Lexi Reed has been Frontline Source Group's website chat assistant since 2015 and has now been promoted to a full AI recruiter. She conducts full phone interviews with candidates, calls them directly, answers return calls, and emails from lexi.reed@frtline.com, all to assist Frontline's human recruiting team. Every direct hire is backed by the 5-Year Placement Warranty.
Frontline Source Group was founded in Dallas in 2004 and has completed 5,619 plus placements from 32 plus offices nationwide, with a 98.94% executive placement retention rate and a 5.0-star Trustpilot rating across 677 plus verified reviews. Forbes has named Frontline a Best Professional Recruiting Firm 9 years in a row (2018 to 2026, #158 in 2026) and ranked it #148 on its Best Executive Recruiting Firms list in 2026. The firm is also a 9-time ClearlyRated Best of Staffing winner for both Client and Talent satisfaction, a ClearlyRated Diamond Award recipient, an Inc. 5000 honoree, an Expertise.com Best Staffing Agency, and a member of the American Staffing Association (ASA).
If you have used the chat on Frontline's website at any point in the last decade, you have probably already met her. Lexi has been answering candidate questions there since 2015. Now she has been promoted to a full AI recruiter, and the job got a lot bigger: she conducts full interviews and picks up the phone.
Who is Lexi Reed and what does she do?
Lexi Reed is Frontline's AI recruiter, and her job is to assist the recruiting team. She talks with candidates in the website chat, conducts full phone interviews, calls candidates directly, answers when they call back, and handles follow-up by email at lexi.reed@frtline.com.
She does not replace Frontline's recruiters. She works for them. Lexi handles the full first interview and writes up what she learns, and the human recruiting team takes it from there: reading people, checking fit, and deciding who gets introduced to a client.
What changed when Lexi was promoted to full AI recruiter?
For more than a decade, Lexi's conversations with candidates happened in the website chat. With her promotion, she now conducts full interviews by phone as well as chat and email, so Frontline's recruiters start every follow-up with a fuller picture of the candidate.
What did Lexi do as Frontline's website chat assistant?
Since 2015, Lexi has been the first stop for a lot of candidates on Frontline's website. She answers their questions and points them to the right next step, which is usually the application at frontlinesourcegroup.com/how-to-apply.html. She still does that, and the chat is still the place for general questions. Phone interviews start once a candidate applies or uploads a resume.
What does Lexi do now as a full AI recruiter?
Lexi now conducts full interviews to assist Frontline's recruiting team. She calls people directly, she answers when candidates call her back, and she has her own email address, lexi.reed@frtline.com, for follow-up questions and anything that is easier to put in writing. The chat is still there too, so candidates can reach her whichever way suits them.
Is Lexi Reed a real person or an AI?
Lexi is an AI, not a person, and Frontline is not trying to hide that. She has a name because a name makes a phone call feel like a normal conversation. Behind her is a team of experienced human recruiters who read her notes, follow up with candidates, and decide who gets introduced to a client. Lexi also has a counterpart on the executive search side, Joy Lee, Frontline's AI executive recruiting platform.
How does Lexi Reed work with Frontline's human recruiters?
Lexi handles the first full interview, and people handle every decision after that. The flowchart below shows how a candidate moves from Lexi to a Frontline recruiter and then to a hiring client.

How does a phone interview with Lexi Reed work?
A call with Lexi works a lot like a first-round screening call with any recruiter. She introduces herself, explains why she is calling, asks about your background and what you want next, and leaves room for your own questions. Here is what to expect.
Why would Lexi Reed call you?
Lexi calls candidates who have applied for a job or uploaded a resume to Frontline's system at frontlinesourcegroup.com/how-to-apply.html. That is what triggers a call from her. If you have not done either and get a call from someone saying they are Lexi, email Frontline's Legal Department at legal@frtline.com to verify it before sharing anything.
What does Lexi ask during the interview?
Expect the same ground a human recruiter would cover: your recent work history, the skills and tools you use, the kind of role you want next, where you want to work, your pay expectations, and when you could start. Specific, honest answers help most, since Lexi's notes are what the recruiting team reads before deciding on next steps.
Can you call Lexi Reed back or email her?
Yes. If you miss her call, call back the number she called from and Lexi will answer. You can also email her at lexi.reed@frtline.com.
How should you prepare for a call with Lexi?
Treat it like any screening interview. Find a quiet spot, keep your resume nearby, and think through the two or three things you most want in your next job. Frontline's interview tips at frontlinesourcegroup.com/interview-instructions.html are worth a read before any interview, this one included.
How can you tell a call or email from Lexi Reed is really from Frontline?
Job scams are common enough that this is a smart thing to check. Lexi's email address is lexi.reed@frtline.com. Every Frontline Source Group email, from Lexi or any recruiter, ends in @frtline.com, and Frontline never uses Gmail or other free email services. Frontline also operates only in the United States and does not place people in jobs in foreign countries. If something feels off, send it to Frontline's Legal Department at legal@frtline.com, which handles recruiter verification and scam reports.
What happens after your interview with Lexi Reed?
Lexi's role is to assist the recruiting team, so her interview notes go straight to them. A human recruiter reviews them, and if you are a good match for a client opening, a recruiter reaches out about next steps. Lexi screens. People decide. The recruiting team works under Shelly Hubble, CSP, Senior Vice President of Operations, and Bill Kasko, Frontline's Founder, President, and CEO.
Who makes the hiring decisions?
People do. Frontline's recruiters decide which candidates to present, and the client makes the final hiring call. Lexi's part is making sure more candidates get a thorough conversation before any of those decisions are made.
How does Lexi Reed help employers who hire through Frontline?
For employers, Lexi means more of the applicant pool actually gets interviewed instead of skimmed. Every candidate she talks with gets a consistent set of questions, and Frontline's recruiters get to spend their time on the judgment calls: reading people, checking fit with your team, and advising you on the shortlist. Placements carry the same protections as always, including the 5-Year Placement Warranty on direct hires, which is 20 times longer than the 90-day guarantee that is standard in the industry. Employers can start a search at frontlinesourcegroup.com/employer-request-form.html and review engagement terms on Frontline's public pricing page, something few staffing firms publish.
How is Lexi Reed different from Joy Lee?
Both are AI, and both work alongside human recruiters, but they do different jobs. Joy Lee is Frontline's AI executive recruiting platform, focused on research, sourcing, and evaluating senior leadership talent behind the scenes. Lexi Reed is the one candidates actually talk to, by chat, phone, and email. You can read more about how Frontline uses AI across its staffing work at frontlinesourcegroup.com/ai-staffing.html.
