What are the benefits of using SMS for recruitment?
A better recruitment strategy
Better response rate
Reach candidates and clients immediately. SMS has a lower response barrier so you’ll find you get more responses, sooner.
Set candidates up for success
Give them all of the information they need to be on time and look amazing in front of the client. It’ll make both you and them look professional.
Keep your candidates in the loop
It’s understandable that candidates get a bit stressed looking for a job. Update them with texts whenever you can. That’ll reduce their stress and make sure they value you even more.
Keep your promises
If you’ve promised someone you’ll be in touch, a text is an easy way to stay true to your word.
Built for a mobile world
