Is it legal to recruit via text message?

Yes, it is legal to recruit via text message as long as you have obtained the recipient's consent and comply with the federal laws such as TCPA (Telephone Consumer Protection Act).

What is the best way to gain a candidate's consent?

Candidates can provide their consent in a variety of ways, such as by signing a consent form, giving their phone number on an application, or responding to an initial text message.

How should I measure the success of my text message recruiting campaign?

Success of text message recruiting campaigns can be measured by the response rate, the number of candidates who move forward in the recruitment process, and the number of hires made as a result of the campaign.

How often should I use automated responses when communicating with candidates?

The answer to this question is complex. While automated text messages can save time, they can be perceived as impersonal and may lead to recipients blocking your number. We recommend using SMS keywords to gauge the initial interest when you send out your recruiting campaign but communicating personally once you start messaging the candidate through 2-way texting.

Our mission is clear; Help staffing agencies connect with candidates faster and keep them engaged. Our texting platform for staffing agencies facilitates smooth communication at every hiring stage, offering detailed delivery insights so you always know your message was received.

With our expertise, you can text-enable your existing phone numbers, create custom reports, and customize unread message alerts. Whether it's training, setup, or onboarding teams across branches, we're here to support you every step of the way.

Here are some good use cases:

Notify candidates of job openings and schedule interviews

Follow-up after initial contact or interviews

Provide updates and feedback during hiring

Send post-interview surveys

Send onboarding details like start date and location.

Automation

Set automated interview reminders and job alerts to save time without disrupting candidate communication.

2-Way Communication

Have real-time conversations with talent to provide personalized support even when using templates.

Bulk Texting

Reach qualified candidates en masse, segmenting them based on their skills or job preferences for faster placements.

We are able to widely reach talent regarding new opportunities that we have available. We are able to complete hundreds of calls in a matter of minutes rather than having individual calls made by representatives. If we had to make these types of calls individually, we would lose hours of productivity a week.

The best thing about Text-Em-All is that it fully integrates with our ATS system. Makes communications seamless! I also love the fact that you can respond to messages in real-time from within the platform. I also love that we can adjust our message character limit as needed and that messaging notifications are also sent via email to ensure that we don't miss a response.
