Communication tools for recruiters
Increase engagement and improve your communications with job seekers and customers.
In order to stay one step ahead of the competition, recruitment agencies should look to implement digital tools like SMS in order to have more engaging interactions with candidates.
Top talent won’t stay on the market for long so it’s up to recruiters to make sure they send the right communications quickly and in an effective way.
In fact, 73% of job seekers prefer to receive targeted job opportunities via text, and 89% think mobile devices play a critical role in the job hunting process.
The continued increase in smartphone numbers provides recruitment agencies with the opportunity to address these desires.
