Head-to-head

    Hayes Recruiting Hub vs Double Nickel

    AI voice recruiting assistant for trucking

    Double Nickel is the closest head-to-head on AI voice — an AI recruiting assistant that calls, texts, and screens CDL applicants, then hands them to your existing ATS. Hayes runs the same AI voice screening, but the ATS, job distribution, compliance, and reporting are the same product, so the call outcome lands on the record it came from.

    Where Hayes wins

    • Multi-tenant agency model — manage every carrier client from one workspace, with branded subdomains per client.
    • Native AI voice screening (real two-way calls, English + Spanish) — not a chatbot.
    • Carrier voice cloning — record two minutes and the AI recruiter calls in your own recruiter's voice.
    • Near-instant recruiter handoff — the agent pre-alerts your team the moment a driver qualifies, then warm-transfers live.
    • Per-city job replication — edit one master template, push to hundreds of city-specific postings with full UTM attribution.
    • 100% source attribution from ad click to hire, weighted by 30/90/180-day driver retention — not just hire counts.
    • AI bid optimizer built into the ATS rather than bolted on.
    • Full ATS underneath the AI — pipeline, DOT compliance, e-sign, VOE 391, adverse action, hire and retention tracking.
    • 60+ board syndication with per-city replication, so the AI has applicants to call in the first place.
    • Measured call quality: transfer rate, voicemail rate, dead-air detection, and model bake-offs per agent.
    • Two-way integration with Tenstreet, Double Nickel, and Everest if you keep another ATS.
    • Multi-tenant agency model — one workspace, every carrier client, isolated data.

    Where Double Nickel wins

    • Single-purpose product — faster to stand up if you only want a screening layer on an ATS you already like.
    • Established integration list with several trucking ATS vendors.
    • No migration required — it sits beside your current system rather than replacing it.

    Bottom line

    If you only want AI calls bolted onto an ATS you already run, Double Nickel is a reasonable pick — we even integrate with it. If you want the AI, the ATS, the job distribution, and the attribution to be one system, that's Hayes.
