Clearly, adding text messaging to your business communications to improve customer service and response times makes a lot of sense. Now, HR teams are starting to leverage the power of text messaging to build rapport with job candidates and accelerate the recruiting process.
ClearCompany’s newest product, ClearText, is a text messaging tool designed with the needs of recruiting teams and hiring managers in mind. It works seamlessly with our ATS platform to enable one-on-one text communications between your company and candidates to enhance the candidate experience. With ClearText, hiring managers and recruiters simply click on a candidate’s profile on the platform to initiate a text conversation. They can correspond with candidates via text from their desktop or mobile device, and all text interactions will be captured on the candidate’s timeline. Importantly, ClearText uses intermediary mobile numbers assigned through the platform, rather than your hiring teams’ personal cell phone numbers, so your hiring team can maintain their privacy
ClearText is easy to use and takes only minutes to activate, but its impact on your candidate’s experience will be meaningful. Specifically, ClearText supports hiring teams by:
- Enabling quick interactions with candidates - Facilitate efficient, low-pressure, on-the-go communications with candidates
