[00:00:10] Speaker 1: We were really just struggling with there are not enough hours in the day to interview all of these folks. And so that means we're having to ask people to schedule like three weeks from now, by the time three weeks pass, and we're finally able to chat with them, they say, hey, I've already taken a job someplace else. Hey, we need to explore some other solution that lets us get through more people faster. So I think that was what really got us excited about this. Prior to the voice agents, we were really just doing, you know, actual live phone interviews with all of these folks. From January through till now, we have done, or I should say through the end of July, we have 277 voice agent screenings we've done. It's given us more time back in our schedules. PACT has been in just the time saving, about 45 minutes or so for an individual screening. We've been able to use that to consider a broader range of candidates, so you're not spending your entire day in interviews.
