By the time candidates read a promotional email and a job description, you’ve more than likely lost half of the qualified leads. It’s been said time and time again that we need to adapt to change and figure out the best way to fill our reqs and get butts in seats.
6. A WORD FROM DIERBERGS
● A brief history
● Roles to fill
● Why texting?
7. COMMUNICATION B.T. [before text]
● Old fashion emails and phone calls [the dreaded game of phone tag]
● No one was responding or answering
● Job boards - a longer link would be attached and they would get lost in
the rabbit hole
● Couldn’t process candidates fast enough before the competition got to
the candidate
8. INSTANT SUCCESS A.T. [after text]
“The day we switched to texts, we got
responses back in seconds.”
● Turn around time has been amazing with TextRecruit
