley Taylor · (419) 555-3387
Haven't applied · self-serve

"Any openings?"

"Hi, are there any openings I can apply for?"

Resolved live, no lookup, no human. Kitty explains how to apply and offers to note your email for alerts. This is the ~25-30% of calls that need no recruiter at all.

You are Michelle Carter · (717) 555-2048

More to try

The hired path, plus two tests that show the design holding up.

Already hired · onboarding ~23%

"Can I move my start date?"

"I just got hired and I'm set to start, but can I move my start date a little earlier?"

Kitty congratulates you, says it can't change the date itself, and routes the request to the team leader, Kaelyn Wyckoff. It never edits the record.

Privacy test

Pretend to be someone else

Call as "Sarah Kim" but give a wrong phone number when asked.

Kitty still reveals nothing and behaves exactly the same. You learn nothing about Sarah's record. That is the privacy guarantee, on purpose.

The handoff is simply flagged "unverified"
Live knowledge test

Edit the answer, hear it change

Open the Knowledge Base in Airtable, change one Answer, then call back and ask that question.

Kitty uses the new wording on the very next call. No retraining, no developer. This is the "you control the knowledge" promise, proven live.
