Use Cases

The usability of SMS texting for recruitment purposes are endless. Feel free to skim through this extensive list of some ways that you can use our SMS technology today for your business campaigns:

• Appointment Reminders: Send messages to subscribers who meet certain criteria only. This is all possible through Automated Workflows, which essentially creates different branches of communication depending on the subscriber’s response. Therefore, if a subscriber answers yes or no to a question that you asked, it will trigger subsequent questions until the end of the chain. This guarantees that you are free from having to respond to each message manually. 
• Automated Responses: We care about saving your time and energy. You can set up a one time automated message that can even prompt the subscriber to answer follow up questions, gauge availability, qualify candidates, collect paperwork, and set reminders for upcoming interviews.
