Texting capabilities can assist recruiters and hiring managers with:
Creating 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 create messages targeting recruits:
Go to Manage System
Go to Message Templates
3. Go to Recruit Messages
4. Click on + Add to create your template
You will see that there is 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 into text messages and Email if they have not opted into text messages. Having both template versions means the recruiter/hiring manager does not need to know the preferences of communication.
5. Create the template of communication to the recruit
6. Once the template is created
7. Click on Recruitment
8. Click on Recruitment Contacts
9. Click Show Filters to start filtering the list
10. Select your desired filters and click Submit. In the header bar of the list of recruits, click on the check box to select all or select one recruit at a time
11. Select Message Recruits from the drop down of actions and click Go
Then choose your template and click Load Template
You can edit the template as needed, or simply click Send Message after review.
