Why Text-to-Apply Makes Recruiting Easier
Text messaging is a fast and efficient form of communication, especially in recruiting. The average open rate sits at 99%, with 97% of messages read within 15 minutes. It’s no surprise that SMS has been such an effective tool for recruiters looking to cut through the clutter on job boards or social media platforms like LinkedIn by effectively targeting their audience interested in new opportunities. One platform making waves lately among those seeking more control over how they connect and interact with potential candidates is Text-to-Apply, which lets users send text message alerts from any device (including desktop) to reach qualified applicants who are waiting passively for your company’s next great opportunity!
How It Works
Text to Apply is a recruiting app that enables candidates to apply for job openings via text message. It can be used in different mediums, such as billboards and storefront banners. Texting the keyword or QR code through their mobile device lets them start their application process right away! With pre-screening capabilities like this available on your phone, you don’t need anything else but an internet connection from home 🙂
How does Text-to-Apply make recruiting easier?
It serves as another source of talent and expands your candidate pool
In addition to your primary recruiting initiatives, advertising job opportunities via Text-to Apply is an effortless way to attract candidates from outside your current talent pool. Those who are passing by the storefront or scrolling through social media will be exposed to a text advertisement and can quickly apply using just one short keyword!
It’s low pressure, low commitment
If you’re not a fan of complicated sign-ups and lengthy applications, then Text-to Apply is the perfect solution. The app provides quick and convenient communication with potential employers – so that candidates can express their interest in jobs without any commitment or time spent filling out an application. At any stage throughout this process, applicants are able to opt-out as easily as they opted in.
It speeds up the job application and screening process
Anyone who’s ever used the internet knows that it can be a stressful and frustrating experience. For job seekers, this is especially true when they are looking for work but have to wait on hold with companies only to find out there were no open positions available at all. No more! XOR has developed Text-to-Apply which allows candidates to take charge of their own recruitment process by texting in from anywhere and completing preassessments via text message so employers don’t have any long waiting times or unreliable phone lines between them.
It creates a positive candidate experience
Text-to-Apply is a recruiting platform that specializes in providing candidates with the flexibility and convenience they need to make their decision. The ball, as you might say, is firmly in your court! Apply anytime without worrying about being locked into any long contract or obligation.
It's easy to promote
There are several ways you can promote your Text-to-Apply initiatives. You could use storefronts, billboards and banners to advertise what the service is all about or even stay 100% digital with social media sites like Facebook and Linkedin which would be cheaper than physical advertising but take a lot more work in terms of researching potential buyers. It’s entirely up to you how much money goes into marketing for this venture!
You’ll have plenty of options when it comes time to market your new business idea: from using traditional methods such as billboard ads, store displays, or flyers (all at varying costs) to staying strictly online by utilizing free software programs that will help get the word out on popular websites like LinkedIn® jobs boards or Twitter® job
