Manufacturing

A short line is a slow line.

A machine operator applies after second shift at 11:30pm. Ribbon interviews her on the spot, confirms her shift availability and experience, and your plant HR sees a scored candidate before the morning meeting.

Every unfilled station costs throughput

Production doesn't slow down because HR is busy. Ribbon screens every applicant the moment they apply, so the line stays crewed.

What it looks like plugged into your ATS

Ribbon connects to the ATS you already run. Plant HR keeps their tools. They just see better candidates.

1

A station opens

An opening goes up for any plant or shift and Ribbon picks it up automatically.

Applicants get a call

Every applicant gets a text and email invite the moment they apply, and interviews by phone or video in 10+ languages.

They talk between shifts

Most industrial interviews happen overnight and on weekends. Nobody waits for HR's office hours.

Scores, transcripts, and recordings land in your ATS, ranked and ready for same-day offers.

The questions your legal and EHS teams will ask

Can applicants cheat the interview?

Integrity Monitor flags coached and scripted interviews automatically, so you never put someone's ChatGPT answers on a production line.

How Integrity Monitor works

Will legal sign off?

Ribbon passed New York's Local Law 144 bias audit and is built to satisfy GDPR and CCPA. That matters when you hire across multiple plants.
