How our text recruiting service works
Add your contacts, and let us do the rest
We offer a few different ways to add contacts to our text recruiting platform. 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.

Understand the results of your broadcasts
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 messaging activity.
4 Best practices to avoid message blocking
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.
Questions about mass texting for staffing
-
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's the best way to gain a candidate's consent?
Job seekers 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.
