Your desk fills roles all day. Winning the order is the hard part.
Simmie is AI sales training built for staffing agencies. Your team practices the calls that win job orders and protect margin - cold outreach, rate negotiation, direct-hire saves - out loud, on their phone, and gets scored on every one.
Up to 5 on the desk · No contract · Set up in an afternoon
One week of calls
ExampleThree won. Three gone. The three that walked were margin left on the phone - by recruiters who never practiced the pushback once.
You track submittals and spread. Who coaches the call that sets them?
A real call, not a quiz
Your team talks to a live AI hiring manager
No multiple choice, no reading scripts. The recruiter picks up the phone, an AI hiring manager answers, and they run the real conversation out loud - the cold open, the rate pushback, the direct-hire save - until they can handle it clean.
- AI clients built for cold outreach, rate talks, and retention calls
- Practice out loud on any phone, between submittals or before a BD block
- Scored on every call so you see who wins orders and who discounts margin

The ROI is in the spread
Practice doesn't move a vanity metric. It moves the three numbers that decide what a desk is worth.
Job orders won
More live reqs from the same call list is the top of the entire margin funnel
Gross margin
One recruiter who defends markup pays for the team plan in a single placement
Fill & redeploy
Redeploying benched contractors is pure margin - if the call actually gets made
Calls your desk makes every day
Not generic sales roleplay. These are built from the way staffing actually gets sold and kept.
The cold client outreach
The hiring manager has three agencies already and thirty seconds of patience. Open weak and you're voicemail forever. This is the call that turns a name on a list into a live job order.
“We already work with a couple of agencies, so we're good.”
The rate negotiation
They want your candidate at a lower markup, and your recruiter wants to say yes just to close it. Every point of margin given away here comes straight off the agency's bottom line.
“The other shop quoted me two points lower on the markup.”
The “we'll go direct” save
The contractor's been great, so the client wants to convert them and cut you out. Handled well it's a conversion fee and a stronger relationship. Handled badly it's a lost account.
“They're doing great - we're just going to bring them on ourselves.”
The end-of-contract redeploy
A contract is wrapping and a good contractor is about to hit the bench. Redeploying them into the next order is the highest-margin placement an agency makes - and the easiest one to let slip.
“My assignment ends Friday. Do you have anything else?”
Three steps, one afternoon
Tell it what you place
Drop in your verticals, your bill rates, and your markup targets. Simmie builds the calls around your desk - light industrial, clerical, IT, healthcare - so practice sounds like your agency.
Your team practices
Real voice, out loud, on a phone. Five minutes between submittals. The hiring manager on the other end stalls, shops your rate, and threatens to go direct like the real ones do.
You see the scorecard
Every call is scored on qualifying, rate defense, and the close. One screen shows who's winning job orders and who's discounting margin away to get to yes.
One price. Whole desk.
No per-seat math, no annual contract, no implementation call before you're allowed to use it. That's about $70 a recruiter - less than a week of margin on one placement.

What agency owners ask first
My recruiters can already work a desk.
Sourcing isn't the gap. Opening a cold hiring manager, defending markup without caving, and saving a 'we'll go direct' account - that's the sales skill that grows margin, and it's the part nobody drills.
When would they practice between submittals?
A practice call runs about five minutes on a phone. Between candidate calls, before a BD block, or first thing before the desk gets loud. There's no classroom and nothing to schedule.
Does this work for both BD and account management?
Yes. The scenarios cover cold client outreach, rate negotiation, redeployment, and retention saves - the full arc from first call to a client that keeps coming back.
Do I have to build the scenarios myself?
No. Point it at your verticals and bill rates and the calls build themselves - cold outreach, markup pushback, direct-hire saves. Adjust the wording anytime.
Win more orders off the same call list
Same clients. Same recruiters. The difference is whether they've handled the markup pushback a hundred times before the hiring manager brings it up.
