Candidate Text Messaging for Faster Employee Screening

 

Take a Closer Look

People open, read, and respond to text messages faster than emails or phone calls.

TextMagic reports dozens of enlightening statistics demonstrating this: 90% of text messages are read within 3 minutes, and the majority of people (89%) have their smartphone easily accessible.

This is why optimizing your hiring workflows for mobile isn't just smart—it's a must in today's tight labor market. Because if you're still using email or the phone to engage applicants (including the background check process) and your competitors are using text, well...you know how this story ends.

  • Quicker turnarounds: The streamlined kick-off helps reduce overall turnaround time.
  • Easier reference verifications: If the applicant gives consent on behalf of their reference, we'll text the reference asking them to give us a call. This reduces friction as well.
