Manufacturing & Warehousing
The line runs short while the resumes sit unread
A machine operator applies on his phone at shift change. Morgan interviews him in the car park, confirms which equipment he has actually run, and your plant HR lead has a scored candidate before the next shift starts.
Trusted by manufacturing and industrial teams
Manufacturing and warehouse hiring stalls at the screening stage
Plant HR is not a recruiting team
One generalist covers safety, payroll, employee relations and hiring. Screening is the task that gets pushed when anything else goes wrong on the floor.
Candidates apply on shift patterns, not office hours
Applications come in at 11pm and at 6am. A callback during the day reaches someone who is on a line and cannot answer.
A resume does not tell you what they have run
Forklift certification, specific machines, tolerances, safety record — these have to be asked consistently, and they usually are not.

Hi Luis, thanks for applying for the machine operator role we posted on 2nd shift. I just have a few questions. Are you free to talk now?
Just clocked out. Is this the 2pm to 10pm shift?
That is the one, Monday to Friday. I will go through the equipment questions on the call.
Yes, I can talk now.
Great, calling you now.

CUSTOMER PROOF
Proof from industrial teams
Manufacturers and industrial operators run hiring through Tenzo
WD-40, Inland Packaging, GSI and Copper State all hire through Tenzo. Morgan contacts every applicant within minutes rather than in the order a generalist reaches them, interviews around shift patterns in 40+ languages, and scores every candidate against the same rubric.
The pattern holds outside manufacturing too. Cascade Environmental, screening technical field roles at 2,000 to 3,000 applications a month with a three-person team, cut applicant response time from 48 hours to four minutes and recovered 87.5 days of work a month.
Shift workers are not an easy audience for a recruiting tool. 98% of them still rate the AI interview positively, averaging 4.6 out of 5.
Manufacturing hiring, answered
What plant managers and HR generalists ask us before they roll this out across sites.
Can Morgan screen for specific equipment and certifications?
Yes. You define the questions and the knockouts per requisition, so a role needing a particular machine, licence or certification filters on that before anyone reaches plant HR.
Can candidates interview outside office hours?
Yes. Morgan interviews 24/7, including nights and weekends, which is when most shift workers are free to talk.
A lot of our applicants do not speak English first. Does that work?
Morgan interviews in 40+ languages, in the language the candidate applied in, and returns one comparable scorecard to your team regardless.
What does Tenzo write back into our ATS?
A score, a full transcript, and the interview recording, attached to the candidate record. Tenzo integrates with 57+ ATS and CRM platforms, including Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, UKG, Dayforce, ADP, iCIMS, Cornerstone, Greenhouse, SmartRecruiters, Workable, Jobvite, Ashby, Avature, Taleo, PageUp, Bullhorn and Salesforce.
How do you stop people gaming the interview?
Candidate identity is verified as part of the interview, and Tenzo checks for behavioural signals of coaching or impersonation. Every interview leaves a recorded, transcribed artifact you can review.
Is this compliant enough for our legal team?
Tenzo is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant, and scoring is bias-aware. Morgan does not make the hiring decision — it produces a rubric-scored, auditable record and a human decides.
Other teams with the same problem
If you hire across more than one of these, the same setup covers all of them. Pick whichever is closest to the requisition you are trying to fill.
Transportation & Logistics
Screening that reaches drivers, dispatchers and dock staff on their phone, around the clock, and checks the endorsements that matter.
Hourly & Frontline Hiring
Phone-first screening for hourly and frontline roles, in minutes rather than days.
High-Volume Hiring
Screening capacity that scales with the requisition, so volume stops being the reason good candidates go unreviewed.
