Wizehire Texting is a premium feature designed for communicating with candidates via text message. Utilize the primary phone number on the candidate’s profile to send texts through Wizehire.
Upon receiving replies from candidates, you can be notified in several ways:
Via email
On the Wizehire mobile app
From your main dashboard on the desktop site
By viewing a candidate's messaging timeline
Wizehire automatically generates a random sender number for each candidate, ensuring it is not linked to your personal number.
Enabling the feature on a Quickstart account:
(Growth and Concierge clients, please contact your SRM for more information!)
Navigate to your account settings, then scroll down and select 'Candidate Texting':
You can add or remove the texting feature from your account anytime!
The fee for candidate texting is an additional $49/month, for up to 100 applicant conversations (not per message sent/received).
Depending on your billing date, you will be charged a prorated amount when you enable the feature.
If you remove the feature, unused conversations for that month will be forfeited.
How to text a candidate:
While logged in to your Wizehire account, navigate to the candidate you would like to send a text message to
Open the “Messages” tab of the candidate profile and choose “Send as SMS”:
Draft your own message, or choose to “Apply a template” you’ve already created for text messaging purposes!
These should be shorter than most email templates. We recommend you keep SMS messages under 320 characters for optimal delivery and user experience.
Learn more about templates here.
When you’re ready, click ‘Send SMS’ to get the conversation started!
Things to note:
If the candidate provided a phone number that is not available to receive text messages, the system will prompt you to email them instead:
Candidates can opt-out (and back in) of receiving SMS messages. You will be notified in the messages tab if someone has opted out of SMS communication:
Wizehire texting is currently only available between phone numbers based in the US
