Why Is Texting A Must-Have For Recruiting?

Consider the following:

  • 98% of text messages are opened. By comparison, the email open rate is 20%.
  • 95% of text messages are read within 3 minutes—most in UNDER 5 SECONDS! (source: Forbes, Slick Text)
  • The response rate for SMS is 45%. Email response rate is 6%. (Source: Gartner)
  • People respond to text messages in 90 seconds. It takes 90 minutes, on average, for an email response. (Source: CTIA)

Any way you measure it, texting reigns supreme.

Connect With Applicants Immediately

You can send a text instead of an email any time you need to communicate with an applicant:

Easier For You And Easier For The Applicant

Once you text an applicant, they can text you going forward. Any user on your hiring team can respond. The applicant will always see the same number.

This is the natural way for applicants to communicate. If they have a question or need to reschedule, they can send a quick text while they’re thinking about it.

Shorten Time-To-Hire

Because of the near immediate response rate, texting can shorten time-to-hire considerably. Stop waiting for email responses. Eliminate a common process bottleneck.

Texting Adds Even More Value To ApplicantStack

When you add texting to your ApplicantStack account, you extract even more value from the top ATS on the market.

Using texting in addition to email sets your company apart. Companies that connect via texting are up-to-the-minute technologically. Adopt texting now and enjoy a competitive advantage.

Our new texting feature is available to new and existing direct sale customers. Although this feature isn’t available during our free trial, you can see why thousands of recruiting professionals use ApplicantStack. For more information, contact ApplicantStack.
