Why it’s built this way

Most people never finish the form.

Frontline hiring runs on tools built for office hiring: an account, a résumé, a long form, a queue. The person you want is on a phone, on a break, and gone in ten minutes.

92%

of people who click “Apply” never finish the application. The average form takes 51 clicks.

frontline workers have started an application and quit. Half of them say the form was too long.

frontline hiring managers lose candidates at the interview, and another 1 in 5 at scheduling. What workers ask for: fewer steps, faster replies.

is where most job seekers give up on an application. Bash’s chat takes ten, and ends with a booked interview.

So there’s no form. Ten minutes of conversation, a card, a booked slot. Run an ATS? It keeps running. Don’t? You don’t need one. Here’s what that looks like on a Tuesday afternoon.

Someone asks if you’re hiring.

Same person. Two ways it goes. Tap a step.

How it works

Four steps. You do two of them.

01 · You

Create the role

Say what you need, in plain words. Or pull the role from any job board or your careers page.

02 · You

Put the QR up

Print it, or put it on a screen. Window, waiting room, exit lane, break room. Every QR knows its location.

03 · Bash

They chat with Bash

Same ten minutes, whichever door they came through. Text, voice note or call. Their language. ID check if the role needs it.

04 · Bash

You get the card, booked

Summary, transcript, verification. Tap book. Bash finds a time that fits your calendar.

Round zero

Bash runs round zero. You run a better round one.

You’ve sat through a hundred first interviews that were really “Can you work weekends?” and “When can you start?” Bash asks those before you meet, by text, voice note or call, in their language. Then it offers times from your calendar, confirms one, sends the reminder, and books it with the card attached.

So when you sit down, you’re deciding one thing: do you want this person next to you on a Saturday night. That’s the only round you show up for.

What you get

A Candidate Card.

A short summary, the full transcript, their hours, and whether the ID checked out. A minute to read. Two buttons: book or pass. Passed cards stay. Your next opening starts with people who’ve already talked to you.

ID verification

The person who shows up is the person who chatted.

Before the interview hits your calendar, Veriff checks a government ID against a selfie. The name on the card, the name on your calendar, the person at your door on Friday: same person.

  • Done during the chat, before the slot is booked
  • Shows on the card and on the calendar entry
  • Per role. Off for crew if you like. On for anyone with keys or cash.

Why a scan

A scan is not an application.

Bash handles both. They’re not the same person. One is standing at your door. The other might be anywhere, applying to forty places tonight.

Job-board applicant
  • Applied to 40 jobs tonight, yours included
  • Might be three time zones away, or a bot
  • Has never seen the place
  • One click. No idea what the job is
  • Ghosts when the first of the 40 replies
Walk-in scan
  • Stood at your door and chose to scan
  • Already knows the commute
  • Just saw the place, the people, the pace
  • Spent ten minutes talking about this job
  • Booked their own interview before leaving

The poster brings fewer people, better people, from nearby. Job-board applicants get the same chat. You just find out in ten minutes which ones are real.

Who it’s for

Anyone who hires for the front line.

FAQ

Questions

Is this an AI interview?It’s a ten-minute chat that asks what you’d ask in the first five. Bash doesn’t hire, reject or rank anyone. You decide. Candidates can always reach a person on your team.
Do candidates download anything?No. Scan the code and the chat opens in the browser.
What languages?Whatever the candidate writes in. Cards come back in English.
Is this only for walk-ins? Only for restaurants?Neither. Anyone who hires for the front line hires the same way: fast, on a phone, from nearby. The poster is one door. Any job board, your careers page and referral links are the others. Same chat, same card, same booking.
How does scheduling work?Set your available times once. Tap book on a card. Bash offers the candidate two or three slots, confirms one, sends a reminder that morning, and puts it on your calendar with the card attached. Reschedules work the same way.
Are these better candidates than job-board applicants?Different ones. A scan means they stood at your door and chose to spend ten minutes on this job. They know the commute. They’ve seen the place. Job boards send volume. The poster sends intent.
Does it cut no-shows?Candidates pick their own slot right after the chat, with a verified ID. We’ll publish the numbers once our first customers have run a full quarter.
Do I need an ATS?No. The chat is the application, the card is the record, the calendar is the pipeline. Already have one? It keeps running. Cards and interviews can be pushed into it.
Does it replace my job boards or my calendar?No. Roles pull in from any job board. Every applicant a board sends goes through the same chat. Interviews land on your calendar with the card attached.
What does the demo cover?Twenty minutes on a call. We set up your first role while you’re on it and send your poster the same day. Want the poster without the call? Use the form below.
How many locations can it handle?As many as you have. Every poster knows its location. One dashboard, location groups, team roles, an app for every manager.
