Deliver the speed and convenience candidates expect

Aside from being the largest messaging platform in the world with more than 1.6 billion active monthly users, used by all age groups, Whatsapp sees the highest open rate, read rate and engagement levels of all messaging apps.

Running Branded Campaigns with a Verified Profile

End-to-end encryption is another key distinction between WhatsApp and other messaging platforms. Talkpush’s CRM integration with Whatsapp is built with a dedicated server, so candidates who communicate with your business are provided with a secure, spam-free experience. Candidates can choose to receive alerts and notifications, such as application status information and job alerts, all from the palm of their hands, or desktop (provided they download the app).

Messages are sent from a verified account with your Company Name (vs. a random phone number), giving candidates confidence they are speaking with an official, branded account. Unlike other social media platforms like Messenger, Whatsapp is 100% ad-free, so recruiters can grab candidates’ undivided attention on a secure, reliable channel.

Save SMS Costs, Switch to WhatsApp

With WhatsApp, you not only create more engaging experiences, but also save costs after a certain volume of outbound messaging— opposed to SMS, which generally costs a few dollars a month or several cents per text. Especially in high-volume recruitment, per-text rates can be much higher than WhatsApp.

Messages sent within the pre-approved 24 hour chat session are free, allowing recruiters to send as many messages you want to candidates. In addition, candidates can chat using all the rich media they are used to (images, emojis, video, and voice notes) for a more engaging, fun experience.

Rich content support over WhatsApp adds another dimension to messaging candidates that completely surpasses traditional SMS. The ability to send large data files (such as photos, videos, resumes, employment contracts, and short voice messages), elevates the traditional method of job applications to a whole new level.

Recruiter’s view

Candidate’s view

At Talkpush, our mission is to enable recruiters to engage effectively with their candidates on the messaging channels they prefer, and that means being able to use them for rich, contextual conversations.

This is how the experience looks like from the recruiter’s standpoint:

Candidates increasingly want to communicate with you in the same way they do with their friends, family and co-workers, and the ability to exchange media such as image, audio, video and pdf files is essential to that.

Messaging apps like WhatsApp are currently leading a paradigm shift away from traditional SMS and towards lower-cost and feature-rich alternatives. As the popularity of messaging applications continue to rise, expect to see WhatsApp as THE channel to give recruiters a strong competitive edge in a high-demand talent market.
