AI Roleplay Training for Staffing & Recruiting
Every call is revenue. Train recruiters to source candidates, develop clients, and close deals faster — without burning real relationships while they learn.
Used by sales reps at leading companies
The Staffing Training Challenge
In staffing, every conversation is a revenue opportunity — or a burned relationship. New recruiters need hundreds of reps before they get good, but you can't afford to let them practice on real candidates and clients.
Burned Relationships
One bad candidate call poisons the talent pool. One fumbled client call loses a $50K placement. The stakes are too high for on-the-job learning.
Desk Time Drain
Senior recruiters can't coach while they're billing. Every hour spent training is an hour not spent on their own desk, which means lost revenue.
Inconsistent Quality
Every recruiter develops their own style. Without standardized training, candidate experience and client interactions vary wildly across the team.
Pre-Built Staffing Scenarios
Practice the exact conversations that drive revenue in staffing and recruiting.
Candidate Sourcing Calls
Practice cold outreach to passive candidates. Handle the 'I'm not looking' objection and uncover hidden interest.
Client Development Calls
Win new business from hiring managers. Qualify needs, differentiate from competitors, and secure job orders.
Fee Negotiations
Hold your fee against pushback. Practice value articulation when clients demand lower rates.
Candidate Presentation
Sell your candidates effectively. Present qualifications, address concerns, and secure interviews.
Counter-Offer Handling
Keep candidates committed when counter-offers arrive. Practice the conversations that prevent fall-offs.
Account Management
Expand existing client relationships. Practice cross-selling additional services and securing exclusives.
Realistic Candidate & Client Personas
AI personas that behave like real candidates and hiring managers — with the objections, skepticism, and behaviors your recruiters face daily.
The Passive Candidate
Happy in current role, not actively looking, skeptical of recruiters
The Hiring Manager
Overwhelmed, skeptical of agencies, had bad experiences before
The Gatekeeper
Protective of their boss's time, screens all recruiting calls
The Fee Negotiator
Likes your candidates but wants to cut your rate by 5%
The Counter-Offer Risk
Excited about your opportunity but loyal to current employer
The Competitor User
Already working with three other agencies on the same search

Here's what a candidate sourcing call looks like with Simmie.
Hello? Look, I'm kind of busy right now. I'm not really looking for a new job.
I completely understand — I'll be brief. I came across your background in supply chain management and wanted to share a Director role with a company that's growing 40% year over year. Even if the timing isn't right now, would you be open to a quick conversation?
40% growth? That is interesting. But I just got a promotion six months ago. I'd feel bad leaving so soon.
That's a fair point, and it speaks well of your loyalty. Can I ask — in that new role, do you feel like you're being challenged, or is there something you were hoping to get from the promotion that hasn't materialized?
Honestly? The title changed but the scope didn't really expand. And there's no path to VP here — the family owns all those spots.
This conversation continues with qualification, salary expectations, and commitment to next steps.
Scoring Rubrics Built for Staffing
Generic sales training doesn't work for recruiters. Our rubrics are designed around the specific skills that drive placements.
Candidate Qualification
Did they uncover availability, salary expectations, and motivation to move?
Job Order Quality
Did they capture the must-haves, nice-to-haves, and deal-breakers?
Fee Protection
Did they hold firm on rate or cave to pressure?
Commitment Securing
Did they get clear next steps and timeline commitments?
