Talent Network and TextRecruit: Connect with More Candidates via Text Message
Now, CareerBuilder clients with Talent Network can take communication with their talent network members to the next level by purchasing a TextRecruit license.
With TextRecruit, employers and recruiters can easily send text messages to talent network members and candidates inviting them to events, asking them to apply or sending other relevant, personalized messages. With its remarkably high open and response rates and its secure platform, TextRecruit helps convert talent network members into candidates – and possible future hires – while ensuring companies stay compliant.
How it works
With a license to TextRecruit, Talent Network clients can add a specialized “join” form to their career site asking candidates to opt in to receive text messages. Clients can send text messages by simply logging into the TextRecruit platform, where they can also track responses, view conversation history and measure performance (open rates, responses and unsubscribes). Clients can rest assured all phone numbers are verified and all data is kept safe and secure.
