Recruiters and hiring managers can use bulk messaging capabilities to:
Create targeted recruitment lists based on past applicants
Personalize outreach via text messaging and email, based on candidate communication preferences
Drive candidate engagement and new applicants to current openings
To send messages on the Candidates page, you must have message templates built in the Recruit Messages section. It is important to have both an emailed and text version of the message template.
To create messages targeting recruits:
Go to Manage System.
Go to Message Templates.
Go to Recruit Messages.
Click +New to create your template.
You'll see that there's a section for the email template and for the SMS template. Recruiting messages will go to the recipient via text message if they have opted in to text messages and via email if they have not opted in to text messages. Having both template versions means the recruiter/hiring manager does not need to know the preferences of communication.
5. Create the template. Once complete, click Submit.
6. Once the template is created, find the candidates you want to message by going to Recruitment → Candidates.
7. Click Advanced Filters to start filtering the list.
9. Select your desired filters and click Submit.
10. The candidates list will filter. Click on the checkbox to select all or select individually.
11. Scroll to the Bulk Actions at the bottom of the page, select Message to Recruits and click Go.
12. Choose your template from the Template dropdown. Click Load Template. You can edit the template as needed
Click Send Message to complete.
