    Hi, this is the sortiva screening assistant calling on behalf of Ridgeline Heating and Air.

  2. 0:05

    I'm an AI assistant and this call is being recorded so a hiring manager can review it.

  3. 0:10

    Is this Marcus? Yeah, uh, this is Marcus. Great. Thanks for picking up Marcus. You applied for

  4. 0:18

    the HVAC service technician position. Do you have about five minutes for a few quick questions?

  5. 0:25

    Yeah, yeah, I got a few minutes. I'm on my lunch break, so now's good.

  6. 0:30

    Perfect. To start, how many years of hands-on experience do you have working on residential

  7. 0:36

    or light commercial HVAC systems? Um, about six years. The first two I was a helper with a company

  8. 0:45

    across town and then I got my own truck, so four years running calls by myself.

  9. 0:51

    Mostly residential, some light commercial, rooftop units, that kind of thing.

  10. 0:57

    Thanks. Do you hold an EPA 608 certification and if so, which type?

  11. 1:03

    Yeah, I've got the universal. Got it, uh, back in 2019.

  12. 1:09

    Got it. Universal EPA 608, you said 2019. Do you also hold a state HVAC license or are you working

  13. 1:19

    toward one? Not a full license yet. I'm, uh, I'm signed up to test in the spring. Right now,

  14. 1:26

    I work under my company's license. Understood. This position includes a company truck and

  15. 1:33

    occasional on-call weekends. Do you have a valid driver's license and are you comfortable with that

  16. 1:38

    schedule? Yep, clean license and, uh, on-call's fine. I just, I'd need to know the rotation ahead of

  17. 1:47

    time because I got two kids. That's helpful to know. I'll note it for the hiring manager.

  18. 1:53

    Last question. When could you start if you were offered the position? I'd have to give two weeks

  19. 1:59

    notice. So about two weeks. Thank you, Marcus. That's everything I need. I'll send your answers

  20. 2:07

    to the hiring manager who will review them and follow up with you directly. Have a great rest of

  21. 2:12

    your day. All right. Thanks. You too.

    Hi, is this Dale? This is the Sortiva Reference Assistant, an AI assistant calling on behalf

  2. 0:04

    of Ridgeline Heating in Air. Marcus listed you as a reference for an HVAC technician position.

  3. 0:11

    Oh sure, yeah, this is Dale. Thanks Dale. Before I start, this call is recorded so the hiring

  4. 0:17

    manager can review it. Do you have a few minutes and are you okay answering a few questions?

  5. 0:23

    Yeah, that's fine. Go ahead. First, can you confirm that Marcus worked with you and in

  6. 0:29

    what role? Yep, he was a service tech online team for about four years. I'm the service manager

  7. 0:34

    over there. Thank you. How would you describe the quality of his work? Solid. One of the more

  8. 0:41

    careful guys we had. Customers liked him. We get a couple of callbacks asking for him by name.

  9. 0:46

    Only thing is, on the bigger commercial jobs, he'd sometimes hold back on asking for help.

  10. 0:51

    But he picked things up fast. Got it, thanks. How was his attendance and reliability?

  11. 0:57

    Dependable. Showed up on time. Took on call when we needed him. Never had a problem there.

  12. 1:02

    Was there anything about his work or conduct you'd want a future employer to know?

  13. 1:08

    Not really. Just give him clear expectations up front and he'll hit them.

  14. 1:15

    That's helpful. Last question. Would you hire Marcus again if you had an opening?

  15. 1:20

    Yeah, absolutely. I'd take him back tomorrow.

  16. 1:23

    Thank you, Dale. I'll pass your responses along to the hiring manager. Have a good afternoon.

  17. 1:31

    All right, you too.

    Great.

  13. 0:25

    Can you tell me about your CNA certification

  14. 0:28

    and how long you've worked as a CNA?

  15. 0:30

    Sure, I got certified here in California in 2021.

  16. 0:35

    So about three years now.

  17. 0:37

    Most of that was at an assisted living

  18. 0:39

    and a good chunk of it was memory care.

  19. 0:41

    Thanks.

  20. 0:42

    This position covers mornings and some weekends.

  21. 0:44

    What does your availability look like?

    Is your CPR certification current?

  28. 0:56

    Yes, through the Red Cross.

  29. 0:58

    It expires in March, so I'll renew it before then.

  30. 1:01

    Can you tell me about a time a resident was upset

  31. 1:03

    or resistant to care and how you handled it?

  32. 1:06

    I had a resident with dementia

  33. 1:07

    who would refuse her morning bath.

  34. 1:09

    So I stopped pushing, sat down with her

  35. 1:12

    and we talked about her garden.

  36. 1:14

    Then I tried again later.

  37. 1:16

    Most of the time she just needed a little time.

  38. 1:19

    Thank you.

  39. 1:20

    Last thing, would it be all right

  40. 1:22

    if we contacted your references about this role?

  41. 1:24

    If so, I can take their name and number now.

  42. 1:27

    Yes, that's fine.

  43. 1:29

    Linda Morales, she's the Director of Nursing at my last job.
