Give candidates a WhatsApp path for hiring intake and support
WhatsApp chat can handle role FAQs, screening intake, and interview scheduling where your team already messages candidates.
What is hiring whatsapp chat automation?
A hiring WhatsApp chat agent handles customer-started messaging for role FAQs, screening intake, and interview scheduling, then escalates topics involving hiring decisions, compensation negotiation, or confidential role details to recruiters and hiring managers. Keep a familiar messaging channel for logistics without unsupervised advice.
