Overview
We help staffing agencies place more people without burning out their team.
Blue-collar isn't being replaced by AI. The people who work with their hands are becoming more valuable, not less. But the way agencies reach them hasn't kept up. Frontline candidates don't sit at desks or check their email. They're on their phone, approached by three agencies at once, and the slowest one loses. Ringtime is the AI screening agent that closes that gap.
The moment a candidate matches a vacancy in your ATS, we reach them on phone and WhatsApp, in their language, at the right time. We run the screening conversation and book a meeting with your consultant. Everything lands back in your ATS, ready to use.
What makes Ringtime different: • Built for frontline reality: phone and WhatsApp, outside office hours, 22+ European languages, real conversations instead of forms. • Plugs into Bullhorn, Connexys, Carerix and BrightStaffing. No migration, live in weeks. • Built for Europe, GDPR compliant by default.
Waiting two days to follow up on a candidate isn't more human. It's just slower.

Career history
In the news
- Vincent Theeten and I pitched at Deloitte Rising Star yesterday. I really liked the challenge: no slides, 2 minutes, a jury in a line in front of us. Good exercise. Pitch something you know inside out, down to details you'd normally only discuss with people from the staffing industry. Here's what we told them: The world as we know it is changing rapidly because of AI. Every bit of knowledge work is getting automated, yet every job related to manual labour stays vitally important. 80% of the world's workforce works with their
- Candidate conversations live all over the place. The ATS gets the end result, sometimes. 😏 Now it is all there and nobody had to fill in a field.
- It felt shorter and longer at the same time. Ringtime turned one this week. There are plenty of do's and don'ts podcasts out there. So I am just sharing a few things. We started product-led, followed the customers who actually paid and ended up in mid-market staffing. Agencies hiring blue-collar workers at scale. Over 50,000 candidates screened so far. It is a space dominated by legacy players that were mostly built for white-collar laptop jobs. So we adapt constantly and go deeper into whatever seems to work best. The hard part is
- Proud to see Belgium entering the big leagues - $50M series A is a large round by any standards. Go go go Conveo, make us proud!
- We did not talk about strategy once at last week's offsite. I'm serious. We did that the week before, so the whole day was building. Three questions: - Can we build a working prototype of a new product direction? - Can we build a landing page to sell it? - Can we build the onboarding material to get it in the hands of customers? Yes on all three. And more to come soon. 🤩 This gives so much more energy than another deck of strategy slides. Btw, last day to vote for Ringtime at the HR tech awards by HRmagazine.
- Logi-technic screens electricians, mechanics and field service technicians. Every applicant now gets screened and qualified the moment they apply, over WhatsApp and phone. COO Lies Dumarey sat down with founder Diederik Syoen to walk through the setup: what runs on WhatsApp, what runs on a call and what her recruiters said when the AI arrived. Full interview on our blog and YouTube.
- A person listens, interprets and then has to write it down from memory. Things get lost. With AI, what the candidate says is what ends up in the ATS. One to one, almost perfectly." That's Lies Dumarey, COO at Logi-technic. I talked to Lies about their screening flow & why they turned to Ringtime to screen and qualify their candidates the moment they apply. We also covered: • Why the yes-or-no questions go over WhatsApp and the nuance goes to a call • What she told her recruiters when they asked if their job disappears • Why she
- I used to tell my teams that awards are mainly a way to sell expensive tables in a nice Brussels venue. Then somebody asks you to apply for one. And I did. 🫣 Because as a founder you'll do anything for a few extra impressions on somebody's LinkedIn feed. Ringtime is selected for the HR Tech Awards by HRmagazine And yes, it feels good. Congrats to the other nominees. Nice to see companies like WARREN, Goodshift, Peepel & Wintro on the same list. Feels good to be in their company. Bam, just added some more reach. If you want to vote
