SMS Campaign to Optimize the Hiring Process
The hiring process can be tedious for HR teams, requiring them to review dozens or even hundreds of applications, conduct interviews, and select the best candidates. Fortunately, modern solutions can streamline this workflow, one of them being SMS campaigns.
SMS Campaigns for Interview Reminders
Some candidates miss their interviews due to:
- Forgetfulness
- Unexpected events (illness, accident, etc.)
- More attractive job offers elsewhere
Such absences disrupt HR schedules and delay hiring. Sending SMS interview reminders helps reduce no-shows and allows candidates to confirm their attendance.
Sending Links for Pre-Interview Assessments
Resumes highlight a candidate’s skills but don’t always reflect their suitability for a role. This is why companies often conduct psychometric tests before interviews. Previously, these assessments were done in person, but now, they can be completed remotely.
HR teams can send candidates a link via SMS, enabling them to take the test at their convenience and confirm their participation if needed.
Tracking the Hiring Process
Maintaining contact with candidates throughout the hiring process prevents miscommunication, enhances their experience, and demonstrates respect. An SMS campaign ensures efficient follow-up by:
- Confirming application receipt and thanking candidates
- Communicating pre-selection results (rejection or advancement)
- Sending links for psychometric tests
- Notifying candidates of test results
- Inviting candidates for interviews
- Sending interview reminders (1–2 days before)
- Thanking candidates for attending interviews
- Updating candidates on their application status
- Announcing hiring decisions
- Sharing first-day details with new hires
