What can recruiting firms do with SMS?
−
You can send job alerts, confirm interviews, update candidates, follow up with clients, request documents, and promote hiring events. SMS speeds up communication and keeps everyone informed.
How quickly do candidates respond to texts?
+
Most texts are read within minutes, making SMS ideal for time-sensitive updates like interview scheduling, job offers, or onboarding steps.
Can we use our existing recruiting number?
+
Yes. You can text-enable your firm’s main number so candidates and clients can call or text the same line. Messages can be routed to recruiters automatically.
How do after-hours auto-replies work?
+
When candidates or clients text after hours, an auto-reply confirms receipt, requests basic details, and informs them when a recruiter will respond.
Can we segment messages and track results?
+
Yes. Segment by role, candidate stage, or client account. Track responses, interview confirmations, and placements to measure ROI.
Does this integrate with ATS or CRM systems?
+
Textellent integrates with ATS and CRM platforms, syncing candidate records, job orders, and communication history automatically.
What about compliance and opt-in or opt-out?
+
Candidates opt in through job applications, career events, or keywords. Each SMS contains opt-out instructions, and STOP and HELP requests are handled automatically to maintain compliance.
Can we try Textellent for free?
