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.

Here are some good use cases:

Notify candidates of job openings and schedule interviews

We are able to widely reach talent regarding new opportunities that we have available. We are able to complete hundreds of calls in a matter of minutes rather than having individual calls made by representatives. If we had to make these types of calls individually, we would lose hours of productivity a week.

The best thing about Text-Em-All is that it fully integrates with our ATS system. Makes communications seamless! I also love the fact that you can respond to messages in real-time from within the platform. I also love that we can adjust our message character limit as needed and that messaging notifications are also sent via email to ensure that we don't miss a response.

The website is extremely user-friendly and a "breeze" to use. Overall, I use this service to quickly and easily communicate with my workforce. Employees today want communication that is 1) fast, 2) easy, and 3) speaking their language. Text-Em-All has this and more!

Add your contacts, and let us do the rest

We offer a few different ways to add contacts to your account. You can add contacts to a broadcast or upload and manage contacts and groups to use when needed. We’ll automatically identify textable numbers, and show you any number that can’t receive a text.

Compose your message and instantly send to your entire list

Broadcast your message to everyone on your list in just a few minutes. Choose a voice/text/combo message, the type of message (survey or announcement), schedule for now or later, add your contacts, create your message, and send.

Engage contacts with 2-way text conversations

Continue the conversation when individuals reply to your broadcasts with two-way texting. Answer questions, provide more details, and improve customer satisfaction by responding to contacts who reply to your broadcast.

Understand results with detailed analytics & reporting

See exactly who answered, who received a voicemail, and whose numbers aren’t working anymore. All survey results will be compiled automatically into an easy-to-understand graph. We also provide detailed reports on billing history, usage, opt-outs, phone number history, credit balance, and text activity.

Identify yourself

When text messaging candidates, always include your name or the name of the organization you're representing so your talent pool clearly 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 easily opt-out by responding with the term "STOP."

Use a professional tone

Always use a professional tone in your messages and remain polite. This builds trust with candidates and employees, reducing the likelihood of them reporting your number as spam.

Keep a clean database

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