How the audition works (and why it's free)

By Eric Berg · Last updated August 2026

The audition is the product's proof loop: talk to the employment desk, receive a written employee brief, correct it by text, verify the owner, authorize a limited card-free build, and call the real employee on their own number before deciding whether to keep them.

Step one: call the employment desk

Call (587) 316-5288. Bring three things: the business, where work falls through, and the hard line the employee must not cross. Whoever asks follow-ups. The caller's own statements can become business facts; the recruiter's invented role ideas do not silently become facts.

Step two: read and correct the brief

When the call ends, the verified mobile receives the proposed employee: role, duties, hard lines, known facts, and the facts still missing. Reply CORRECT in plain English to revise it. The system answers questions, applies corrections, and sends the full brief back. Reply BUILD only when the brief is right.

Step three: verify and authorize

BUILD opens a signed Hire Whoever claim page. It shows the approved brief and separates owner identity from business knowledge. A code proves control of the mobile. The owner accepts the audition terms and authorizes the build. This step does not buy a paid plan; the page shows the audition's time and call-minute limits.

Step four: the employee reports for work

After provisioning, the employee texts from the new number: they are built and ready to call. The owner calls first for an orientation, then can test from another phone as a customer. The employee should know the approved role, keep unknowns unknown, and turn a completed customer call into the owner's summary and branded View call card.

What it costs after you say hire

If the employee belongs on the team, keeping the same number, approved brief, and taught knowledge is CA$149 per month, cancel anytime. Payment happens at the keep door, not at audition authorization.

What the audition won't do

The employee knows only the approved facts and boundaries. The verified owner can teach it by text; identity changes get explicit confirmation and the latest change can be undone. An audition is limited, does not guarantee every call will connect, and does not turn a front-desk role into autonomous pricing, diagnosis, dispatch, or emergency authority.
