Reminder before the job interview

SmartChat takes the appointment from your calendar and reminds your candidate the day before. They then know where to go and what to bring.

This is how you collect contacts from candidates.

Candidates sign up themselves: through the QR code in your shop window, on your online job board, or through a link under your ads. Only people who then agree themselves in WhatsApp get messages.

Frequently asked questions about WhatsApp marketing for recruiters.

Can I simply message candidates from my applicant file on WhatsApp?

Not just like that. Only people who have confirmed get your WhatsApp newsletter. You can import candidates from your database as a file. They are unconfirmed at first and only get the newsletter after confirming: either by clicking the confirmation message or with proof. You can also invite them to sign up through your landing page . SmartChat saves for every contact when they agreed.

How do I reach the candidates who are already in my file?

Put the link to your landing page everywhere you talk with candidates: in your signature, under every job ad and on your business card. Whoever signs up and confirms gets your jobs on WhatsApp from then on. You can also import them via a file. They only get the newsletter after confirming.

Is SmartChat an applicant management system for my recruiting agency?

No. You keep managing résumés, profiles and placements in your current software. SmartChat sends your WhatsApp messages and collects all conversations with candidates in one inbox. If your applicant management can report new applications via webhook, SmartChat automatically sends a receipt confirmation.

Can I send a job only to candidates with a matching profession?

Yes. You give your contacts tags, for example accounting, warehouse or electrics, and build segments from them. You then send a new job for electricians only to the electrics segment.

What applies to data protection when applicants write to me on WhatsApp?

SmartChat supports you with consent that complies with data protection rules: every candidate confirms themselves, and you have the proof as a PDF. How long you keep applicant data and when you pass it on to a company, you clarify with your data protection officer. This answer is not legal advice.

Do I have to write the texts for my jobs myself?

No. SmartChat AI writes the newsletter from your job ads, with profession, location and working hours. You read the text, change it if needed and send it with one click.

How does SmartChat AI know my open jobs?
