ATS Mako
Purpose-Built for Staffing at Scale

Fill Every Shift. At Volume. Same Day.

The high-volume applicant tracking system for warehouse, light-industrial, and call-center staffing teams that move hundreds of applicants at once, text-blast open shifts, and AI voice-screen the pile - in one branded platform.

30-day free trial. No setup fees, no long-term contracts.

The high-volume reality

High turnover. Same-day fills. A pile that never stops.

Light-industrial, warehouse, and call-center staffing does not fail on strategy - it fails on speed. A traditional ATS built for slow, deliberate hiring buckles the moment a job board dumps a thousand applicants and a client needs fifty bodies by Monday.

Churn

The roster is always leaking

Workers leave as fast as you place them. Every empty seat is a shift your team is racing to backfill before the client notices.

Speed

Same-day means minutes, not hours

When three people call out before a shift, the agency that texts the pool first wins the coverage. Phone tag loses.

Volume

Thousands of applicants, no time to read

Reading every resume by hand is impossible at volume. Strong candidates cool off in the queue while recruiters sort.

Built for the rush

Four tools that turn volume into filled shifts

Every feature here earns its place in a high-volume workflow. No admin busywork - just speed at scale.

Bulk Actions at Scale

Move hundreds of applicants with one click

When a job board dumps 400 warehouse applicants overnight, you do not touch them one at a time. Select the whole segment, advance the pipeline stage, fire an SMS, assign a screening task, or reject the unqualified - in a single bulk action. What used to eat an afternoon of clicking is a five-second sweep.

-> One action. Hundreds of records. Zero backlog.

Communication Engine (SMS-first)

Text-blast open shifts and fill them same-day

Three lines call out sick before a Monday shift. Blast a two-way SMS to your qualified segment and watch replies land in one centralized inbox. Workers confirm from their phone, you lock coverage in minutes. Texts honor quiet hours and automatic opt-out handling by default, so volume outreach stays TCPA-clean.

-> Message, move, and manage thousands of candidates instantly.

AI Voice Call Screening

Pre-screen the pile without burning recruiter hours

High volume means most applicants never pass the first questions. AI voice call screening runs those questions - shift availability, transportation, right-to-work, physical requirements - across hundreds of applicants at once, then hands recruiters a shortlist that already qualifies. Your team spends its hours closing, not dialing dead numbers.

-> Screen volume without adding headcount.

Template Library

Reusable outreach that deploys everywhere at once

High-volume hiring runs on repeatable messages: the shift-open blast, the interview reminder, the no-show follow-up, the onboarding checklist. Build them once with merge fields like {{first_name}} and {{position}}, lock the legal and EEO sections, and update-once-deploy-everywhere across every location and recruiter.

-> Update once, deploy everywhere.

From post to onboarded

Post, blast, screen, onboard 50 in a day

This is the loop your team runs during a hiring rush - end to end, in one platform, without dropping a candidate between tools.

  1. 01

    Post the req and capture applicants automatically

    The warehouse role goes live on your branded Apply Here page and connected job boards. Every submission becomes an applicant record instantly - smart source and job-posting matching, no manual uploads, no resumes stranded in an inbox.

  2. 02

    Blast the shift by SMS to the right segment

    Build a dynamic audience - workers within range, matching availability, cleared to start - and send one two-way text blast. Replies stream into a single conversational inbox where the whole team can respond without losing context.

  3. 03

    Auto-screen the volume with AI voice calls

    While replies come in, AI voice call screening runs your qualifying questions across the responders. Applicants who clear the bar get ranked and surfaced; the rest are filtered out before a recruiter ever picks up the phone.

  4. 04

    Onboard 50 in a day with guided checklists

    Cleared workers move in bulk into onboarding. A guided checklist collects the details you need, tasks auto-assign to your team, and offers go out on your logo and domain. A crew that took a week to stand up gets started in a single shift.

The math at scale

What consolidation buys back at volume

High-volume hiring rewards the fewest steps between an applicant and a filled shift. Fewer tools, fewer clicks, more coverage.

0
Disconnected tools replaced

ATS Mako consolidates SMS, email, scheduling, and tracking into one white-label platform - so recruiters stop tab-hopping between roughly five tools during a hiring rush.

0s
Applicants moved per bulk action

Advance, message, tag, or reject hundreds of records in one sweep. At volume, the time you reclaim from manual clicking is the difference between filling the shift and losing it.

0
SMS per month on Tiger Shark

Real-time two-way SMS is metered for volume - 10,000 texts a month on the Tiger Shark plan - so a same-day shift blast never runs out of runway.

Pricing shown reflects public 2026 plans. Every plan includes a 30-day free trial with no setup fees and no long-term contracts.

Turnover, managed

Your fastest hire already worked for you

High churn is a fact of high-volume staffing. The winning move is not to fight it - it is to reuse the roster you already built.

Re-engage past workers first

Light-industrial and call-center rosters churn - but a worker who already onboarded, cleared screening, and knows the site is your fastest fill. Keep them in a segment and text the crew back the moment a shift opens instead of starting from a cold applicant pile.

Reuse the roster, not the paperwork

Every worker profile keeps its history: prior placements, screening results, onboarding docs. Redeploying a returning worker is a message and a stage change, not a fresh application and a full re-screen.

Turn no-shows into a follow-up, not a dead end

Volume hiring means no-shows happen. Status-triggered follow-ups fire automatically - a text to the no-show, a backfill blast to the next-best segment - so an empty seat becomes coverage instead of a scramble.

On-brand at every location

Whether you staff one warehouse or fifty, every message, career page, and offer letter carries your logo, your colors, your domain. Your brand, codified - not ATS Mako showing up in front of your workers.

Questions from the floor

High-volume FAQ

Can ATS Mako handle 1,000+ applicants for a single role?

Yes. High volume is the design target. Applicants are captured automatically from job boards, your Apply Here page, and email, then AI ranking surfaces the strongest matches so recruiters open a shortlist instead of scrolling a raw pile. Bulk actions let you advance, message, tag, or reject hundreds of records at once, so a thousand-applicant pile never becomes a thousand-click backlog.

How does same-day shift filling actually work?

Build a dynamic audience of qualified, available workers and send a two-way SMS blast. Replies land in one centralized conversational inbox where your team confirms coverage in minutes. Texts honor quiet hours and automatic opt-out handling by default, so filling a same-day gap stays fast and TCPA-clean.

Is texting hundreds of candidates at once compliant?

SMS recruiting is regulated under TCPA in the US - outbound texts need lawful prior consent and a clear opt-out like Reply STOP. ATS Mako builds automatic opt-out handling and business-hours quiet-hours into the Communication Engine, and lockable template sections keep required legal and EEO language intact so a rushed recruiter cannot strip a disclosure from a blast.

Does AI voice call screening replace my recruiters?

No - it clears the volume so your recruiters spend their hours on the applicants worth closing. AI voice screening runs your qualifying questions across responders, filters out the ones who do not meet shift availability, transportation, or right-to-work requirements, and hands your team a ranked shortlist. Recruiters close instead of dialing dead numbers.

What plan do I need for high-volume SMS?

Real-time two-way SMS, AI applicant ranking, and a dedicated applicant site start on the Tiger Shark plan at $299/mo for up to 10 users, which includes 10,000 SMS per month. Every plan includes a 30-day free trial with no setup fees and no long-term contracts.

Can I run this across multiple warehouses or call centers?

Yes. Segment audiences by location, standardize outreach with a shared template library, and control access with role-based permissions so each site sees its own pipeline. Every touchpoint stays on your brand across every location.
