How do temporary employment agencies use the SMS
Like many companies, temporary employment agencies use sending SMS as a communication tool in its own right. An obvious choice when you consider that it has a much higher a much higher open rate than email (95% versus 12%).
It's a sure-fire way to reach your target. And SMS is less intrusive than a phone call. That's why this channel is so popular with recruitment companies, especially when it comes to sending out job orders.
Manpower, Adecco, Randstad and Expectra are just some of the big names in the employment world who are already using SMS to support their local branches or manage their recruitment processes from head office - and, by the same token, their relationship with candidates. Startups, which are "uberizing" the model, have also been won over by the maximum responsiveness generated by SMS behind the (very) small screen. StaffBooker, Badakan, Brigad and even UberWorks have already banked on mobile communication.
Through tools for managing applications, schedules and contracts, SMS in the temporary employment sector is at the heart of agency/candidate communication.
Inform and notify temporary workers
Sending mobile communications as part of the recruitment process can be useful for a variety of needs. Here are just a few examples:
- Candidate registration confirmation
- Number validation (SMS OTP)
- Job offers alerts
- Sending an eligibility message to an applicant
- Electronic signature of employment contracts
- Appointment reminder
- Reminder of mission dates
- Interview preparation tips
- Provision of documents
A recruitment company urgently needs a temp for a job? Broadcast a last-second mobile alert to the segment of candidates with the right profile. You can use the "message reply " option to automatically manage your candidates' feedback. Their responses will be stored directly in your smsmode© account, or available via callback URL if you use the API. They can also be easily exported to an Excel file.
