The story behind CallMantra

From dial-up to Al: A 30-year journey in communication technology

Hey, l’m Paul Champaneria, and my journey in communication technology started long before Saas existed. In 1992, when the internet was just emerging, I built one of the first PC-based voice messaging systems-back when connecting people meant wrestling with dial-up modems.

Fast forward to today, and communication is faster than ever-yet recruiters struggle to connect with candidates.

Our story

Why recruiters are struggling today

When I launched a staffing company in 2012, recruiters thrived on phone calls. But over time, answer rates dropped, texts got ignored, and critical candidate data never made it into the ATS.

Here’s what we discovered

designlogo
Only 1 out of 32 candidates answered a recruiter’s cold call.
designlogo
Carrier spam filters were blocking recruiter calls-without them even knowing.
designlogo
Recruiters weren’t updating the ATS-losing salary expectations, skills, and availability.

Too much time was wasted between calls manually dialing, leaving voicemails, and chasing candidates.
