Is it legal to recruit via text message?

Yes, it is legal to recruit via text message as long as you have obtained the recipient's consent and comply with the federal laws such as TCPA (Telephone Consumer Protection Act).

What is the best way to gain a candidate's consent?

Candidates can provide their consent in a variety of ways, such as by signing a consent form, giving their phone number on an application, or responding to an initial text message.

How should I measure the success of my text message recruiting campaign?

Success of text message recruiting campaigns can be measured by the response rate, the number of candidates who move forward in the recruitment process, and the number of hires made as a result of the campaign.

How often should I use automated responses when communicating with candidates?

The answer to this question is complex. While automated text messages can save time, they can be perceived as impersonal and may lead to recipients blocking your number. We recommend using SMS keywords to gauge the initial interest when you send out your recruiting campaign but communicating personally once you start messaging the candidate through 2-way texting.

Identify yourself

Always include your name or the name of your company or organization in the message so that the recipient knows who is sending them the text.

Provide an opt-out option

Give recipients the option to stop receiving messages from you at any time. If you're using Text-Em-All, recipients can opt-out by responding with the term "STOP."

Use a professional tone

Always use a professional tone in your messages and be polite, as this can help build trust with your candidates and employees and reduce the likelihood of them reporting your number as spam.

Keep your database clean and target your contacts

Instead of sending out job postings to your entire contact list, clean your contact list and then send your message only to qualified candidates. To clean your contact list, only use contacts who have responded and/or signed up in the last year or two.
